Services
Dental Implants
Dental implants provide permanent solutions for missing teeth through titanium post integration. Our specialists perform All-on-4 treatments and implant-supported dentures using digital planning technology. Patients benefit from restored chewing function and natural aesthetics while preventing bone loss. Our team ensures comprehensive aftercare for long-term success.
Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening treatments address discolouration from age, diet, or medication. We offer custom tray systems and in-practice treatments for safe, effective results. The process includes enamel protection measures and lasts significantly longer than over-the-counter alternatives. Patients achieve brighter smiles with minimal sensitivity.
Invisalign
Invisalign provides discreet orthodontic treatment using removable clear aligners. Our certified dentists create personalised treatment plans for straightening teeth and correcting bites. The system allows easier oral hygiene maintenance compared to traditional braces, with treatment durations typically ranging from 6-18 months depending on complexity.
Emergency Care
Emergency dental services address sudden tooth pain, trauma, or broken restorations. We prioritise same-day appointments for registered patients, providing immediate pain relief and stabilisation. Treatments include temporary fillings, antibiotics when necessary, and follow-up care planning to resolve underlying issues.
Children's Dentistry
Specialised dental care for children focuses on preventive treatments and positive early experiences. Services include fissure sealants, fluoride applications, and trauma management. Our team employs child-friendly communication techniques to establish lifelong oral hygiene habits in a welcoming environment.

I am changing my review because after a few problems. The dentist got back to me (on a bank holiday) with advice on further care and offered remote treatment during the holidays. I feel he went the extra mile with this and though it did not instantly solve my problems, I could see the light at the end of the tunnel.

I've been with them since my old dentist retired some years ago. Fantastic practice. I cannot recommend Newkirkgate Dental Care highly enough.

Light in the tunnel! I have been left in darkness about procedures that will be taken to fix my problem. Honestly, after first visit I was in panic for all week. Dentist seemed to be quite disappointed that I was entitled and choose to do free fixing. He ignored me, didn't explain anything he was doing even after I asked. I was told there is no such a thing private and nhs mix. I was left with no option. Though I checked and it seems that it was possible. Second visit was very painful. Again, dentist didn't wanted to use injection to ease my pain till the last bite,until I started to cry. He
