Services
Preventive Dentistry
Our preventive dentistry focuses on maintaining optimal oral health through regular check-ups, professional cleanings, and tailored hygiene advice. We use digital imaging and intra-oral cameras to detect early signs of decay or gum disease, enabling timely intervention. Patients receive customised oral care plans to prevent issues before they arise, ensuring long-term dental wellness.
Children's Dentistry
We specialise in creating positive dental experiences for children through interactive education and age-appropriate explanations. Our approach includes fun, engaging consultations using ceiling-mounted screens to demonstrate procedures, fostering trust and understanding. Early visits establish lifelong oral hygiene habits while addressing common childhood dental concerns in a supportive environment.
Root Canal Treatment
Our root canal treatments address infected or damaged tooth pulp using advanced techniques and precision instruments. We prioritise patient comfort throughout the procedure, employing local anaesthesia and clear communication. Post-treatment care instructions ensure proper healing, preserving natural teeth and preventing extraction.
Facial Aesthetics
We offer dermal fillers and muscle-relaxing injections to enhance facial appearance while maintaining natural expressions. Treatments are administered by trained professionals following thorough consultation to address individual aesthetic goals safely and effectively, complementing our dental services.
Emergency Appointments
Urgent dental issues receive priority scheduling during practice hours, with out-of-hours cover available for registered patients. We address severe pain, bleeding, or swelling promptly, providing immediate relief and stabilisation before arranging follow-up care as needed.

I've had some wonderful high quality treatment by Dr Alex Macras at Wansford Smile Dental Practice and I could not have found anywhere better. I've experienced no discomfort at all during any of the procedures and all the staff are great so it's a big 5 stars from me.

After my 3rd visit Im sad to say I shall not be returning. They charged full price for a hygienist (which they dont have to begin with) appointment curtailed to a cursory observation due to virus considerations. No prior explanation or fee reduction. Pleasant staff gets them one extra star.

Excellent friendly and professional service,The team seemed to be very helpful as i'm not the best patient in the world... For saying that they are a village practice they are right up to date with all the latest tech... Over the years I have been to quite a few different Dental Practices in and around Peterborough and would definitely rate this as the best Dental Surgery in the area... Good parking to as shares the main Wansford Surgery car park... Well done...
