Services
Dental Implants
Dental implants provide permanent solutions for missing teeth through titanium posts fused with jawbone. Our practice offers single and multiple implant placements with crowns, bridges, or dentures. Patients benefit from restored chewing function, natural appearance, and long-term oral health improvements through this advanced restorative treatment.
Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening addresses discolouration from stains, trauma, or medication. We provide custom tray systems and in-practice treatments using safe bleaching agents. This non-invasive procedure enhances smiles by lightening tooth enamel while maintaining dental integrity and patient comfort during the transformation process.
Crowns
Crowns restore damaged or weakened teeth with custom-fitted porcelain or metal-free restorations. Our practice creates colour-matched crowns to repair fractures, protect root-treated teeth, and improve aesthetics. These durable solutions preserve tooth structure while enhancing strength and appearance for long-lasting functional benefits.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Our cosmetic services include veneers, bonding, and smile makeovers combining multiple treatments. We address gaps, misshapen teeth, and discolouration through tailored plans. Patients achieve confidence-boosting transformations while maintaining natural tooth function and oral health through comprehensive aesthetic dental solutions.
Emergency Care
We prioritise same-day treatment for dental emergencies including trauma, infections, and severe pain. Our team handles extractions, root canal therapy, and temporary restorations to alleviate discomfort. Emergency patients receive immediate attention with follow-up care plans ensuring continued oral health stability and recovery.

I have just completed the process of having a tooth implant at St Paul's. Given the complexity of the procedure, I can't believe how natural the new tooth felt after a matter of hours. I have been impressed by how Mr Tomes and the team have gone the extra mile for their patients through a challenging year; the protocols for attending appointments have been reassuring and the appointments themselves have been efficient without ever feeling rushed, with clear explanations and expectations set at each step. The technical skill shown by Mr Tomes and his dental assistants is incredible and whilst it

Well what can I say it was outstanding. I called and spoke to the receptionist who was very polite and professional and made me feel at ease instantly. Upon arriving for my appointment with Dr Nick Tomes and His nurse Ellen I can honestly say I have never had the greeting I had from Nick. He immediately welcomed me to the practice and really felt like he meant it and wanted me there with him. During my whole appointment he constantly he explained what he was doing and it was never awkward he was the most personal and genuine dentist I have ever come across. I can not recommend this practice

So pleased with the excellent care and treatment I received. Would definitely recommend St Paul's Dental Practice. All the staff were wonderful. I am not even a regular patient, but knowing it was an emergency situation, when I called late in the afternoon, they were able to book me in for first thing the following morning. The Dentist took time and care to explain everything to me, and did a great job removing my tooth. Couldn't fault them. How all dentists should be! We will be definitely be moving to them for our dental care.

I became a patient of Nick Tomes at St Pauls Dental Practice in 2004 when we moved to Devon . The care received has been 1st rate on all levels from the dental work to making you feel at ease. I recently elected to have fairly extensive dental implant work done. I was a little apprehensive, but I needn't of worried as the treatment went smooth from beginning to end. Many Thanks to Nick & Team
