What we do, at a glance.

NHS & private

General & preventive dentistry

The backbone of the practice is general dentistry: examinations, scale and polish with the hygienist, fillings, extractions, and the everyday prevention work that stops small issues turning into crowns and root canals. We see NHS and private patients in the same chairs — the clinical care is identical, the difference is how it's funded. New patients are welcome when we have NHS capacity; otherwise we offer a private route.

NHS urgent care

Urgent Dental Access Centre (UDAC)

UDAC is a nationally-commissioned NHS route for urgent dental problems: pain that can't wait, a broken tooth, a lost crown, a dental abscess. Patients are referred into the service, usually via NHS 111 or their own dentist, and we fit them in within the urgent-care window. We're proud to be the Teesside host — it means the practice runs at the sharper end of clinical NHS dentistry every day of the week.

• How to access: referred via NHS 111 or another dentist, or phoned through on the day of the problem.
• What's covered: pain relief, acute infection management, emergency extraction, temporary restorations.
• What isn't: routine check-ups, cosmetic work, long-term planning — those belong with your regular dentist.

Private patients

Private treatment & transparent fees

Some patients choose private care because they want same-week access, longer chair-time, or a specific treatment that falls outside the NHS scope. We publish a plain-English fee list so you know what a new-patient exam, hygiene visit, or filling costs before you book. On a discovery call we'd confirm the specific treatments this practice offers privately (implants, whitening, clear aligners, etc.) and mirror that onto the rebuilt site verbatim.
