Biomimetic Dentistry
Keeping your own teeth
We keep as much of your own tooth as we possibly can. Rather than cutting teeth down for crowns, we remove what’s cracked or weak and rebuild on what’s left, so your tooth looks, feels and functions like a natural, healthy tooth.
It’s predictable, it’s built to last for decades, and for members our white fillings on adult teeth come with a 10 year guarantee.
See what we saw
If you’d like, we’ll email you photos after your treatment: your tooth before we started, the damage we found, and the finished result. Most people are surprised by what was hiding there.
Therapist-Led Care
Your check-ups are led by prevention experts
Our four dental therapists specialise in keeping teeth healthy, and they lead your routine checkups and preventive care. At every check-up they take a 3D scan of your teeth, so small changes can be spotted and tracked precisely, long before they become problems.
It also keeps our dentists free for the treatment that needs them. That’s why new patients can usually have an Advanced Dental Check-up within one to two weeks.
Guided Biofilm Therapy
The gentlest, most thorough clean. Every hygiene appointment includes Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT), the most gentle and thorough hygiene treatment available. It’s included at every visit, not offered as an upgrade.

Care that fits around your life
Open until 7pm
On Mondays and Tuesdays, so you can come after work or after the school run.
Urgent appointments every day
We keep appointments free every day for toothache and broken teeth. Members are seen first, and we’ll always do our best for everyone else.
10 Year Guarantee

Spread the fees, interest free
For larger treatment, you can spread your fees with our in-house 0% finance, so the right care never has to wait.
Membership
Knowing we’re here when you need us
Membership spreads your fees into manageable monthly amounts. It also books your check-ups and hygiene visits in advance, so they happen even when life gets busy.
Members pay at least 20% less on most treatment, their children are seen free of charge on the NHS, and white fillings on adult teeth come with our 10 year guarantee. Adult members are also covered by worldwide dental assistance if something happens while they’re away from home. But the real value is simpler. It’s knowing we’re here whenever you need us.
“I called Gentle Touch at 8:30 am, I was the Dentist chair by 10:00 the same day and had finished my treatment by 10:30.”

Tell them what’s worrying you or what you’d like, and they’ll explain how we can help.
