Services
Dental Implants
Dental implants permanently replace missing teeth using titanium posts that fuse with jawbone tissue. Our implant specialist has placed several hundred implants since 2004, offering both single-tooth replacements and denture stabilisation. The procedure uses local anaesthesia and typically requires multiple visits for optimal healing and integration.
Invisalign
Invisalign treatment uses clear plastic aligners to gradually straighten teeth without traditional braces. This orthodontic solution addresses crowding, spacing, and bite issues for both adults and teenagers. Treatment plans include regular check-ups and aligner replacements every two weeks to ensure proper tooth movement.
Children's Dentistry
Our dental team specialises in treating children from their first teeth through adolescence. Services include preventive care, fluoride applications, and early orthodontic assessments. We focus on creating positive dental experiences through gentle techniques and educational toothbrushing demonstrations tailored to different age groups.
Emergency Care
Emergency dental services address sudden tooth pain, trauma, or infections outside regular appointments. Registered patients receive priority same-day access to clinical assessments and pain management. Our emergency protocol includes triage, urgent treatment when necessary, and follow-up care planning.
Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening treatments use hydrogen peroxide gel activated by LED light to remove surface stains. The procedure typically requires two sessions with touch-up kits provided for maintenance. Results vary depending on initial tooth condition and lifestyle factors like diet and smoking.

A wisdom tooth fractured late Thursday afternoon. Appointment with Mr Ismail the next day.
Offending tooth removed. No pain, issues or problems. Truly outstanding service. Have used Noah's Ark practice for many years and will continue to do so. All the staff are professional, friendly and put even the most nervous patient at complete ease.

Was sent to Noah's Ark for an emergency extraction. Having had a fear of dentists, which lead to not going to one in over 20 years, I'm not sure what the fuss was about. I had Charles doing the extraction and he put me at ease straight away. I hardly felt the injections and never felt anything after that!! (Not sure I'd feel the same once the drill noises start mind!!) Would highly recommend Noah's Ark to anybody. Hoping now that they will be the ones I get when I finally make it off the NHS waiting list!!!

The reception staff and clinicians are professional, kind and good humoured. The downstairs and upstairs reception areas were spotless as was the treatment room I was in. Like many, I am somewhat taken aback by the cost of dental treatment nowadays but it is what it is and first impressions (no pun intended) would strongly indicate this is a happy, well run and an extremely efficient practice.
