Services
Dental Implants
Our dental implant treatments replace missing teeth using titanium posts that fuse with jawbone tissue. This permanent solution offers superior stability compared to traditional dentures. Our specialists use advanced imaging technology to ensure precise placement and long-term success.
Orthodontics
We offer comprehensive orthodontic treatments including traditional braces, clear aligners, and removable appliances. Our Royal Hospital-trained specialists create customised plans to correct misalignment and improve bite function for patients of all ages.
CEREC Crowns
Using CAD/CAM technology, we create custom porcelain crowns in a single appointment. This eliminates the need for temporary crowns and multiple visits, providing durable restorations that match natural tooth colour and shape.
Emergency Dentistry
We prioritise same-day appointments for dental emergencies including trauma, infections, and severe pain. Our experienced team provides immediate relief and follow-up treatment to preserve oral health and prevent complications.
Root Canal Treatment
Our specialists use high-magnification equipment to treat infected tooth pulp, saving natural teeth from extraction. This procedure eliminates pain and prevents reinfection through thorough cleaning and sealing of root canals.

I thoroughly recommend Alington. I have been a patient of Simons for over 20 years and the care and attention he has always shown is second to none. Its a funny thing to say that I enjoy going to the dentist, but I actually do! This is because the whole team are lovely, everyone is warm and friendly, and they make you feel relaxed while youre there. As well as general check ups, I have also had orthodontics (a brace), a root canal and crown, white fillings and whitening treatments. I also use Liz for hygienists treatments. I have recommended many people to the practice and I often meet
