Services
General Dentistry
Our general dentistry services focus on preventive care and early intervention to maintain long-term oral health. We provide comprehensive check-ups, professional cleanings, and tailored hygiene advice using advanced diagnostic tools. Our approach combines thorough examinations with patient education to address issues before they escalate, ensuring optimal dental wellness for all ages.
Dental Implants
We offer single and multiple dental implant solutions to restore missing teeth with natural-looking, permanent results. Our specialists use guided surgical techniques and high-quality prosthetics for secure, functional replacements. The process includes detailed planning with 3D imaging to ensure precise placement and long-term success, helping patients regain confidence in their smile and bite function.
Emergency Appointments
Our emergency dental service addresses acute pain, trauma, or sudden dental issues with same-day appointments. We prioritise rapid diagnosis and pain management, offering immediate interventions like temporary fillings or stabilisation treatments. Patients receive clear guidance on next steps, with follow-up care coordinated to resolve underlying problems efficiently and comfortably.
Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening treatments safely enhance smile aesthetics using custom-fitted trays and clinically tested gels. We provide take-home kits with dentist-supervised application for gradual lightening, along with in-practice options for faster results. Each plan considers enamel sensitivity levels, ensuring effective whitening while maintaining dental health and natural tooth structure.
Facial Aesthetics
Our facial aesthetics services offer minimally invasive enhancements using dermal fillers and muscle relaxants. Treatments target fine lines, lip volume, and facial contours while maintaining natural expressions. Practitioners apply dental expertise in facial anatomy to achieve balanced, subtle rejuvenation that complements patients' smiles and overall appearance.

Report
Called Acomb Dental Clinic on Front Street to review a troublesome tooth which has bothered me for some time. As ever, the team were very professional and the dentist, Chris Hand, diagnosed the problem very quickly after a thorough examination. He has given me some alternative treatments to consider, so it is now up to me to decide the way forward. Not an ideal way to spend half an hour of your time, but if you are looking for dental treatment, Acomb Dental is highly recommended.

I have been a patient there for quite a few years and as always the experience was brilliant, you are made to feel as ease from the moment you arrive and the friendly atmosphere make what could be a scary time peaceful and assured that the professional staff are capable of dealing with any problem you may have. I moved from York to Leeds over two years ago and have good dentists nearer but I am happy to travel the extra distance to have the confidence they always give me.

Report
I had 11 teeth out yesterday and the whole procedure was carried out with efficiency and care. The team couldn't have been more caring and kind. Thank you to Maria and Karen in particular they were superb. I was supported every minute of the procedure. This is the start of my implant surgery so am looking forward to the next step.
