Every implant key has a size, a system, and zero acceptable substitutes.

Good thing this team doesn't panic. It just gets very, very thorough 👀

The consult. The plan. The follow-through.

Every treatment plan is built around the person in the chair, not a trend or a template.

Dr Garreth and Katie run The Good Dentist together. They also run a household together. Different rooms, same rule: show up properly for the people in front of you. As a patient, you get the benefit of two people who've never known how to do things halfway.

Sometimes it's the smallest changes that make the biggest difference.

Shayne wanted to refine the shape and shade of his smile, and close the small gap between his front teeth. Here's how we approached his treatment.

Individual results may vary.

Sharlene walked in expecting a dental appointment, what she felt instead was afternoon tea energy.

The kind of 'kind and understanding' that makes you forget you're sitting in a dental chair at all.

She's been telling everyone about it since.

Sarah is our Clinical Coordinator and one of our wonderful dental assistants and a returning face around here.

She swapped Newcastle for Worcester in the UK for a while, but nothing quite compares to good coffee, good beaches, and Garreth's questionable dad jokes. She just had to come back! 😉

You're not alone if you put off coming to see us 🫣

It's something we see often... a few days turning into a few weeks, until there's something that needs attention and can't wait any longer.

By the time you're actually in the chair, the last thing you want is to be sent away.

That's why we take the x-ray there, on the spot. Dr Mike can pull it up on the screen minutes later and walk through exactly what he's looking at, same visit, same appointment.

It's a small thing on paper. But if you've already waited longer than you meant to, it matters more than it sounds.

Don't wait for it to get worse. Book in and we'll sort you out in the same visit.
