About A1 Dental Surgery
A1 Dental Surgery provides dental care on London Road in Canterbury, England. Implants are considered by many dentists the most durable way to replace a missing tooth, since the titanium post fuses with the jaw bone over several months and then supports a crown that functions much like a natural tooth. Enough healthy bone is the main prerequisite, and a graft can build that up first if needed.
Clear aligners straighten teeth through a series of custom, removable trays, each worn for one to two weeks before moving to the next in the sequence. They suit mild to moderate crowding and spacing well, and are worn roughly twenty to twenty-two hours a day for treatment to stay on schedule.
A veneer is a thin custom shell bonded to the front of a tooth to change its shape, length, or colour, most often used to address chips, gaps, or discoloration that whitening alone cannot fix. Traditional veneers require a small amount of enamel to be removed, which makes the change permanent.
Cosmetic dentistry covers treatment aimed primarily at appearance — whitening, veneers, bonding, and reshaping among the more common options — for patients who are less concerned with a problem that hurts than with how their smile looks day to day. The right combination depends on what specifically you would like to change.
Root canal treatment removes infected or inflamed tissue from inside a tooth, cleans and seals the space, and allows the natural tooth to be kept rather than extracted. Its reputation for being painful is largely outdated — carried out under local anaesthetic, it typically relieves pain rather than causing it.
A crown covers an entire damaged tooth — used when too much structure is missing for a filling to hold reliably, whether from a large fracture, extensive decay, or after root canal treatment. It restores both the shape and the biting strength of the tooth underneath. This page has the practice's contact details and full service list.

I just wanted to send a big thank you and sincere appreciation to Zareen Mumtaz for both myself and my husband. She always gives us such good treatment and is so kind and friendly. Any dental work is carried out with great care and with excellent follow up advice. One couldn’t wish for more!. Please pass on our gratitude and thanks to her.
Hygienist Amy and her dental nurse colleague were lovely - and it was honestly the first time in my life that it wasn’t an excruciating experience - it was actually painless and she did an amazing job bake also made you feel very comfortable throughout the procedure.
My Invisalign journey was smooth and easy from beginning to end. The entire team was so kind and helpful, and everything went exactly as planned. I highly recommend.
Excellent, empathetic dental care from Dr Theresa Murphy and hygienist Amy, with good personalised advice. The receptionists and nurses are very friendly and helpful too, highly recommended.
I just want to say a huge thank you to Som and the whole team at A1 Dental Practice for the amazing treatment and care we received. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and everyone made us feel so welcome from the moment we arrived. They were especially wonderful with my daughter when she came along to my appointments, always including her and giving her stickers, even though the appointment was for me. When it came to my daughter’s own appointment, the dentist was absolutely amazing with her. They spoke to her about tooth hygiene and the tooth fairy in such a supportive and reassuring way, while being incredibly patient and understanding. My daughter is highly anxious in general, especially about visiting the dentist, but they made her feel calm and comfortable throughout. The whole practice deserves 5+ stars. We are so grateful for the kindness, professionalism, and care shown to both of us. Highly recommend!
I first went to A1 dental for a consultation to see if I was suitable for Invisalign. My appointment was with Som and he was so friendly, informative and made me confident that they could help me get the perfect smile. I went ahead and completed my Invisalign, it took a few months longer than expected but was still completed within a year so that didn’t bother me at all. Som genuinely cared that I was getting what I hoped for and I’m so happy I chose A1. All the other members of staff were great too. I’m not nervous about visiting the dentist but I definitely think that if there are people that feel that way then this would be the perfect dentist for them, they all made me feel at ease and I actually looked forward to going every month or so. Would recommend them to everyone due to the great service I received. Thank you all at A1.
Genuinely the best thing I have ever done was get Invisalign. Som was amazing and so lovely from start to finish and so were all the other dentists/nurses/receptionists ♡ I was estimated 15 months of Invisalign but was done in about 5/6! They are PERFECT. I never used to smile with my teeth, and now I never smile without. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart ❤️
Had a brilliant Invisalign journey with Som, Amy and team. Started in June 2024 and just recently had the brackets off to start my whitening, then will have the fixed retainer in a month. A previous orthodontist told me I wouldn’t achieve what I wanted to may my be possible due to crooked teeth but Som has been amazing! My confidence is beaming with my new smile and I want to thank everyone at A1 for the best experience. Thank you!
My wife and I have been having Invisalign with Som for just over a year and couldn’t recommend A1 dental enough. Everyone is so lovely and welcoming. We have also just been to the hygienist, Amy who was so lovely and really made my wife feel at ease as she is a nervous patient. We have been so impressed with our whole experience at A1 dental and would recommend them to anyone needing any dental work. We will be relocating our whole families dentist to A1 😃 Thank you to Som, Amy and the whole team.
Incredible experience. Had the amazing Amy Brownlee worked her magic and make my teeth look shiny and new. She is fantastic, knowledgable and so good! Can’t recommend enough, great treatment and also dental care was fantastic. All very friendly and caring staff and made everything so easy and nice.
The service at A1 Dental has been always been caring and professional. The Invisalign service they provide and l am currently undertaking has been an easy and smooth process. Som and Juliette have been particularly helpful taking on any concerns. l am really happy with the results so far. The hygienist Amy is second to none and comes across really well with her sunny disposition and caring nature. She is excellent and would highly recommend. If you’re nervous especially on a first visit she really puts you at your ease.
