General Dentistry
We provide comprehensive preventive and restorative dental treatments including check-ups, cleanings, fillings, and emergency care. Our approach focuses on maintaining optimal oral health through regular examinations and tailored preventive strategies. Patients benefit from early detection of dental issues and timely interventions to preserve natural teeth.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Our cosmetic treatments transform smiles through teeth whitening, veneers, and smile makeovers. Using Digital Smile Design technology, we create customised treatment plans that enhance facial aesthetics while maintaining dental function. Patients achieve natural-looking results that boost confidence and improve overall appearance.
Dental Implants
We offer permanent tooth replacement solutions using dental implants that mimic natural teeth in appearance and function. Our implantology services include single-tooth replacements, multiple implants, and full-arch restorations. Patients enjoy improved chewing ability, speech clarity, and long-term oral health benefits.
Teeth Straightening
We provide modern teeth straightening options including Invisalign clear aligners and traditional braces. Our orthodontic treatments address misalignment issues to improve bite function and dental aesthetics. Patients achieve properly aligned teeth that are easier to clean and maintain.
Facial Aesthetics
Our facial aesthetics services combine dental expertise with cosmetic enhancements using treatments like Botox and dermal fillers. These non-surgical options address facial lines and lip volume while maintaining natural expressions. Patients achieve refreshed appearances with minimal downtime.

Report
This has been my dentist for a long time. Never had a problem and never had to wait very long for an appointment. Was expecting to have to wait a while this time due to covid however I was offered an appointment on the day I called.

Report
Due to a change in circumstance, I was not able to afford to get new dentures, but after scrimping and scraping for 6 years, I finally had enough money together for new dentures.... Tried to make an appointment today but was told that I've been removed from the patient list as I had not been to the practice since 2015 and they are not taking on new patience as they are full... Well guess what, sometimes it takes that long, or longer, to scape together pennies to afford even NHS dentures! But they would take me on as a private patient? Thought you were full up???

I joined this dental practice because my regular dentist retired. From the first visit I felt relaxed and was impressed with their professionalism. Each visit has given me even more confidence and have recommend them to several friends . My smile is important to me and the advice and treatment I've received form David was second to none .Thank you all.
