General dentistry
Examinations, x-rays, white fillings, root canal treatment and extractions. This is the bread and butter of the practice.
Check-up £55 More on general careHalliwell Dental is a small private practice on Stainbeck Lane. We give you a proper appointment length, explain what we can see on the screen next to you, and write the costs down before anything is booked.
Most of what happens here is routine: a check-up, a clean, a filling replaced before it becomes a problem. We also take on longer cases, and we will tell you honestly when something is better referred elsewhere.

Check-up £55 More on general careScaling, polishing and airflow with Marta, our hygienist. Gum measurements are recorded so you can see whether things are improving.
From £75 More on hygiene visitsComposite bonding and veneers, usually to close a small gap or repair a chipped edge. We will show you a mock-up first.
Bonding from £250 More on cosmetic workCustom trays made from your own impressions, used at home over two to three weeks. Supervised by a dentist, as the law requires.
£395 More on whiteningA titanium root and a crown on top, used to replace a missing tooth. It is a longer process than most people expect, so we plan it properly.
From £2,400 More on implantsClear removable aligners for crowding or a relapsed smile after childhood braces. They only work if you wear them, which we will be blunt about.
From £2,950 More on InvisalignOur membership plan covers the appointments most people need anyway, collected by Direct Debit on the first of the month. There is a minimum term of three months, then one month's notice to stop.
The plan is not insurance for treatment you already need. If you join with work outstanding, we will price that separately and honestly.
A lot of dental anxiety is really anxiety about the unknown. These are the rooms you would see on a first visit, drawn as illustrations while our photography is being redone.
Plenty of our patients arrive after a long gap, often because of something that happened in a dental chair years ago. We are not going to lecture you about it. The first appointment can be a conversation with nothing in your mouth at all, if that is what gets you through the door.
We can agree a stop signal before we start, book longer slots so nothing feels rushed, and break treatment into stages. For some people that is enough. For others we can arrange sedation with a visiting sedationist, and we will talk you through what that involves and what it costs.
Say you are nervous when you book. It goes on your record so nobody has to be told twice.
Sit in the chair with it upright. Ask what everything is. No treatment happens at that visit.
Hand up means stop, and we stop. Most people find the second appointment much easier than the first.
The team has been stable for years, which means you tend to see the same person each time. Everyone clinical is registered with the General Dental Council.
Bought the practice in 2016 after five years working here. Takes most of the implant cases and does the majority of new patient examinations.

GDC No. 241865Sees patients directly, so you do not need to see a dentist first for a clean. Runs our gum health reviews and is very hard to argue with about flossing.
GDC No. 305447Fill in the form and we will ring you back with two or three appointment times. If it is urgent, phoning is faster: we hold slots each morning for patients in pain.
