Principal Dentist with over 20 years of experience providing exceptional dental care in Finchley.

You are searching for a private dentist in Finchley. Our clinic sits a short five-minute walk from Finchley Central Station and offers full dental care focused on prevention and preserving your natural teeth. We use gentle methods and up-to-date equipment to serve people from Finchley and North London. Whether you need a routine check, want cosmetic options, or have a dental issue, we can help. We operate as a private practice and do not provide NHS services.

When to See a Dentist in Finchley

Regular checkups are the foundation of good oral health. The Oral Health Foundation recommends visits every six to twelve months. Schedule an appointment if you are due for a routine exam or cleaning. See a dentist if you have toothache, sensitivity to hot or cold, bleeding gums, or a chipped tooth. We also welcome patients seeking cosmetic options like whitening or straightening. A North Finchley patient recently stopped by for a checkup after two years, and we found a small cavity and treated it with a simple filling to prevent more extensive work later.

What Happens During a New Patient Visit

Your first visit focuses on you and your dental health. The appointment typically lasts 45 to 60 minutes. We begin by reviewing your dental history and any concerns. Then we perform a thorough examination of your teeth, gums, and soft tissues. We use digital imaging and intraoral cameras to get a clear view. We explain findings in plain language and share a personalised treatment plan with clear costs. You can ask questions, and there is no pressure to start treatment.

Our Range of Dental Services

General & Preventive Dentistry

We focus on maintaining your oral health through comprehensive check-ups, professional hygiene to prevent gum disease, and fillings for decay. We use dental operating microscopes for precise work and the best possible outcomes.

Cosmetic Dentistry

We offer treatments to improve the look of your smile, including professional whitening, clear aligners such as Invisalign for straightening, and bonding to repair chips and gaps. For example, a 40-year-old patient from East Finchley improved stained teeth with in-practice whitening that was six shades lighter in just over an hour.

Emergency Dental Care

If you are in pain, we provide same-day appointments during our office hours (Mon/Wed/Fri 9 AM to 5 PM, Tue/Thu 11 AM to 7 PM) for emergencies like severe toothache, a lost filling, or a broken tooth. Call early so we can see you promptly.

Questions to Ask Any New Dentist in Finchley

Choosing what fits you is important. Whether you visit us or another practice in Finchley, ask these questions: What does a new patient examination include and how long does it take? Are you a private practice and which insurance plans do you accept? What technology do you use for diagnosis and treatment? How do you approach treatment for nervous or anxious patients? Can you provide a full breakdown of costs before any treatment begins? What are your opening hours and how do you handle emergencies?

Costs & Insurance at Our Private Practice

We are a private dental practice and offer clear price transparency. After your initial consultation, you will receive a detailed treatment plan with all costs laid out, so there are no surprises. While we do not provide NHS treatment, we accept private dental insurance from major providers including Max Bupa, Denplan, and Cigna. Let our reception team know if you have a policy you want to use. Financing options for more extensive treatment can be discussed during your consultation.
