Treatments
Everything a mouth needs, under one calm roof
Prevention first, cosmetic when you want it, and urgent care when you need it. Every price below is a starting point we'll confirm in writing.
PreventiveCheck-up & clean
A full exam with your dentist and a gentle clean with our hygienists, in one visit.
CosmeticTeeth whitening
In-chair or take-home whitening, planned around your enamel and sensitivity.
OrthodonticClear aligners
Near-invisible trays that move teeth gradually, planned digitally from day one.
RestorativeDental implants
A permanent replacement for a missing tooth, planned in 3D and placed in-house.
UrgentEmergency care
Same-day slots held every weekday for toothache, breaks and swelling.
FamilyKids dentistry
Gentle, unhurried visits that teach kids the dentist is nothing to fear.
Why Brightsmile
Small studio. Long appointments. No surprises.
We built the practice we'd want to visit ourselves — so we kept it small, slowed it down and put everything in writing.
- 01
Appointments that aren't rushed
Check-ups are a full hour. You'll have time to ask questions, and we'll have time to answer them properly.
- 02
Prices before treatment
Every plan comes with a written, itemised quote. Nothing is added on the day without your say-so.
- 03
Calm by design
Daylit rooms, noise-cancelling headphones, a weighted blanket on request — small things that make a visit easier.
- 04
Urgent slots every weekday
We keep space in the diary for toothache and breakages, so you're not waiting a fortnight in pain.
The team
Five clinicians who'd rather explain than hurry
Patient stories
“I hadn't been to a dentist in six years because of nerves. Lena explained everything before she did it and let me take breaks. I've already booked my next clean.”
“Dr. Hale showed me the projected result of my aligners on screen before I'd paid a cent. Seven months later it looks exactly like the plan.”
“Cracked a tooth on a Monday morning, was in the chair by lunchtime. The quote for the crown was in writing before they started.”
“My son now asks when he's going back to see Theo. That sentence would have been unthinkable a year ago.”

Most plans welcome. Your share, known up front.
