Services
Dental Implants
We provide permanent tooth replacement solutions using titanium implants that fuse with your jawbone. Our 3D imaging technology ensures precise placement for natural-looking results. Patients regain full chewing functionality and aesthetic confidence with our lifetime-warranty implants, performed by GDC-registered specialists using guided surgical techniques.
Invisalign
Our invisible aligner system straightens teeth without traditional metal braces. Custom-made trays gradually reposition teeth over 6-18 months. The removable design allows normal eating habits while achieving cosmetic improvements for both adults and teenagers seeking discreet orthodontic solutions.
Smile Makeovers
Comprehensive smile redesign combines multiple treatments like veneers, whitening, and bonding. Our dentists create harmonious facial aesthetics through digital smile design planning. Patients receive customised treatment roadmaps addressing colour, shape, and alignment issues for complete confidence restoration.
Sedation Dentistry
We offer intravenous sedation for patients with dental phobias or complex treatment needs. Our sedation-certified dentists ensure safe, memory-free procedures while maintaining vital reflexes. This service enables completion of extensive work in fewer visits without anxiety-related stress.
Emergency Care
Same-day appointments address dental trauma, infections, and severe pain. Our emergency protocol includes immediate pain management and diagnostic imaging. From broken teeth to abscesses, we provide prompt solutions to relieve discomfort and prevent complications requiring hospital intervention.

I have just finished my invisalign lite treatment with dentistry number 3 and I am so happy with my results. They have an exceptional team of staff who really care about you. Leigh, the smile expert gives you all the info you need at the beginning and how much costing will be and what is right for you. Leigh also can communicate via WhatsApp which I loved as it was much easier for me! During my treatment I had to have wisdom teeth removed, which I can honestly say was as pain free tooth removal can be! (Thanks to Niall) I even got a call from the staff through out the week to ask how I was feeling

I have been a nervous patient for many years following a bad experience with a hygienist previously. I cannot recommend Dentistry@no3 highly enough! I no longer dread my quarterly checks and no more death gripping of the arms of the chair!

Definitely recommend dentistry at no3, amazing service from start to finish. I had high speed braces and a course of whitening treatment from Ali and I have the perfect smile in just 6 months! I am so happy with the outcome. Ali is very professional and I cant thank him enough. Everyone in the team has been so kind, helpful and reassuring. Thankyou so much to you all for the fantastic experience!

I can't recommend Denistry @ No 3 enough. The whole process, from start to finish was very smooth, slick and professional. The staff are excellent and very friendly. A special thanks to Ali who is incredible at what he does, extremely gentle, takes great care, has great knowledge and makes you feel at ease from the very beginning. Delighted with the results! Having never used Dentistry @ No3 before, I wouldn't go anywhere else now

I've been to dentists over the years and although they have been ok , I wasn't really particularly impressed or indeed selective about one dentist or another ... That is until I started as a patient at Dentistry @ No 3 , courteous , polite , they listen to what you actually want , even as bespoke as it might be nothing is too much of a problem to them. Liam is really calming and explains the process.
Pain free too , I have very sensitive areas in my mouth and I can't stand pain . This is the only dental practice where , whilst I was having fillings done etc and must have been on the chair for almost

The experience and care I received from Rebecca and the team at No 3 has been first class from start to finish. My treatment and finished results far exceeded my expectations. Everything about my treatment plan was carried out with such attention to detail and professionalism. I am absolutely delighted with my new smile. Thank you so much !
