Services
Teeth Whitening
Our professional teeth whitening treatments use advanced dental technology to safely lighten tooth enamel. This cosmetic procedure effectively removes stains from coffee, wine, and smoking while maintaining dental health. Patients receive custom-fitted trays for touch-ups at home.
Invisalign
Invisalign treatment straightens teeth using clear, removable aligners. Our certified practitioners create custom treatment plans for adults and teens seeking discreet orthodontic solutions without traditional metal braces.
Dental Implants
We offer complete dental implant solutions for missing teeth, including surgical placement and restoration. Our in-house implant service eliminates the need for multiple providers while maintaining strict infection control standards.
Nervous Patient Care
Our specialist programme helps anxious patients through gentle communication and gradual treatment approaches. The team receives specific training to create comfortable environments for patients with dental phobias.
Hygienist Services
Our hygienists provide preventative care including professional cleanings, gum disease prevention, and oral hygiene education. Evening and Saturday appointments accommodate busy schedules while maintaining continuity of care.

Told me they werent doing any non-urgent NHS treatments (I.e check-ups) because they were over-whelmed

I am terrified of the demist and have been for years. David always puts me completely at ease, he is so calm and always checks I am OK. I was dreading this mornings appointment as I knew I needed a big filling. I opted for the wand, it was brillian and I would recommend if you are nervous of needles. Thank you so much to David and a the staff, you do an amazing job xx
