Accredited Dental Care - After external assessment our practice has been awarded Denplan Excel status to reflect the quality of care that we provide.

Just completed full mouth dental implant treatment with Dr John Gall, totally delighted with the result and the attention to detail from Dr Gall and his team.
My teeth had failed through long term gum problems, I was offered a number of alternatives and decided to go for fixed teeth on dental implants, or 'all on 4' as its called.
I had my final teeth extracted, implants placed and temporary bridges placed in 1 visit, so I didn't need to wear dentures at all, quite incredible.
4 months later, I've just had my final bridges placed.

We have a highly trained hygiene team dedicated to your best oral health and preventive dental care.

The prospect of a visit to the Dentist can be scary for many people.
In fact, studies have shown that a fear of the Dentist is common with 1 in 4 of us dreading a visit!
Usually this stems from a unhappy past dental experience.
Today, dentistry is different - Barnton Dental is a modern and patient-focused practice offering a warm and welcoming environment in which you can relax.
We aim to make your experience as enjoyable and pleasant as possible.
Our highly professional and friendly team of dentists, hygienists, therapists and nurses are all trained to offer our patients the latest treatments to the highest of standards.

The friendly and professional hygienists at Barnton Dental are here to scale and polish your teeth - removing harmful plaque and tartar and helping to ensure that you have healthy teeth and gums for life.
They also advise you how to implement and maintain good oral health regimes at home so that your teeth continue to be disease free between visits.
Another good way to help reduce tooth decay is to reduce your sugar intake and aim to avoid too many sweets and fizzy drinks.
Our hygienists will be happy to advise you about your diet if you have had to have fillings in the past.
