We are two Dental Practices offering NHS Dental Care and Private treatments in and around Gateshead.
Kenny and Gaurav have owned the practices since 2013. Both dentists strongly believe in further education and have obtained many qualifications. They are committed to constantly improving the practice.
The practice aims to provide high quality dentistry in a setting that is both comfortable and friendly. Everyone is welcome and we offer a full range of NHS and Private treatments.
Our practices are built on reputation and the team is here to make patients feel welcome and comfortable. A visit to the dentist can sometimes make patients nervous but we can reassure patients that we will do everything we can to alleviate any fears. Sometimes all that is needed is a friendly and understanding manner. Our team is very empathetic and will help you to relax.
All our dentists and clinical staff work in both our practices and are registered with the General Dental Council - our registration details can be viewed on the GDC website.
