Services
Dental Implants
Dental implants are titanium rods surgically placed into the jawbone to support false teeth. This solution offers permanent tooth replacement that functions like natural teeth. Our dentists use advanced techniques to ensure proper integration with the bone, providing long-term stability and preventing adjacent teeth movement. Patients benefit from improved chewing ability and speech clarity.
Braces and Aligners
We offer fixed braces and clear aligners to straighten teeth and correct bite issues. Treatment improves dental aesthetics while enhancing oral health by reducing tooth wear risks. Our principal dentist provides simple orthodontic cases, with complex treatments referred to local specialists. Both options help achieve proper tooth alignment for better function and appearance.
Composite Bonding
This procedure uses tooth-coloured resin to repair chipped, discoloured, or misshapen teeth. The minimally invasive treatment reshapes teeth in a single visit, offering immediate aesthetic improvement. While less durable than veneers, bonding provides a cost-effective solution for minor dental imperfections with natural-looking results that match existing tooth colour.
Teeth Whitening
Professional tooth whitening systems effectively lighten natural teeth under dental supervision. We offer home trays and in-surgery treatments using peroxide-based solutions. The process removes stains from food, drinks, and age-related discolouration while maintaining tooth structure integrity. Results typically last several months with proper aftercare.
Dentures
Custom-made removable prosthetics replace missing teeth to restore function and appearance. Complete dentures replace full arches while partials fill gaps between natural teeth. Our experienced dentists ensure proper fit through multiple fittings, with options for immediate dentures following extractions. Regular adjustments maintain comfort as jawbone structure changes over time.

I have had a crown fitted by Raff, at first I was a little nervous to have my old filling removed, but I had no need to at all as I found Raff very gentle and understanding, I cannot thank him enough. It feels as though the crown has been here all the time just like my own teeth. I'm now waiting to have another crown fitted and I certainly won't be nervous about it. Thank you so much Raff.

Impossible to get emergency appointments. Routine checkups are fine but when you really need an appointment you have to wait until they close so you're entitled to an emergency appoinment elsewhere. Not ideal.

I cannot recommend this dental practice enough. I've moved away but always travel back to see Mr Lister and his team. From emergency wisdom tooth appointments to flexible check ups their service is nothing like I've experienced elsewhere.
