Services
Routine Preventive Care
Our comprehensive dental examinations include head and neck screenings, gum health assessments, and digital imaging. We focus on early detection of issues like decay and gum disease, providing tailored advice for home care. Patients receive personalized prevention plans to maintain optimal oral health and avoid future complications.
Teeth Whitening
We offer professional home whitening kits using custom-fitted trays and safe bleaching gels. This treatment effectively lightens tooth enamel without damaging dental structures. Results typically appear within two weeks, with guidance provided to maintain long-lasting effects and manage sensitivity risks.
Orthodontic Treatments
Specialist orthodontic solutions include fixed metal/white brackets and clear aligners. Treatment corrects misaligned teeth, improving both aesthetics and function. Our dentist has over 25 years of orthodontic experience, offering tailored plans for adults and children to achieve proper bite alignment and confident smiles.
Emergency Dentistry
We provide same-day emergency appointments for dental trauma, infections, or severe pain. Services include pain management, fracture repairs, and infection control. An out-of-hours service operates for registered patients, ensuring timely care for critical dental emergencies outside regular hours.
Dental Hygiene Services
Professional scale and polish treatments remove plaque and calculus buildup. We offer three hygiene tiers, including deep cleaning for periodontal disease. Patients receive dietary advice and oral hygiene instruction to prevent gum disease, bad breath, and tooth loss through regular maintenance.

I would like to thank Dr Matthew and his team at Manor house Dental for getting me the smile I always wanted. To anyone thinking of going ahead with any work at Manor House Dental you should 100% go for it! I went to a few different dentists before deciding to go with Manor house Dental and that decision was made so easily by how welcoming and friendly all the staff are from the early consultation and throughout the whole experience. It really made the whole experience comforting rather than nerve-wracking! The reception team also deserves a mention. I often dealt with Venessa at the desk and

A big thank you to Matthew and his team for their excellent work over my two recent appointments. Even after an hour and a half of work for my last visit, I left pain free and able to go about my day with no discomfort. Can highly recommend, and felt completely at ease during my appointments, even in these difficult Covid times.

Very helpful, friendly and patient. I've learnt more about my teeth in two appointments than I've ever know. Discussed clearly with pictures of my teeth, a plan to bring my teeth to tip top condition. This is very nearly complete and has been exactly how Mathew and his team have said it would be. First class.

I am more than happy with the experience I had at Manor House Dental. I was only in York, my hometown, for a limited amount of time and they went above and beyond and moved schedules around so I was able to get the treatment I needed before I left. I was also very pleased about the provision they make for students with discounted treatment prices. The staff are lovely, personable and reflect really well on the quality of service and treatment. Matthew was exceptional and managed to get my treatment done and extra in just an hour, both him and his assistant were efficient and professional and gave
