About A & S Dental Surgeons

Welcome to A & S Dental Surgeons - Best Dental Clinic in Bradford. Did you know there has been a dental practice here at 65 Duckworth Lane since the 1880's? Our practice has a fine heritage - our records go back over 100 years! For example in January 1911, Mr. W.E. Baxter practised here - an extraction cost sixpence, and a filling was 2s6d. At that time, dentists were not registered as the Dentists Act did not become law until 1921. In 1948, Mr. Leslie Jackman became the first NHS Dentist to practise here under the newly incepted National Health Service. Mr. Jackman is still remembered by our long standing patients, many of whom attended his surgery situated downstairs in the front room. Meg Daniels, our current practice manager, began work for Mr. Jackman in 1978 as a trainee dental nurse. Mr. Jackman was not only supported by Meg, but by Gerald Bedford, who was the dental technician, constructing dentures in the basement. In 1982, Mr. Jackman retired and sold the practice to Mr. Martin Durgan, who refurbished the building, and introduced modern dentistry such as crowns and bridges. Mr. Durgan employed Ali Azfar, straight from dental school, to work for him at Duckworth Lane. Ali Azfar and Nick Shore have been firm friends since their early days at Leeds Dental School in 1985. They made a pact to work together as  professional colleagues because they each felt the other was a good dentist! In 1991, Ali Azfar and Nick Shore purchased the entire practice from Mr. Durgan and A&S Dental Surgeons was born.

Very poor communication between patient and practice ,not professional,to say they are investors in people I suggest they have polite attitude to patients needs. Which is lacking no empathy..😔

I started my Invisalign journey with Laura and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better dentist. From the very beginning, she made me feel completely comfortable and informed every step of the way. Her attention to detail was absolutely on point, and it was clear how much care and precision she puts into her work. We also went for the edge bonding to complete the look and they looked so natural and suited me very well. Laura was always professional, friendly, and genuinely passionate about achieving the best possible results for her patients. She took the time to explain everything thoroughly and made the whole experience feel smooth and stress-free. I also had a root canal treatment with Laura, and she was incredibly gentle and reassuring throughout the whole procedure, especially knowing how nervous I was. She made me feel calm, comfortable, and completely at ease, which made such a difference to my experience. I’m so happy I chose Laura for my Invisalign treatment and dental care, and I would highly recommend her to anyone considering starting their journey!

I can’t recommend this dentist highly enough. From the moment I walked in, the whole experience was professional, welcoming, and reassuring. I had teeth whitening and composite bonding done, and the results have honestly exceeded all of my expectations. My dentist Laura was incredibly skilled, attentive, and clearly takes real pride in her work. She listened carefully to exactly what I wanted, explained every step of the process, and made sure I felt comfortable throughout. The attention to detail was amazing — she didn’t just improve my teeth, she created an amazing , beautiful smile that perfectly suits me. What impressed me most was how confident and happy I felt afterwards. For the first time in a long time, I can smile without feeling self-conscious, and that feeling is priceless. It’s more than just cosmetic work — it has genuinely boosted my confidence. If you’re considering composite bonding or any cosmetic dental treatment, I would wholeheartedly recommend Laura she’s talented, professional, caring, and truly exceptional at what she does. Thank you so much for giving me my smile back!o

Hygienist Chantelle Vickers is one of the best hygienists I have visited. As a new private patient, she was warm, welcoming, professional, supportive and encouraging. I've never felt so comfortable at a hygienist appointment. I was very happy with my Periodontal Treatment that I had to leave her my 5 Star feedback. Would highly recommend her. Thank you Jodie x
