For Professionals

We are always open to working with other dentists and dental therapists. Our team, led by Principal Dentist Amber Aplin, has particular interests in preventive dentistry, biomimetic restorations of badly damaged teeth, dental therapy, implants, complex root canal and teeth straightening.

We are delighted to accept referrals from other practices. We offer training, study clubs and mentorship. If you’re looking for a career move, please keep in touch! 

Referrals

We gladly accept independent referrals from dentists for patients who need: implant solutions for missing teeth, or loose dentures; perio (gum disease) or routine hygiene treatments; dental pain (where patients want to save their teeth, if possible); badly damaged teeth (deep decay, or fractures); teeth discolouration including white spot lesions; and teeth straightening (including Invisalign). Patients are also referred for private dental therapy including Airflow hygiene treatments.
