At the Cottage Dental Practice our patients are our number one priority. We have established a team of highly experienced, well trained dental experts which allows us to provide you with the highest quality of care possible.

We like to think our practice has a warm, welcoming, and friendly atmosphere. Many of our reception team have been at the practice for over 10 years and know our patients by name. The modern, comfortable surroundings mean that your trip to the dentist can be more relaxing and enjoyable.

We are constantly improving our practice so that we can provide the latest in modern dentistry for our patients and help them to maintain healthy mouths for life. We have recently installed a new cross-infection suite in order to comply with gold standard regulations. Although we constantly monitor our service to our patients, we always welcome your suggestions.
