Services
Dental Implants
Our dental implant specialists provide permanent solutions for missing teeth. Using titanium posts anchored in the jawbone, we create stable foundations for crowns, bridges, or dentures. This treatment restores chewing function while preventing bone loss. Patients benefit from improved speech, comfort, and natural-looking aesthetics that enhance facial structure and confidence.
Invisalign
We offer discreet orthodontic treatment with Invisalign aligners. These custom-made, removable trays gradually straighten teeth without traditional metal braces. Ideal for adults and teens seeking aesthetic solutions, the system effectively corrects crowding, spacing, and bite issues while allowing normal eating and cleaning routines.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Our cosmetic treatments transform smiles through veneers, bonding, and whitening. Porcelain veneers address chips, stains, and shape irregularities while composite bonding offers cost-effective repairs. Professional whitening safely lightens natural teeth, helping patients achieve brighter, more youthful appearances that boost self-confidence and social interactions.
Periodontal Treatment
We specialise in managing gum disease through deep cleaning, pocket reduction, and regenerative procedures. Our periodontists address inflammation, bleeding, and bone loss to preserve tooth support structures. Early intervention prevents systemic health complications while restoring oral comfort and preventing tooth loss in advanced cases.
Restorative Dentistry
Our restorative services include crowns, bridges, and fillings that repair damaged teeth. Using durable ceramic materials, we restore function while maintaining natural aesthetics. These treatments address fractures, decay, and wear patterns, preserving tooth integrity and preventing more extensive interventions through timely restorations.

Having been recommended by my own dentist to see Andrew for a molar extraction and follow-up gum surgery and an implant, I was a little nervous about the whole process. However, I can say without hesitation that, from start to finish, the communication, the care to the end result has been exemplary. I would almost go so far as to say that the whole experience was pleasurable! Andrew and his team get a 'highly recommended' from me. Many thanks again.

After thirty years with the same dentist, I moved to Cheltenham and have been relieved to be recommended to such thorough and attentive Hygienists and Dentist. Everything step of treatment is carefully explained before being carried out and there is an obvious commitment to improving dental health.

Very efficient and courteous service. Hygienist gave very clear advice and instructions, and receptionist ably completed some forms for me.
