At Oakland our goal is to provide you with excellent treatment within a friendly and relaxed environment. We will provide you with all the latest oral health guidance and advice you require, to ensure that you and your family stay healthy between visits.

Our Clinic

Our aim is to provide excellent treatment within a clean, comfortable and friendly environment. We have been steadily refreshing and expanding our practice since 2014. The work is now complete and we are proud to present our modern fresh healthcare setting that you can see in the images below and will experience when visiting our premises.

Our expansion has allowed us to diversify the treatments we can provide to our patients from routine dentistry to dental implants and facial aesthetics.

Facilities

We have invested in the latest technology to enhance our diagnostic and treatment abilities but with extra clinic space, we now have purpose built settings to provide these additional services from consultation suites and treatment co-ordination rooms to state of the art implant suites and hygiene surgeries.

On the ground floor you can find two dental surgeries, a reception area a toilet and a treatment co-ordination room. With all these facilities now available on the ground floor, our building is now much more accessible to all levels of agility than it has ever been! We have a wheelchair ramp at the rear door to help with access. The ground floor has been designed so there is no change of level once you are within it which enables easy movement between clinical environments.
