Services
Aesthetic Dentistry
Our aesthetic dentistry services restore both function and appearance of teeth through crowns, veneers, and tooth whitening. We specialise in creating natural-looking smiles while maintaining oral health. Treatments address cracked, stained, or missing teeth using state-of-the-art techniques that preserve existing tooth structure and enhance confidence through improved appearance.
Dentures
We provide custom-fitted partial and complete dentures to replace missing teeth. Our dentures improve eating, speech, and appearance while ensuring comfort. Patients receive comprehensive guidance on adaptation periods and maintenance. We use high-quality materials to create natural-looking replacements that restore full dental functionality.
Facial Rejuvenation
Our non-surgical facial rejuvenation treatments use botulinum toxin and dermal fillers to reduce wrinkles and restore youthful appearance. Treatments target forehead lines, crow's feet, and facial volume loss. We offer tailored consultations to create natural-looking results that enhance patients' appearance while maintaining facial expression.
Gum Disease Treatment
We specialise in diagnosing and managing periodontal disease through scaling, root planing, and patient education. Our approach focuses on preventing tooth loss by controlling bacterial infections. We provide ongoing maintenance plans and educate patients on effective home care techniques to manage this chronic condition.
Dental Implants
Our dental implant solutions offer permanent tooth replacement options that look and function like natural teeth. We use titanium implants to replace single or multiple missing teeth, providing stability without affecting adjacent teeth. The treatment includes comprehensive planning and long-term maintenance support.

Great Dentist. I have been going to this practice since I was a child. I used to have Mr Sherwood when it was a NHS dentist but now have Mr Minnie as a private customer. I have no complaints. Mr Minnie is great and has been great in keeping my nashers well looked after. Lovely friendly staff. I wouldn't go anywhere else.

Used to be a very good dentist, but since my 'usual' dentist left it has gone very downhill. At one time my children were in the seat for about 30 seconds!! Lack of care and interest hence I am now with another practice! I would rather pay private than waste my time.

I have always found the dentists and staff at Alvington House helpful, very good for the children on the NHS - and also am having Six Month Smile treatment - the staff are kind and informative. Will recommend to anyone looking for a dentist in the area.
