Welcome to Chester Road
Poynton's family dental home since the 1940s
Our aim is simple: the highest standard of evidence-based dentistry in a professional, relaxed and family-friendly environment — with prevention at the heart of everything we do.
- Prevention first. We'd rather teach great habits than drill teeth — we see children from just 12 months old.
- Everything explained. Clear options, honest advice and written treatment plans — you make informed decisions.
- Nervous patients welcome. Unhurried appointments, kind faces, and IV sedation with Dr John for those who need it.
- Part of the community. Close ties with local nurseries, schools and care homes — 200m from St George's Church.

We see children from 12 months
Growing up with us
Little smiles, big futures
We believe it's infinitely better to instil great cleaning and diet habits than to treat problems later. That's why we welcome children from just 12 months old — normally under the NHS.
- Disclosing solution at routine visits highlights problem areas before they become fillings.
- Friendly first visits with mum or dad — advice on what to encourage and what to avoid.
- Fissure sealants, sports guards and gentle preventative treatments as they grow.
