Services
Dental Implants
Dental implants replace missing teeth using advanced techniques performed by specialist Dr Stephen Davies. This service restores functionality and aesthetics, tailored to individual jawbone conditions. Patients benefit from long-term durability and natural-looking results, with options for single or multiple tooth replacements.
Dentures
Custom-made dentures crafted by Clinical Dental Technician Jonathan Hughes offer comfortable, functional tooth replacement. Available in partial or full sets, these prosthetics are designed for optimal fit and aesthetics. Patients receive chairside adjustments and ongoing support to ensure comfort and usability.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Our cosmetic treatments include teeth whitening, veneers, and smile makeovers to improve dental aesthetics. These procedures address discolouration, misalignment, and shape irregularities. Patients achieve confidence-boosting results through minimally invasive techniques and professional-grade materials.
Dental Emergencies
Same-day appointments address severe toothache, infections, and trauma. Our out-of-hours service handles critical cases requiring immediate intervention. Patients receive prompt pain relief and stabilisation, with follow-up care plans to prevent complications.
Hygienist Appointments
Professional cleaning sessions remove plaque and prevent gum disease through scaling and polishing. Hygienists provide tailored oral hygiene advice and preventive care. Regular visits maintain fresh breath, reduce decay risk, and support overall dental health.

Report
We have used Stephen Davies for a number of years now and find the service excellent. The children have been coming since they were very young and he puts them at ease. He charges a flat rate for the kids and dont feel pushed to have anything we dont want. I have had a few treatments with Stephen over the years and he fully explains the procedure; what it involves; and most importantly, how much pain is involved! I used to have a big fear of dentists but the staff here are compassionate and caring, that I wouldnt hesitate to use them for any dental treatment!

The Best Dental Practice in the UK. Stephen Davies is a brilliant dentist. He explains what the work entails and is calm, friendly and extremely knowledgeable. He also gives the least painful injections ever! (if you've got to have an injection - you'd want him to do it). The practice is fitted-out with up-to-date equipment and spotlessly clean, the waiting area calm and relaxing. The dental nurses and receptionists are also friendly, efficient and just lovely. I take my kids here too- they have excellent teeth and honestly, they look forward to going in for check-ups! I have been to maybe 20

Just brilliant. They managed to squeeze me in the same week after I chipped my front tooth, the tooth was sensitive and was catching on my lip, not to mention making eating difficult. Their customer service from reception to dentist is outstanding. I was unbelievably nervous but they were were all so kind. My teeth aren't the greatest but I didn't get any judgement from Steve (the dentist who fixed my tooth). I'm definitely going to request a health check up with him and look to having my other tooth fixed which I know requires a filling. All in all an excellent practise - thank you SO much.
