Services
Dental Implants
Our implantology service provides permanent tooth replacement solutions using titanium posts integrated into the jawbone. Led by specialist Richard Brookshaw with over 5,000 implants placed, we offer comprehensive consultations and treatment planning. The process involves surgical placement followed by crown restoration, with detailed patient education at each stage to ensure optimal outcomes.
Invisalign
This modern orthodontic treatment uses custom-made clear aligners to straighten teeth discreetly. Our experienced team provides complete treatment planning and progress monitoring throughout the teeth-straightening journey. Regular check-ups ensure proper alignment while maintaining patient comfort and aesthetic preferences during the corrective process.
Crowns and Veneers
We offer porcelain crowns and veneers to restore damaged teeth and enhance smiles cosmetically. This service addresses structural damage while improving aesthetics through natural-looking restorations. Our dentists ensure proper preparation and fitting to maintain both functionality and appearance for long-term satisfaction.
Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening treatments safely lighten natural tooth shade under dental supervision. We provide customised bleaching trays and monitor progress to achieve desired results while minimising sensitivity. The process includes aftercare advice to maintain whitening effects through proper oral hygiene practices.
Hygienist
Our hygienists provide professional cleaning and oral health education to prevent dental disease. This includes plaque removal, gum disease prevention, and personalised home care advice. Regular hygiene visits help maintain treatment results while identifying potential issues at early stages for timely intervention.

My wife and I followed Simon from the Whitehaven practice to Keswick and have never regretted the 100 mile round trip we now have to make. We thought then ,as we think now, that his skills, bedside manner,and staff, are second to none. Treatment is always a pleasant experience. The treatment I have just received for a root canal filling has been an eye opener. 100% floating on a cloud from start to finish. I'm glad I took Simon's suggested treatment route rather than have the extraction alternative. Excellent care throughout.
