Family dentistry

We are an independent dental practice in the picturesque village of Whickham, just south of the river from Newcastle upon Tyne. We have been established on the same site for over 50 years but here you will now find a thoroughly modern dental practice. Our 6 dentists and 3 hygienists are supported by a staff of 14 and share a wealth of experience.

WELCOME TO WHICKHAM
DENTAL PRACTICE

Caring for you, the patient, and not just your teeth is our number one principle. From the moment you arrive to after care advice. We aim to be informative but to listen to our patients’ needs to construct personalised treatment plans.

Family dentistry is at the heart of what we do – looking after all the generations.

But we also have special interests in implants, cosmetic bonding and Invisalign straightening.

Several years ago at a staff meeting, we looked for a phrase to best describe who we are. We came up with “the home of calm and gentle dentistry”. As a bit of fun we ‘put it out there’ to our patients and they agreed. So it stuck. Nowadays it is our mantra and a constant reminder of how we want to act and what we expect from our new team members.

Once again, welcome to Whickham Dental Practice, the Home of Calm and Gentle Dentistry.

PATIENT EXPERIENCES

"I found out about Whickham Dental Practice when I was researching braces online and made an appointment immediately. We looked at various options and Invisalign seemed to be the best solution for my teeth. Now, I’ve just finished the treatment after 18 months and have to say how pleased I am with the results! I wish I’d done it years ago. Also, I have to mention how fab the practice has been. The reception staff were really helpful and John and Steph were so approachable and friendly, I actually looked forward to seeing them! I could not recommend the practice highly enough. Thanks everyone!"

R Robinson

“Thank-You so much Paul for giving me my smile back. During the whole procedure I was consulted every step of the way. Paul you are a true perfectionist, and not to forget Louise for all her help and support, and Dave the technician for being able to produce an incredible result.”

C Graham

"For years I haven’t felt able to smile confidently, I have covered my mouth, lowered my head and learnt how to smile with my mouth closed. Today I feel like I have been given my smile back, my new crowns and veneers look amazing. Although I admit to having a lifelong fear of going to the dentist my treatment has been sensitive to my needs and I am truly grateful to everyone involved."
