No. 01 — The practice

We are a small, slow dental practice on Queens Terrace — three chairs, one hygienist, a kettle that is always on. We do not run on twenty-minute slots. We do not upsell. We sit with you, look carefully, and tell you the truth about your teeth.

52 min

Average first appointment. Most NHS allocation is twelve. We do not consider twelve enough to know a mouth.

1,400+

Patients seen since 2018 — the majority through word of mouth and the back door of the harbour practice.

No. 02 — What we look after

Six rooms of care, none of them rushed.

/ 01

Restorative

Crowns, bridges, onlays — the slow craft of giving a tooth its second life. We use ceramic and composite matched to your own enamel, not a chart.

Read the brief
/ 02

Cosmetic

Veneers, edge bonding, re-contouring. Always conservative — we'd rather shave a millimetre than a tooth.

/ 03

Implants

Single tooth to full-arch, placed in-house under local. Planning takes longer than surgery. That's the point.

Our protocol
/ 04

Periodontal

Deep cleaning, root planing, gum grafting. The unglamorous work that keeps every other tooth in your head.

Why it matters
/ 05

Endodontics

Root canals, done under magnification by a clinician who only does root canals. Most teeth we save, we keep saved.

The microscope
/ 06

Hygiene

Air polish, gentle scaling, oral cancer screening. Thirty quiet minutes with Mariana, our hygienist since 2019.

No. 04 — In their words

We are remembered by the people we sit with.

"

I came in convinced I needed eight veneers. Dr. Redca talked me out of six of them. We did composite bonding instead. Same smile, a third of the cost, and she still asks how it's holding up.

I have been afraid of dentists since I was nine. The first visit, we just talked. For forty minutes. No tools, no chair. By the third visit I let them scale a single tooth. They didn't push. They waited.

My implant took four months. They could have done it in six weeks. They explained why the slow version lasts longer. Three years in, I can't tell which one it is. Neither can anyone else.
