Services
Biocompatible Fillings
We use biocompatible materials for fillings that are safer for your health and the environment. These restorations bond securely with tooth structure, reducing sensitivity and promoting longevity. Our approach prioritizes minimal intervention while ensuring durability, with costs varying based on treatment complexity.
Dental Hygiene
Our hygienists provide deep cleanings and gum disease prevention tailored to individual needs. Treatments include plaque removal, fluoride applications, and personalized oral hygiene advice. Regular sessions help maintain gum health and prevent systemic health risks linked to periodontal disease.
Emergency Dentistry
We offer same-day emergency assessments for dental pain or trauma. Our out-of-hours service covers evenings, weekends, and holidays through a trusted local network. Emergency fees may apply, with potential reimbursement for plan members.
Sustainable Dental Care
Our practice minimizes environmental impact through digital X-rays, paperless records, and energy-efficient equipment. We use natural cleaning products and recycle non-clinical waste. This approach reduces resource consumption while maintaining clinical excellence.

I have suffered with problematic teeth since a young age. Throughout my twenties and thirties I've seen lots of different dentists who have all generally left me feeling pretty traumatised and definitely down about my teeth.
Nicola has given me new hope and the Natural Smile dental practise is an absolute pleasure to visit. All the staff are lovely, the practise is clean and bright and their ethos is inspiring. I travel from London to Bristol to fix my teeth and it is definitely worth the journey. I 100% recommend the Natural Smile! : )

When I attended my first appointment at The Natural Smile I immediately felt at home, that I was in the right place for me and this has proved to be the case.
Nicola is an excellent dentist who takes great pride in her work and can only be described as passionate about teeth. She takes an holistic approach and looks at your teeth in relation to your body as a whole. A lot of thought goes into what she does. Obviously, she looks for any decay that needs to be dealt with but she also takes into account whether your teeth are functional for their purpose e.g. biting/chewing and attention is paid

I've been a patient with NS for about 3 years and I cannot praise them enough. I don't use the word lightly when I say I was traumatised by my past dentists and Nicola's patience and kindness with me has made a world of difference as I get my teeth up to scratch. Nicola and the team are helping me overcome my anxiety and empowering me, I may even go as far as saying I look forward to the dentist now! :)

As soon as you step through the door, The Natural Smile's friendly receptionists will put you at ease with their reassuring manner. In fact, all the staff are incredibly nice and highly professional!
Check-ups are more in-depth than those I had been used to, and Dr Mei-An clearly explained the process to me along the way. A small dental procedure was carried out very smoothly. I was not left with doubts and unanswered questions as with previous dentists Id been to. The hygienist, Carina, was similarly thorough and also gave me tailored advice for maintaining my dental health something

I have been with Nicola at this practice since it's inception. And in that time my dental health has improved considerably. Everything now feels just right, and all previous dental work has either been improved upon or replaced. Nicola and her staff are always a pleasure to meet, and the attention to detail at the Natural Smile and their patient focus is second to none.
