Services
Dental Implants
Dental implants provide permanent solutions for missing teeth using titanium posts fused with the jawbone. Our practice offers single-tooth implants, implant-supported bridges, and full-arch restorations. Patients benefit from improved chewing function, natural aesthetics, and long-term oral health preservation.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Our cosmetic services include veneers, bonding, and smile makeovers tailored to individual facial aesthetics. We combine functional harmony with visual appeal using tooth-coloured materials and digital planning tools. Patients achieve confidence through natural-looking transformations addressing discolouration, misalignment, or damaged teeth.
Emergency Care
Same-day emergency appointments address acute issues like toothaches, fractures, or infections. Our team prioritises immediate pain relief and stabilisation without call centres. Patients receive direct access to their regular dentist for continuity of care during critical situations.
Teeth Whitening
Professional Enlighten whitening systems deliver lasting results for stained or discoloured teeth. Customised at-home trays and in-office treatments safely lighten enamel while minimising sensitivity. Patients enjoy enhanced confidence with smiles tailored to their natural tooth structure.
Children's Dentistry
Specialised care for young patients focuses on preventive education and anxiety-free experiences. Services include fissure sealants, trauma management, and parental guidance on oral hygiene. Our team builds trust through playful environments and age-appropriate communication techniques.

Absolutely fantastic
I can't recommend or thank Tim Earle and his team enough.
Having had an unstable jaw for over 20 years which caused pain and embarrassment when it locked open or shut. Not to mention the amount of money I have spent having chiropractic adjustments to help realigned it.
Tim refilled 3 back teeth which realigned my bite and stabilised my jaw
. I can now eat anything I like and am totally pain free

I have had dental work and hygienist check ups at The Lodge Dental Practice for a couple of years. The practice staff are welcoming, helpful and curteous. Tim is friendly and professional. In my experience he combines the best way of fixing a problem with the most cost effective costing. Dentistry today is expensive but I always feel I get treated well and get the best value for money.

My family and I have been with Tim since he took over the practice many years ago. In all honesty it has always felt more like popping to visit a friend, rather than a dreaded dental appointment!
Tim is obviously very skilled at what he does and I wouldn't trust anyone else to care for my families teeth, and that shows in his work, he has a knack of putting you at ease, making you feel both safe and confident in his presence. In Tim's modern practice it is evident that he keeps up to date with current technology and procedures. All in all, you cannot put a price on a reliable, trustworthy dentist

I have recently completed some extensive dental work at this practice. Tim has totally cured me of my initial dental phobia with his calm manner and gentle and professional approach. I quickly put my faith in him as a brilliant dentist and was not disappointed. I am totally thrilled with the quality of work carried out and all without any pain. I would not hesitate to recommend him to friends and family.
