Services
Cosmetic Dentistry
Our cosmetic dentistry services include tooth whitening and advanced aesthetic treatments to improve your smile's appearance. Using modern techniques, we address discolouration, misalignment, and other cosmetic concerns. Patients benefit from natural-looking results that boost confidence and oral health.
Root Canal Treatment
We perform microscope-aided root canal treatments to save infected or damaged teeth. This precise procedure removes infected pulp, cleans the root canal, and seals it to prevent reinfection. Patients experience relief from pain and preservation of their natural tooth structure.
Emergency Treatments
Capel Dental offers urgent care for dental emergencies like severe pain, broken teeth, or infections. Through The247dentist partnership, we provide same-day appointments 365 days a year. Patients receive prompt, effective solutions to alleviate discomfort and prevent complications.
Preventative Dentistry
Our preventative services include regular check-ups, cleanings, and oral cancer screenings to maintain optimal dental health. Hygienists perform scale and polish treatments to prevent gum disease. Patients benefit from early detection of issues and long-term cost savings through proactive care.
Tooth Extractions
We perform safe, minimally invasive tooth extractions for damaged, decayed, or overcrowded teeth. Local anaesthesia ensures patient comfort during the procedure. Post-extraction care guidance helps promote quick healing and prevents complications like dry socket.

Report
Asked to wait 3 months for an appointment as a private paying patient. They then changed the date with 2 weeks to go which I couldn't do and was told I'd have to wait another 3 months to be seen. Was also demanded that I pay for a subscription service before my first visit...but that the first months subscription wouldn't count towards this treatment and there would be additional costs. Disappointing experience for someone new to the area. No attempt to find a solution. Good luck to anyone new seeing them.

We registered as a family and the first time our children (4 & 2) have been to a Dentist (due to the Covid lockdown). The staff were so lovely to the children and made them feel very safe and comfortable with a complete stranger looking in their mouths. Covid safe procedures in place. So glad we got registered here.
