Services
Dental Implants
Our dental implant service provides permanent tooth replacement solutions using titanium posts fused with jawbone. Suitable for single or multiple missing teeth, this treatment restores chewing function and facial aesthetics. Patients benefit from improved confidence and long-term oral health stability through our expertly placed implants.
Teeth Whitening
Professional Zoom whitening treatments safely lighten tooth enamel by several shades in two-hour sessions. Our clinicians protect gum tissue while applying bleaching agents, achieving noticeable results without sensitivity. This cosmetic procedure enhances smiles for special occasions or general confidence improvement.
Root Canal Therapy
Specialist root canal treatment removes infected pulp from tooth interiors, preserving natural teeth. Using advanced techniques, we clean and seal root canals to eliminate pain and prevent reinfection. This procedure saves teeth that would otherwise require extraction, maintaining natural bite alignment.
Dental Crowns
Custom-made crowns restore damaged teeth' strength and appearance using durable ceramic materials. We fit these protective caps over prepared tooth remnants, addressing fractures, large fillings, or post-root canal protection. Crowns improve both dental function and aesthetic uniformity in smiles.
Emergency Care
Our out-of-hours emergency service treats dental trauma, infections, and severe pain outside regular hours. Patients receive prompt attention for issues like broken teeth, abscesses, or lost fillings. Immediate intervention prevents complications and provides rapid symptom relief through our accessible emergency appointments.

WOW! I had not been to the dentist for a long time, mainly due to the fear of dentists. From meeting the friendly receptionist to Catherine the dentist, I cannot recommend this practice enough. I was even surprised by the cost, after not been for 10 years, it was less than half what I expected. I would not hesitate to recommend this practice and the whole team.

Five stars are not enough, it should be six. I lost a filling and broke a tooth. The standard of treatment was excellent from a professional team of people. Thank you, I would strongly recommend this Dental Practice.

Thank you Catherine, I woke this morning in comfort! You and your team really are the very best! And perverse as it sounds (as no one likes going to the dentists!) I enjoy catching up with you all when i come. I've never experienced the pain or fear I've had with other dentists! Keep on keeping on! This is the BEST dentist experience you could have

The service and care received by everyone at the practice is excellent. Having been a patient for several years I have had the pleasure of working with all the staff. Everyone ensures that they make your visit to the dentist as pain free and efficient as possible. I would highly recommend this practice to anyone.

Charlotte was great. I am like a little child when it comes to dentist appointments, I am completely terrified of dentists but Charlotte was very patient and nice. She took the time to explain everything step by step. It usually takes a long time for me to trust a dentist but here, after the first visit I will definitely go back again! Thank you!

I would like to express my great thanks to the whole team for the quality of my dental treatment and the sensitivity and consideration with which it was carried out. At the age of 16 I had my teeth 'fixed' following a car accident, an experience that left me milldy phobic of dental procedures and less than happy with the result. Having raised the possibility of improving the appearance of my teeth with my previous dentist and barely got an answer I decided to forget it. Presumably I was too old or a lost cause and I was not in any case actively distressed by my odd teeth. Catherine and Charlotte, however, had other ideas and after ever so tactfully asking me if I was happy with the apearance of my teeth ('no.
I never have been'), suggested I embark on the Clearstep treatment. Several painless and relatively effortless months later I am truly delighted by the improved appearance of my teeth. It was easier and the result so much better than I even imagined. So thank you for your professionalism, expertise, patience, tolerance, courtesy and reassurance every step of the way. My phobia is no more and my smile is loads better, after 35 years!
