Services
Dental Implants
We offer dental implants to replace missing teeth, from single implants to complex All-on-4 procedures. Our principal dentist, Dr Prashant Patel, has extensive experience in restoring smiles with durable, natural-looking results. Implants provide a permanent solution for improved function and aesthetics.
Invisalign
Invisalign aligners straighten teeth discreetly and comfortably. Suitable for adults and teens, this treatment corrects misalignment without traditional braces. Our team ensures precise planning for efficient, effective results tailored to individual needs.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Our cosmetic dentistry services include smile makeovers, veneers, and bonding to improve tooth colour, shape, and alignment. We use metal-free materials for natural, long-lasting enhancements that boost confidence and oral health.
Root Canal Treatment
Root canal treatment removes infected pulp to save damaged teeth. Performed with advanced techniques, this procedure alleviates pain and prevents further complications, preserving natural teeth for improved long-term oral health.
Tooth Whitening
Professional tooth whitening brightens discoloured teeth using safe, effective methods. We offer customised take-home kits and in-practice treatments for rapid results, enhancing smiles with minimal sensitivity and lasting effects.

I just wanted to say Thank you to the Beech Lane Dental Care team! I am so scared of the dentist but having an tooth extraction, it couldn't have gone better. They made me feel at ease, comfortable, super clean surgery! Pricing is also very reasonable. Thanks again for making my visit stress free!

After a dental emergency, I visited Beech Lane practice for a second opinion on treatment needed. Pav was excellent and promptly organised for root canal treatment. My root canals were unusually deep however Pav was able to successfully treat me and the procedures all went smoothly. I have my new Crown fitted and happy with the result. Thanks again to the Beech Lane team.

Prash Patel's care is, and has been since he took over the practice, excellent. I had reason to consult a dental practice out of the area last year and they had nothing but praise for his work. His manner is gentle and highly professional. I was fitted in at very short notice recently for emergency work and his fairly new receptionist was absolutely brilliant. Thank you so much, Prash, and your team.

If you are looking to have an implant, look no further. Prash and his team have looked after me so well and I am very happy with my new 'tooth'. Prash puts you at ease - his calm, professional approach and dedication to his patient is exemplary. There were plenty of explanations about what was occurring, which I really appreciated and his team kept me notified with appointments reminders and help, when I phoned. It could have been a worrying experience, but it wasn't and I am very happy to recommend Beech Lane Dental Practice. My thanks to you all.

The team at Beech Lane took real care over my treatment at every step of the way. I had fairly significant work undertaken - 2 x implants and bridge fitted by Prash and also a number of fillings replaced and a crown at the front by Pav - both were excellent. The dental nurses and reception staff have also been really good. The work has taken some time so have had a number of appointments, which has been during Covid and the practice were very careful to maintain safety during this time. Thanks to the whole team for their care.

What more can I say to add to the other reviews? Everything about the implant procedure was superb, great care and expertise from start to finish. Thanks Prash & all the team, kind and professional. It's simply amazing to have my tooth back! Implantologist extraordinaire!

Emma was running on time and really pleasant and helpful as always. Makes me feel comfortable and at ease and I'm no fan of dental surgeries.

At first I thought the implant procedure would be a rather painful affair, but was pleased to find Prash ensured I hardly felt any discomfort at all. It was less painful than a filling and the end result was brilliant! I now have my front tooth looking just as it did years ago. Thanks Beech Lane.

Everybody at the practice is very efficient and helpful, but also extremely friendly, and making you feel totally at ease. Their attention to hygiene during this particularly difficult time was excellent. Even though Im moving house, to over an hour away, I shall continue using the practice in the future.

I spent decades being terrified of dental visits, to the point of putting them off, which made problems worse. Prash and his team are exceptional. They are professional and working to high standards. But what helped me the most, is the way they all bring such a genuine caring experience. I am put at ease immediately. And they listen when you say you are nervous! Thank you.

Cannot recommend Prash and his team more - wonderfully friendly and helpful receptionists, Emma is a superb hygienist and Prash is calm reassuring and incredibly professional - never thought going to the dentist with three children would be so enjoyable
