Worth the journey

Why patients choose us from further afield

Some of what we do is hard to find closer to home.

We also look after patients from the villages around Dover, including Whitfield, River, Temple Ewell, Kearsney, St Margaret's-at-Cliffe, Capel-le-Ferne, Kingsdown, Eythorne, Shepherdswell and Aylesham.

Most routine dentistry is best done near where you live. But for some treatment it is worth going a little further for the right practice, and a single longer visit can save several short ones.

  • Same-day crowns and overlays, 3D printed in our own lab, with no temporary and no second visit
  • Smile makeovers you can preview and try in before you commit
  • Dental implants planned and placed in the practice
  • Tooth wear treatment, a special interest of the practice
  • Unhurried care for nervous patients
  • Every fee published, and a written plan before anything starts
