Services
Dental Examinations
Our comprehensive dental examinations help identify oral health issues early. Using advanced diagnostic tools, we assess teeth, gums, and mouth health to create personalised treatment plans. Regular check-ups prevent problems and maintain optimal oral health for patients of all ages.
Restorative Dentistry
We restore damaged or missing teeth with fillings, crowns, bridges, and dentures. Our restorative treatments improve function and appearance while preventing further dental complications. We use durable materials that match natural teeth for seamless results.
Dental Implants
The Devon Dental Implant Centre offers permanent tooth replacement solutions. Our specialists place titanium implants that fuse with jawbone tissue, providing stable foundations for crowns, bridges, or dentures. This treatment preserves facial structure and prevents bone loss.
Anxiety Management
We specialise in treating anxious patients with sedation dentistry and compassionate care. Our team creates comfortable environments and uses gentle techniques to help patients overcome dental fears through gradual desensitisation and open communication.
Domiciliary Care
NHS-commissioned domiciliary services bring dental care to patients unable to visit clinics. Our mobile team provides examinations, treatments, and oral health education in patients' homes, care facilities, or hospitals across the local region.

Report
After years of being terrified of going to the dentist I heard about TDP. I was told that they were very experienced with nervous patients and would put me at ease. I badly needed a dentist and could not get any joy. The reception team were warm and caring and my dentist was so understanding. John promised to help me over my fear and he has delivered! I am finally trusting of a dentist and no longer need sedation!! I have now had my numerous tooth problems sorted out. I am so grateful to the whole team, they take pride in their work and care about your health.

Great Practice. My dentist there Sarah is extremely professional and you feel completely at ease with her. She clearly explains things with a detailed report and even did a cast of my teeth to explain further what needed doing. This is the sort of service I have never had In all my years going to other dentists in the past. I unfortunately need a fair bit doing, but feel I am in very safe hands with Sarah now as my dentist. Even her assistant was top notch being very alert and attentive at all times.
