Caring for Dover · est. 1912

A Family Practice, in caring hands for generations

our Story

Over a century of Dover smiles

Nestled in the valley below Dover Castle on Beaconsfield Road, Sedgemead House has been a part of the community since 1912. For 38 years it was lovingly run by husband-and-wife team Kim and Ken Aylward, who built their reputation on genuine, compassionate care.

Last year marked a new chapter as they passed the practice to their son, Dr Siegfried Aylward. The values stay exactly the same - only now paired with the newest 3D digital technology for precise, comfortable, long-lasting results.
