Absolutely. In fact, helping nervous patients is something we pride ourselves on. We understand that walking through the door is often the hardest part. You will never be judged here—only supported. If you are feeling anxious, please tell our reception team when you book. We will take your appointment at your pace, explain everything before we do it, and ensure you feel in control at all times.

We love seeing families! We are very proud to be a family-friendly practice. We believe that positive dental habits start young, so we take extra care to make check-ups fun and relaxed for children. Our goal is for your children to grow up without the dental fear that many adults have. We recommend bringing them along as soon as their first tooth appears.

Yes, we are! We are warmly welcoming new private patients to the practice. Whether you are new to the area, looking for a second opinion, or just ready for a change, we would love to look after you. We currently have availability to get you booked in within the next [Week].

It is much easier than you think. You do not need to contact your previous dentist before booking with us. At your first consultation, let us know where you were previously registered. If we need specific X-rays or notes, we can provide you with a simple form to sign, and we will handle the request on your behalf.

We’d love to see you. You can book directly via our online booking system [BOOK NOW] 24 hours a day. Alternatively, give our friendly reception team a call at 01270 584776 between [08:30 – 17:30] and we will find a slot that suits your schedule.

Yes, and we can likely see you this week. We know how frustrating it is to wait months for an appointment. At Middle Street Dental, we are a fully private practice, which means we aren’t restricted by NHS targets or waiting times. You can skip the queue and book your consultation immediately. We focus on high-quality care, longer appointment times, and ensuring you see the same dentist every time.

We believe excellent dental care should be accessible. While we are a private practice, we offer [Membership Plans / Finance] to help spread the cost of your routine care. Many of our patients who switched from the NHS are surprised to find that for the cost of a few coffees a month, they get regular hygiene visits, priority booking, and peace of mind—without the long wait.

We believe excellent dental care should be accessible. While we are a private practice, we offer flexible finance options  through our partners Chrysalis Finance, to help spread the cost of your treatment. Many of our patients who switched from the NHS are surprised to find that private care is within reach, especially when you consider the value of being seen quickly and consistently.

Think of it as a two-part system for your health. Your Dentist examines the health of your teeth, checks for decay, assesses your jaw, and screens for oral cancer. Your Hygienist focuses entirely on gum health, removing hard plaque (tartar) that brushing can’t reach, and polishing teeth to remove stains. We recommend seeing both regularly for the best protection.

Your first visit is very thorough. We will take the time to discuss your dental history and any concerns you have. Then, we perform a comprehensive examination of your teeth, gums, and soft tissues, usually including X-rays. By the end, you’ll have a clear, written treatment plan with no hidden surprises.

Our private consultations are more than just a “quick look.” Your appointment includes a comprehensive 12-point health check of your teeth, gums, and soft tissues, oral cancer screening, and digital X-rays if required. You will have ample time to ask questions and discuss cosmetic goals without feeling rushed.

Yes. We reserve time daily for urgent care. If you are in pain, you do not need to wait weeks to be “accepted” as a patient. Call us immediately at 01270 584776. We can often offer a same-day assessment to get you out of pain, even if you haven’t visited Middle Street Dental Practice before.

Yes, we do. We are providers of Invisalign clear aligners. This is a fantastic option for adults who want to straighten their teeth discreetly. Unlike traditional metal braces, Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible and can be removed for eating and brushing. We can scan your teeth and show you a digital simulation of what your new smile could look like before you even start.

Composite bonding is one of our most popular treatments because it is minimally invasive and often requires no drilling or injections. We use a high-quality aesthetic resin to carefully sculpt over your natural teeth to fix chips, close gaps, or improve the shape of your smile. Best of all, it can usually be completed in just one appointment, giving you an instant smile makeover.

Absolutely. Under UK law, professional teeth whitening can only be legally carried out by a dental professional. The products we use at Middle Street Dental are prescription-strength and custom-tailored to your teeth, ensuring you get a brighter result without damaging your enamel or burning your gums, which is a common risk with unregulated online kits.

A Smile Makeover isn’t a single treatment; it is a bespoke plan designed just for you. It might be as simple as whitening and a little bonding, or a combination of Invisalign and ceramic veneers. We start with a consultation to listen to what you want to change, and then we design a roadmap to get you there within your budget.

We focus on restorative and cosmetic dentistry (like bridges and dentures) to replace missing teeth. While we do not place implants in-house, we have a trusted network of local specialists we refer to for the surgical phase, and we can often restore the tooth afterwards. We are happy to discuss all your options for filling gaps during your consultation.
