What we do
Careful general dentistryon familiar ground.

General dentistry & check-ups
Routine examinations, fillings, hygienist visits, and the careful long-term care that keeps small problems small. Available on NHS and private terms.

Tray-based whitening done properly — a custom-fit tray made from impressions, professional-grade gel, and clinical supervision through the course.
Read morePrivate treatments
Crowns, bridges, dentures, and the wider private fee schedule — the work that goes beyond NHS scope. Full schedule confirmed at consultation.
