NHS and private care with specialists along the same corridor

Set in Manchester’s Northern Quarter, this mydentist practice runs NHS and private dentistry from one site, and what marks it out among the city’s ten is its in-house specialist bench. A specialist orthodontist, a periodontist, an endodontist and a full-arch implant surgeon practise alongside the general dental team. A patient who arrives for a routine examination can move on to gum surgery, root canal retreatment or implant work without a referral out of the building.

Treatments and services

General care covers examinations, hygiene appointments, fillings, extractions, crowns and dentures. Teeth straightening runs through Invisalign and ClearCorrect aligners as well as fixed metal and ceramic braces, including passive self-ligating systems. Cosmetic work includes composite bonding, veneers, SmileFast and Enlighten whitening. Surgical and restorative care extends to single implants and full-arch rehabilitation, periodontal therapy on the MINST protocol, pocket-reduction surgery and gum grafting for recession defects. Several clinicians also provide facial aesthetics, and treatment co-ordinators talk options through before anything begins.
