Services
Dental Implants
Dental implants provide permanent solutions for missing teeth, restoring both function and aesthetics. Our team utilises advanced techniques to ensure secure, natural-looking results. Patients benefit from improved chewing ability, enhanced smile confidence, and long-term oral health stability through tailored implant treatment plans.
Invisalign
Invisalign offers discreet orthodontic treatment using clear aligners to gradually straighten teeth. This solution addresses misalignment issues while maintaining aesthetic appeal. Patients enjoy removable trays, reduced treatment time compared to traditional braces, and a customised approach to achieving optimal dental alignment.
Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening treatments effectively remove stains and brighten smiles using safe, clinically tested methods. Customised bleaching solutions target discolouration while minimising sensitivity. Patients achieve noticeable results in a single session or through at-home maintenance kits supervised by our dental experts.
Emergency Dentistry
Same-day emergency appointments address acute dental pain, trauma, or infections requiring immediate attention. Our team provides rapid diagnosis and treatment for broken teeth, abscesses, or severe sensitivity. Swift intervention prevents complications while prioritising patient comfort through gentle, efficient care.
General Check-ups
Routine dental examinations detect early signs of decay, gum disease, or oral health issues before they escalate. Comprehensive assessments include X-rays, oral cancer screenings, and hygiene advice. Regular visits enable proactive maintenance of dental health, reducing long-term treatment requirements.

Report
Absolutely ridiculous service. NHS 111 told me to call this practice as they have sent a referral due to me being in agony with a tooth that needs extracting as soon as possible. This dentist surgery took ages to answer their phone and when they finally did answer they were very rude and told me that they dont take referrals so they dont know why 111 told me that and that they arent taking new patients so they can't see me as an emergency. I spoke to 111 again who told me that what the woman on the phone told me was untrue and that they do take referals!

111 gave me this dentist number as I was suffering really bad with toothache. My own dentist told me I do not fit the Criteria to have antibiotics as I don't show having an infection. I rang this practice and they couldn't help me enough. I just want to say Thank YOU SO MUCH. Xx

Every time I visit Amber Valley dental practice in Swanwick, i'm either having to sit around waiting over 30 minutes past my appointment time (without an apology) or spoken to like dirt by either the receptionist or the dental nurse. If you have a bad phobia of dentists, I advise you to avoid going with Ruth Dodge, as shes extremely rude and doesn't put you at ease whatsoever - instead pokes around your mouth with very little respect, I'm in more pain now than I was before I went in there! If you have to go back for treatment the wait time is anything from 3 months, which is absolutely shocking

Visited this dentist today for a check up. I am very anxious when it comes to dentist. I felt really at ease from the moment I walked in, the Receptionist was lovely. My dentist (Jamal I think his mane was) was very informative with regards my care and put me at ease. I would recommend this dental practice. Thank you to all at Amber Valley Dental Practice :-)

Visited this practice first in 2010 and I was quite indifferent with the service but having said that, the past couple of years I cannot fault the level of service I have received. Lovely people working there, been in pain a couple of times and they have always seen me on the same day!!!! Would recommend to others if you are looking for a good practice, choose this one.
