Services
Dental implants
Dental implants restore missing teeth functionality and facial aesthetics. Our specialists use the OSTEOCARE DENTAL IMPLANT SYSTEM for secure, long-lasting results. The treatment involves surgically placing titanium roots that fuse with jawbone tissue, supporting crowns or dentures while preserving bone structure.
Teeth whitening
Professional home whitening kits deliver safe, effective results using custom-fitted trays. This non-invasive treatment lightens teeth by 2-3 shades through peroxide-based gels, with dentists providing precise impressions and usage instructions for optimal, lasting effects.
Emergency dentistry
We prioritise same-day appointments for dental emergencies like severe pain or trauma. Our team diagnoses issues promptly, provides pain relief, and stabilises conditions to prevent complications, ensuring immediate care for existing and new patients.
Hygienist services
Regular scale and polish treatments remove tartar buildup to prevent gum disease. Our hygienists offer direct access appointments for preventative care, including fluoride applications and oral health education tailored to individual patient needs.
Nervous patient support
We specialise in treating dental phobias through compassionate communication and gradual desensitisation. Options include oral sedation for relaxed appointments and hospital referrals for general anaesthesia, ensuring all patients receive necessary care comfortably.

Report
Really want to appreciate this dental practice so much. We were on holiday in Bognor when my daughter developed a severe toothache.
Whilst all other dentists refused to see her for several reasons, Summerley took her in at short notice. The receptionist Mandie and the dentist Paul were so kind, understanding and helpful - and most importantly, my daughter's toothache was addressed perfectly and sorted, rescuing our holiday.
Cannot recommend them enough. Many thanks guys.

Ive been a patient at Summerley for almost 15 years. Despite moving home several times (further and further away from Felpham) I wouldnt dream of switching dentists. In fact Christo has restored my faith in the dental profession.
