Dental Examinations
Our comprehensive dental examinations include oral health assessments and X-rays to detect early signs of decay or disease. We provide detailed treatment plans tailored to individual needs, ensuring preventative care remains a priority. Patients receive expert advice on maintaining optimal oral hygiene between visits.
Teeth Whitening
We offer professional teeth whitening treatments to brighten smiles safely. The process begins with a consultation to assess suitability, followed by customised upper and lower tray applications. Our methods ensure even results while minimising sensitivity risks for long-lasting effects.
Crowns
Dental crowns restore damaged or weakened teeth using durable materials like porcelain-bonded metal. We create precise fittings to match natural tooth colour and shape, ensuring both functional restoration and aesthetic improvement for long-term oral health.
Oral Surgery
Our oral surgery services include tooth extractions and minor procedures performed with local anaesthesia. We prioritise patient comfort through gentle techniques and post-operative care instructions, ensuring smooth recovery while maintaining dental health standards.
General Dental Care
We provide preventative and restorative treatments including fillings, hygiene advice, and gum disease management. Our approach focuses on long-term oral health maintenance through regular check-ups, early intervention, and patient education tailored to individual lifestyles.

Report
Called to make an appointment, and was told that I had 2 failed to attend dental appointments.
1 of which was cancelled due to a global pandemic. 2nd appointment I never made.
Was advised by the extremely helpful lady who answered the phone that I could email surgery manager, but recent experiences with surgery management is that the email probably isn't even read never have I ever heard anything back.

I have been a paying customer for around 6 years, a nurse who served through Covid I had a breakdown and am now medically retiredby the NHS. ON MY LAST VISIT I OFFERED PROOF OF BENIFITS. I was told by the practice manager I did not need to show proof,however a very rude receptionist wanted to see proof on 18th I explained I did not have any at which point she asked Why in a hostile manner this upset me a lot as she was very argumentative and I responded poorly for which I whole hearted apologised. I was not abusive I did not raise my voice but today I found our I have been struck off. Do not

Absolutely amazing. I am an extremely nervous patient and recently had to have a difficult extraction done. I can't praise Betty and her nurse enough. Both of them so kind and understanding. Reception staff very helpful.

Had to go back 6 times to have a simple procedure, and then had the cheek to charge me again. I've now had to pay to have this done privately as the practice will not respond to my emails. A shame, this used to be a great practice but so many staff changes. Also very unhelpful woman at the front desk.
