Dentista
Dentista/The practice

A small practice that decided not to get bigger.

Dentista has had the same four chairs since 2016. Growing meant longer appointments and better materials rather than more patients per hour, and that decision is visible in everything below.

Inside

We combine innovation and empathy to craft a new standard of care

Our philosophy

Nothing recommended that we wouldn't have done ourselves.

Every plan comes with the option of doing less. You get the reasoning, the cost and the alternative before you are asked to decide anything.

Our team

Nine people, and the same faces at every visit.

Two dentists, an orthodontist, three hygienists and three coordinators. You see the same clinician through a course of treatment, not whoever is free that morning.

Our space

Four operatories, daylight in all of them.

CBCT and intraoral scanning on site, so most diagnostics happen in the same appointment. Ground floor, step-free, parking at the door.

Our mission

Dentistry that outlasts the trend it was built for.

We would rather place one restoration that holds for twenty years than three that photograph well for one.

The building

Designed to be quiet.

The waiting room has no television and no radio. Compressors and suction sit in a plant room at the back of the building rather than behind the wall you are sitting against, which removes most of the sound people find difficult about dental practices.

Every operatory faces a window. Appointments are booked with fifteen minutes of slack, so a difficult morning does not become your delayed afternoon.

Step-free from the street, an accessible bathroom, and parking directly outside. If you need a wheelchair transfer or a longer appointment for any reason, say so when you book and we will schedule for it.

Equipment

Bought because it changes the treatment, not the brochure.

The best thing we can sell you is nothing at all, this year.

Around a third of new patients arrive expecting significant treatment and leave with a hygiene plan and a review date. That is not restraint for its own sake — it is what the examination found.
