Services
Dental Implants
Our implantology specialists replace missing teeth with titanium fixtures that fuse with jawbone tissue. Using advanced CT scanning for precise placement, we offer single implants, full-mouth reconstructions, and bone augmentation procedures. Patients benefit from improved chewing function and natural-looking aesthetics through our tailored implant solutions.
Facial Aesthetics
Dentists trained in facial anatomy provide Botox and dermal filler treatments to reduce wrinkles and enhance facial features. Our approach combines dental expertise with aesthetic understanding to achieve balanced, natural results while maintaining oral health considerations during treatment planning.
Endodontist Services
Specialist endodontists treat dental pulp and nerve issues using microscopes for enhanced precision. We address infected teeth through root canal therapy, preserving natural dentition while alleviating pain and preventing extraction through advanced endodontic techniques.
Preventative Dentistry
Regular check-ups and hygiene appointments form the foundation of our preventative care. We offer tailored advice on oral hygiene routines, dietary habits, and early detection of potential issues through comprehensive examinations and digital imaging technologies.
Children's Dentistry
We create positive dental experiences for children through gentle treatments and preventative education. Our approach includes early screening for developmental issues, fluoride applications, and establishing good oral hygiene habits in a welcoming environment designed for young patients.

I was recommeded to this practice by a friend and have never turned back. Staff are always so welcoming and the dentist always goes over and above to make me feel comfortable and at ease throughout my appointments. I'm quite shocked at some of the previous negative reviews (clearly someone was having a bad day) and had to say my piece. Great practice, great service and would highly recommend.

Moralless heartless con artists! If you are trying to find a dentist who accepts NHS patients, avoid this one at all costs. Their scam is to trap you in, then sell you their expensive private treatments. My dentist totally ignored my pain, refused to give me any treatment, instead advised me to see their private specialist and lied about NHS options and charged me for the advice. After reading many horror stories about their dentists, I actually feel lucky that she didnt give me any treatments, otherwise she could have messed me up badly.
NHS and CQC really should inspect this practice.

As someone who is at best, apprehensive, at visiting Dentists, and have avoided going over a good few years - having been recommended this place by a friend of mine, I just want to say what a great team they have here at St John's. I always find I get a very personable experience whenever I visit for any of the work i've had done over the last few months. Ella on reception is always a welcome sight on arriving, especially when she's reassuring me I'll be fine... even though i'm nearly 30.. Whether you deal with Ella, or Maisey on reception I believe you get a very professional and accommodating

Dr Sita Madaan is the best dentist anyone could hope for. In the past year I have changed eight very old fillings. Dr Madaan did such a fantastic job that not even I can remember now which teeth are which! Zero pain, absolute perfection. I was also impressed with the professional behaviour of Dr Madaan and her colleagues- always responsive, always willing to respond to my questions. Our children have also been attending St John's practice for five years now and we are always more than delighted with their service. Even when one child had a clicky jaw, they went out of their way to guide and support
