Services
Dental Implants
Replacing missing teeth with durable titanium implants that fuse with jawbone tissue. Our specialists use advanced imaging technology for precise placement, restoring both function and aesthetics. Patients benefit from improved chewing ability and natural-looking results that can last decades with proper care.
Teeth Whitening
Professional home whitening kits using Dental White Beauty products under dental supervision. Custom trays ensure even application while protecting gum tissue. Most patients achieve 6-8 shade improvements through our structured treatment programmes with follow-up maintenance options available.
Composite Bonding
Repairing chipped, cracked or discoloured teeth using tooth-coloured resin material. Our dentists skillfully match shades and layer materials for seamless results. This minimally invasive procedure preserves natural tooth structure while addressing both cosmetic and structural concerns in single appointments.
Gum Care
Comprehensive management of gum disease through deep cleaning procedures and ongoing maintenance. We employ gentle techniques to remove calculus deposits below the gumline, helping prevent tooth loss and systemic health complications associated with poor oral health.
Dentures
Custom-fabricated removable prosthetics including Valplast flexible dentures for improved comfort and aesthetics. Our dentists ensure optimal fit through multiple try-in stages, creating natural-looking replacements that restore chewing function and facial appearance for patients missing multiple teeth.

Wonderful Dental Practice. Very friendly staff starting from the receptionist. My partner has been a client for years and the practice has been fantastic when he has had problems or emergencies. The money spent in both our plans is totally worth it. I would recommend this practice to anyone.

Have followed Gavin from two other dental practices to Cheriton DP. He is very professional caring and he makes you feel very relaxed when having treatment. He is very understanding and patient with our daughter who loves to come to dental appointments as many years ago she had a horrible experience at a D. P. Our other daughters with their children see Gavin as well. Many many thanks to Gavin and his nurses for taking care of our teeth over many years. Gavin your are one in a million. The hygienists are professional and informative.

Efficient, reassuring and relaxed visit as usual. I am always treated as a person and not a patient in the chair.

I have been coming to Dr Robin Hughes at Cheriton Dental Practice for about 23 years. Throughout that time I feel I have had the absolute best treatment possible. I have had numerous occasions when I needed an appointment fairly quickly due to a filling coming out or something has happened and there has never been a problem to be seen. I even had toothache one weekend and Dr Hughes turned up at the surgery on the Saturday morning to sort out the problem. Only this week I had to see him unexpectedly as a filling had come out. I was quite amazed as to how quickly I was able to be seen and to get
