Top quality professionals, reasonable prices! Super welcoming and efficient staff with Johanna's kindness making it much nicer! And... top quality doctor! I'm normally a bit nervous when going to the dentist, but Dr. Jack Johnson was incredibly professional, accurate and delicate in his assesment of my situation and his answers, he was also so patient, that I really felt at ease!

Fabulous dental practice! I called with tooth pain and was able to book an emergency appointment that morning. I've since had 2 wisdom teeth removed (within the space of a month) and the whole team was extremely kind and accommodating throughout. The receptionists, Rosa and Joanna, were so friendly and definitely helped calm nerves pre- and post-tooth removal. Dr Jack was very comforting when explaining the process and answering any questions I had, and made the whole procedure painless (and extremely swift). As someone with a terrible fear of needles and embarrassingly low pain tolerance, I can confidently say this place worked miracles! Thank you all :)

Great experience! I was seen at very short notice after my fixed retainer became unstuck, the dentist I saw was very helpful and informative. The receptionist was also very warm and friendly, I would definitely recommend!

Everyone is lovely and so understanding. The receptionists (shout out to Jo and Rosa) are friendly and really do their best to put you at ease. They have an option of being shown round and introduced to people before any work which I've never been offered before. Dr Frances is a calming presence and worked hard to put fears and my embarrassment to rest. I have fibromyalgia and issues with jaw pain. They did their best to work around my issues and not trigger ongoing pain. I would definitely recommend them to anyone like me with bad previous experiences which trigger severe anxiety.
Not sure where to start? Let's talk it through
Whether you're exploring implants, straightening your teeth or simply want a smile you feel confident in, a consultation is where everything begins. We won't push you towards treatment - we'll take the time to understand what you actually want, check whether you're suitable, and give you an honest, clear picture of your options.
What happens after you contact us?
Get in touch
Call us, book online or fill in the form on this page and a member of our team will call you back. For implants or sedation, we'll start with a free phone consultation to understand what you're looking for. For all other treatments, we can get you booked straight in.

Feeling anxious about booking?
Dental anxiety is more common than you might think - and it's something we take seriously at Tavistock Dental. We've been caring for nervous patients for years, and we understand that for some people, even picking up the phone can feel like a big step. That's okay. Our team is trained to listen without judgement, take things at your pace and make sure you feel in control at every stage.
For patients who need a little more support, IV sedation is available with Frances, our sedation dentist. You'll be in a deeply relaxed state throughout your treatment, with little to no memory of the appointment afterwards - making it possible to get the care you need without the worry.

We believe good dental care shouldn't come with any surprises.

How often should I visit the dentist for a checkup?
Regular dental checkups are essential for maintaining oral health. At Tavistock Dental, we don’t recommend scheduling a dental checkup every six months. Instead we learn what risk factors and habits you have and will give you a personalised recall period in which to attend for check ups. This is to prevent cavities, gum disease, and other dental issues. So recall periods can range from every three months to every two years. We provide truly personal care!
What is included in a routine dental checkup at Tavistock Dental?
A routine dental checkup at Tavistock Dental includes a comprehensive examination of your teeth, gums, and mouth, and any necessary X-rays. Regular checkups help detect early signs of dental problems and maintain your oral health.
How can I prevent cavities and gum disease?
Preventing cavities and gum disease involves good oral hygiene practices like brushing twice daily, flossing regularly, and visiting Tavistock Dental for routine checkups. Our team provides personalised advice to help you maintain healthy teeth and gums.
What dental services does Tavistock Dental offer?
Tavistock Dental offers a wide range of general dentistry services, including routine checkups, dental fillings, crowns, bridges, and gum disease treatments. We also have specialists on-site to provide advanced dental care when needed.
Do I need professional teeth cleaning if I brush and floss regularly?
Yes, professional teeth cleaning at Tavistock Dental is essential, even if you brush and floss daily. Our hygienists remove plaque and tartar buildup that regular brushing cannot reach, helping prevent cavities and gum disease.

We won't rush you or push you towards any treatment - we'll give you an honest picture of your options and let you decide what feels right.

You don't need to know - that's what we're here for. Whether you have a specific concern or just know something doesn't feel right, come in and we'll assess everything and talk you through your options honestly. There's no obligation to go ahead with anything on the day.
Do you have good reviews from patients?
