Services
Dental Implants
Dental implants provide permanent solutions for missing teeth using advanced technology. Our specialists create custom treatment plans to restore function and aesthetics naturally. Patients benefit from improved chewing ability, speech clarity, and confidence in their smile through this long-lasting option.
Orthodontics
We offer traditional braces and clear aligners for all ages, including Invisalign treatments. Our orthodontists correct misalignments to improve bite function and facial aesthetics. This service addresses crowding, spacing, and jaw positioning issues with tailored solutions for optimal oral health.
Facial Aesthetics
Non-surgical facial enhancements include Botox and dermal fillers to reduce signs of ageing. Our practitioners deliver natural-looking results that rejuvenate appearance while maintaining facial expressiveness. Treatments target wrinkles, volume loss, and skin texture concerns safely and effectively.
Emergency Treatment
We prioritise same-day appointments for dental emergencies like severe pain or trauma. Our team provides immediate relief for infections, broken teeth, and lost fillings. Out-of-hours emergencies are directed to NHS 111 for continuous patient support.
Dental Hygiene
Professional cleaning services remove plaque and prevent gum disease through scaling and polishing. Our hygienists educate patients on effective home care routines and offer preventive treatments like fluoride applications. Regular check-ups maintain optimal oral health and early issue detection.

If you are a special need patient and need assistance and help go else where as they would prefer these patients to pay private as they dropped my son after being a patient for 20 years as NHS will now only see as private

First time I've visited Essence. Nataliya was very helpful and explained everything in detail. Will be booking all future appointments at Essence.

I had my root canal treatment with Dr. Satvir, he and his lovely assistant made me feel so comfortable and welcoming, considering I was absolutely terrified! The treatment was 100% painless. I must admit that out of all my dentist experience, this was the best! The clinic is so clean and all COVID measures are in place. I'm highly recommended this clinic

I have been going to Essence Dental for many years now. I usually see Dr Atkar and he is an incredible dentist the staff are always so welcoming and helpful and will always do the upmost to get you seen on time and earlier if its an emergency. I have been to many dental practices before but I have never been to one as good as this one. They are so clean and really do take customer service to the next level and go that extra mile for you. They also make you feel at ease and Dr Atkar is brilliant at that if youre a nervous patient and the work is of such a high standard ! Thank you so much
