Building a team

Everybody talks about teamwork and how essential it is to work as a team. However, this can only be effective if the individual members of that team share the same ethos. Stable Court Dental Surgery was founded on the desire to care for our patients and treat them as individuals. Whilst the size of our practice has changed dramatically, expanding over time from two to seven surgeries, with a corresponding increase in the number of clinicians, our ethos has remained the same.

Our dentists and therapists have specific interests in various aspects of dentistry including general and cosmetic restorative work, smile design, oral surgery, dental implants, endodontics, orthodontics, and facial aesthetics. But, whilst our interests may vary we all strongly believe in delivering better oral health and advocating treatment solutions tailored specifically to you on a personal level.

We understand that in dentistry as in life one size does not fit all so we have maintained a large commitment to the NHS , Denplan and private care . Throughout the pandemic we have operated as an Urgent Dental Care centre and our dental team have been committed to helping out those in need of our services.
