Services
Dental Implants
Dental implants provide permanent tooth replacement solutions using titanium posts integrated into the jawbone. Our specialists use Nobel Biocare systems and advanced digital planning to create natural-looking restorations that maintain bite function and facial structure. Treatments range from single tooth replacements to full arch stabilisation, with costs starting at 3,000 for standard procedures.
Invisalign GO
This discreet orthodontic treatment uses custom-made clear aligners to straighten teeth without traditional braces. The system offers removable, nearly invisible trays that gradually reposition teeth through sequential changes. Treatment starts from 2,000, with average treatment durations of 6-18 months depending on case complexity.
Hygienist Services
Our hygienists provide comprehensive periodontal care including tartar removal, stain reduction, and preventive education. They specialise in implant maintenance and managing complex gum conditions, working closely with dentists to address advanced periodontal disease. Regular hygiene appointments are included in implant treatment packages.
Anti-wrinkle treatment
Administered by Harley Street-trained dentist Dr. Helen Reddington, this facial aesthetic treatment reduces wrinkles through targeted muscle relaxation. Using premium botulinum toxin formulations, sessions start at 200 for up to three treatment areas, with effects lasting 12-16 weeks.
Denplan
Our Denplan membership schemes offer structured dental care payments with benefits including routine check-ups, emergency coverage, and treatment discounts. Plans range from basic membership at 7.28/month to comprehensive care plans priced between 38.42-79.19/month based on treatment needs.

Firstly let me say I hate dentists with a passion but I had to go. I saw a dentist called Andy and he was superb, put me at ease, talked me through everything and a constant stream of witty banter whilst working took my mind off what was happening. I can honestly said I didn't feel any pain. Special mention to his dental nurse Hannah who was very pleasant and had a great personality. Great work guys, I will be back in the New Year for the follow up work

Professionally run practice with highly skilled Dentists, Hygienists & Nurses offering up to date dental procedures, including implants, in very clean surroundings. I have always been a bit scared of the dentist, but here you feel relaxed. All treatment options are clearly explained and my teeth are looking the best they have in a long time. Highly recommended!
