Services
General Dentistry
Our general dentistry services address common issues like tooth decay, gum disease, and infections through fillings, root canal therapy, and extractions. We prioritise minimally invasive techniques using durable, tooth-coloured materials for restorations. Regular check-ups and hygiene sessions help maintain long-term oral health, with emergency slots available daily for urgent cases.
Cosmetic Treatments
Enhance your smile with teeth whitening, veneers, crowns, and Invisalign clear aligners. Our cosmetic services combine aesthetic precision with functional benefits, using modern materials to improve appearance while maintaining dental health. Treatments are tailored to individual needs for natural-looking results.
Children's Dentistry
We provide child-friendly dental care focusing on prevention through regular check-ups, oral health education, and trauma insurance via Denplan for Children. Early intervention and positive experiences help build lifelong oral hygiene habits in a supportive environment designed to make children feel comfortable.
Emergency Care
Dental emergencies are managed with same-day appointments for pain relief and acute issues. Our team handles extractions, broken teeth, and infections promptly, using modern anaesthesia techniques to ensure comfort. Non-regular patients are accommodated when possible.
Preventive Care
Preventive services include hygiene sessions, oral cancer screenings, and tailored advice to reduce decay and gum disease risks. Our hygienists use advanced tools for early disease detection, while custom gumshields protect against sports-related trauma. Regular maintenance plans help sustain optimal oral health.

Been with Coleman & Starkey for over a year now. Had a few bad experiences at other dentists locally but my whole experience with the team here has been absolutely fantastic. Really great customer service by reception staff, appointments were quick considering the pandemic & the dentist was really superb and put my mind at ease. Would highly recommend!
