Services
Routine Dentistry
Regular dental examinations help maintain oral health through early detection of potential issues. Our dentists provide comprehensive assessments, professional cleaning advice, and tailored treatment plans. Patients receive clear guidance on maintaining optimal dental hygiene between visits.
Hygiene Appointments
Professional teeth cleaning sessions focus on preventing gum disease through thorough plaque removal and oral health education. Our hygienists offer personalised advice on brushing techniques, flossing, and dietary habits to maintain healthy gums.
Root Canal
Specialised treatment for infected or damaged tooth pulp preserves natural teeth through precise cleaning and sealing of root canals. This procedure alleviates pain while maintaining dental functionality and preventing extraction.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Aesthetic dental solutions including veneers, bonding, and whitening enhance smile appearance. These treatments address discolouration, chips, and alignment irregularities using modern materials for natural-looking results.
Dental Implants
Permanent tooth replacement solutions using titanium posts fused with jawbone provide stable support for crowns or dentures. This treatment restores chewing function and facial structure while preventing bone loss.

I had a molar that suddenly played up and after reducing the bite ("no charge because it might not work") to no avail it blew up over a weekend. First time I have used the emergency service. Wow, if only the NHS gave this sort of service ! Mr Patel seemed genuinely keen to help and quickly too. When you are in severe pain that counts! Up front with the call out charge of 180. Well for two people (dentist plus nurse) and a whole Sunday morning gone at short notice I would want at least that. The price list shows a charge for extraction of from 155 so I could not expect that the extra cost for

Visited today along with my little boy for a new patient consultation. I had x rays, a thorough check up and a good explanation of what was going on with my teeth. We saw Shahil who was amazing with my little boy. I felt very relaxed and I usually hate going to the dentist after some really bad experiences. Lovely professional team. We were greeted at the door and our temperatures were checked. I felt very safe in terms of covid. Next appt booked already.

I have just had a white filling repaired which took 15 minutes to carry out. I went to pay and expected a charge of about 60 which is similar to my usual private dental charges at Bristol. I was horrified to be charged 155! This is agrossly excessive charge for a straight forward filing. My strong advice is to aways check their pricing before any procedure is carried out .

Painswick House is one of the best dental practices in Cheltenham. Its a thriving group of like minded dentists, managed well. And a big thank you should go first to the receptionists who play such an important role front of house, both on the desk and on the phones. Theyre always speedy and courteous and - importantly - warm and friendly. Ive been going to my dentist at Painswick House, Lesley Price for decades - because shes brilliant. She is unfailingly kind and gentle as well as highly responsible whether she is dealing with pressing, urgent care or discussing longer term issues

I recently had a filling and a crown done by Dr Price. She and the hygienist I then saw were very thorough. I hate going to the dentist and this was the best experience I've ever had! I've not had any tooth pain or issues since. Definitely recommend!

I have been extremely impressed and grateful for the service I have received at Painswick House. I have had several issues over the past 18 months and have received nothing but kindness, patience and expertise second to none. Lesley Price is an absolute superstar; professional, caring, funny (always puts me at ease) and very talented. I moved 2 hours away and still made the trip to see her! Her team of dental nurses and the receptionists are fantastic and friendly too. Going to the dentist has actually become a not too bad experience Thank you Lesley and the team at Painswick House.
