About us
A small practice that takes its time.
Eighteen years of looking after the same families, one longer-than-usual appointment at a time.
A note from our dentist
We write every plan down, with prices, so you can take it home and think it over.
Our story
Started with one chair,
still run by the same dentist.
We have three treatment rooms, a team that stays, and a diary with room to run over. Most of good dentistry is listening first and explaining clearly, so that is how every visit starts.
-
Careful diagnosis
We find out what is wrong before we suggest what to do about it.
-
Longer appointments
You decide. We explain the options and never rush the answer.
-
Cosmetic work
Whitening, bonding and veneers, planned around what you actually want.
-
Clear prices
A written quote before treatment, and monthly payments if you need them.
How we work
Nobody should leave the dentist feeling they were not listened to.

What you can expect
Three things we do at every visit. This section is built with the standard Elementor heading, text and icon box widgets, so you can edit it like any other Elementor content.
The same dentist
You see the same dentist throughout your treatment, not whoever is free.
Longer appointments
We leave room in the diary so your questions get answered before we start.
A written quote
You get the price in writing before any work, and we tell you first if it changes.
Our story

Digital diagnostics
Digital scans and 3D planning become part of every consultation.

Audits

Patients

We ask for feedback after every course of treatment and read all of it.
Your first visit
What happens, step by step
Four steps, and you can stop and ask questions at any of them.
First visit
We ask what you want, look at your teeth and gums, and talk through the realistic options. No sales pitch.
Smile preview
For cosmetic work we make a digital mock-up, so you can see the likely result before we start.
Your plan
You get the plan in writing, with a price for each stage and a rough timeline.
Treatment and follow-up
We treat at a pace that suits you, then book a review to check everything is settling well.
Typical treatment time
3 to 6 weeks
From first visit to final check
