Fillings and restoration
Carried out under magnification with rubber dam. We numb the injection site with gel first, so you barely feel the anaesthetic itself. One filling, one appointment, from £180.

Treatments
What we do
The full range in one place, from prevention to implants. Every price is on the site, and you get the treatment plan in writing before anything begins.
Hygienist
Scale, Air Flow and polish. Twice a year and most problems never get started. £95.
Implants
Straumann and Osstem systems. Planned from a 3D scan, with a five-year guarantee. From £1,850.
Children
The first visit is an introduction with no treatment. Your child sits in the chair, holds the mirror, goes home. Free.
Orthodontics
Braces and clear aligners. We show a 3D simulation of the result before you commit. From £2,900.
About the practice
Why people come back
The practice was opened in 2014 by two dentists who had grown tired of working where patients were sold what they did not need. One rule has not changed since: no dentist here earns a percentage of the treatment plan.
That makes our appointments longer and our plans shorter — and it is why patients come back on their own and bring their children.
- A written plan with prices before anything starts
- A second opinion from another of our dentists, free
- No remarks about the state of your teeth
- Headphones and your own music during treatment
- You can stop the appointment at any moment
How it works
Your first visit, step by step
The examination takes 40 minutes and costs nothing. There is no expectation that you start treatment the same day.
- 1
A conversation first
10 minutes
We start by talking: what is bothering you, what your past experience has been, what you want out of it. If it is easier, you need not sit in the chair at all.
- 2
Examination and X-ray
20 minutes
We examine under magnification and take a panoramic X-ray, then show you everything on screen and explain it in plain English.
- 3
A plan with prices
10 minutes
You get a written plan: what we would do, in what order, what each part costs, and what can safely wait. It is yours to take away.

You decide at home
no pressure
Nobody will ring you every week. Book when you are ready — the plan holds at the same prices for six months.
Our dentists
Who will be treating you
You know who you are seeing before you arrive. One dentist takes you from the first examination to the end of treatment — you are not passed between rooms.
Iryna Kovalchuk
Principal dentist, founder
17 years in practice. Works with patients who have put off coming for years, and considers it the most interesting part of the job.
Andrii Shevchenko
Implant surgeon
12 years and more than 1,900 implants placed. Plans every case from a 3D scan rather than by eye.
Mariia Bondarenko
Children's dentist, orthodontist
9 years working with children. The first visit is always without treatment, so the second one is easy.

Questions
What patients ask most
How does the anaesthetic work?
We numb the injection site with gel first, so you barely feel the anaesthetic going in. Before starting we test that the area is numb, and we only begin once you say you are ready. If you want to pause during treatment, raise your hand and the dentist stops straight away.
What does the first visit cost?
Nothing. The examination, the panoramic X-ray and the written treatment plan are all free. We earn from treatment rather than from consultations, and we would rather a fee did not stand between you and walking through the door.
I have not seen a dentist in years. Where do we start?
With the free examination. Our dentists do not comment on the state of your teeth or lecture you about coming sooner — they put together a plan. We have seen every situation, and nearly all of them can be worked through in stages, starting with whatever matters most.
Are you NHS or private?
We are a private practice. That is what allows appointments of 40 minutes rather than ten, and it is why the first examination can be free. If a treatment would be better handled on the NHS or by a specialist elsewhere, we will tell you so at the examination.
What if something flares up in the evening or at a weekend?
Call us — a dentist is on duty until 8pm daily, Saturdays included. Acute pain is seen the same day without an appointment. If we have already closed, the duty dentist will talk you through what to do until morning.
