Services
Cosmetic Dentistry
Our cosmetic dentistry services transform smiles through teeth whitening, veneers, and smile makeovers. We use state-of-the-art techniques to address discolouration, misalignment, and other aesthetic concerns. Patients benefit from improved confidence and natural-looking results that enhance facial appearance while maintaining dental health.
Dental Implants
We provide permanent tooth replacement solutions using dental implants. This service includes implant placement, restoration, and aftercare. Patients receive durable, natural-feeling replacements that restore chewing function and prevent bone loss, with options for single or multiple missing teeth.
Invisalign
Our Invisalign treatment straightens teeth discreetly using removable clear aligners. Certified dentists create custom treatment plans for adults and teens. This service offers comfort, convenience, and aesthetic benefits compared to traditional braces, with regular progress monitoring.
Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening services remove stains and brighten smiles using safe, effective bleaching techniques. We offer customised treatment plans for smokers and those with discoloured teeth, achieving noticeable results in sessions tailored to individual sensitivity levels.
Gum Disease Treatment
Our gum disease treatment focuses on managing and reversing periodontal issues. Hygienists provide deep cleaning, education on brushing techniques, and ongoing maintenance. Patients receive personalised care plans to prevent tooth loss and improve overall oral health through non-surgical interventions.

It has been years since I visited a Dental surgery as I am an extremely nervous patient. I had my new patient assessment today and I was amazed at how welcoming, warm and calming everyone was. After my full MOT (which I failed in case you were wondering... years of neglect...my own fault tbh) I was talked through a full treatment plan that was reasonably priced and worth every penny. To Emma, Jessie and the lovely ladies on the reception desk: Thank you for making me feel at ease and welcome. Note to readers who are nervous like me: If you are looking for a knowledgable, caring, calming, friendly

I have been with this dental practice all my life (56 years!). Pierce is excellent and so was his father, David, before him.

I've been with this practice ever since moving to Kidderminster apart from a brief change to a different dentist. I changed to another dentist as I didn't realise Bradley Shorthouse took NHS work so I went to this other dentist. I had to move back to Bradley Shorthouse to put right what the other dentist had done. Wonderful caring practice, I can't praise them highly enough.

Recently joined this practice after 12 months of tooth pain. Booking was easy and all the team there are great at putting you at ease. Emma did an excellent job of explaining all the procedures and i am glad to say that I am now pain free

I've been with this practice for many years and have always found the staff, Receptionists, Hygienists and Dentists, to be very professional and caring! I moved from Kidderminster 7 years ago and have other dental practices much nearer to me me but I prefer to travel to Bradley Shorthouse Practice for check ups and treatment. Highly recommended.
