Services Offered

Children / Pediatric Dentistry

Pediatric dentistry covers the care a growing smile needs — first visits, cleanings, fluoride, sealants, and gentle cavity treatment for children.

Orthodontics

Orthodontic care assesses how the teeth and bite are developing and guides each patient toward the treatment that best fits their goals.

Dental Implants

Dental implants replace missing teeth with a post set in the jaw and topped with a custom crown, restoring chewing function and limiting bone loss.

Veneers

Porcelain veneers are thin, custom shells bonded to the front of the teeth to address chips, gaps, and discoloration as part of a smile plan.

Smile Makeovers

A smile makeover combines several cosmetic treatments into one coordinated plan, reshaping a smile's color, shape, and balance together.

I've just completed my SureSmile aligner treatment and tankerton dental - I'm really impressed with the results. The process was relatively quick and easy. Both the dentist and support staff are all lovely and have been very accommodating. The price is also very reasonable - Much cheaper than what I was quoted for Invisilagn. Thank you Tankerton Dental!

I was referred to this practice for a wisdom tooth extraction, the receptionist was lovely, happy and joked with me putting me at ease (this is so important especially with nervous patients). The dentist was happy to chat about things before the extraction, didn't feel the injections at all, he distracted me slightly and removed the tooth, no pain at all. The dental nurse took over with after care and advice. A really good experience (if you can ignore the part where a tooth is being pulled from your head). Others have mentioned a dated practice, it is what it is and served a purpose.

I echo RS TM's comments entirely. Apart from those, a random member of staff walked through the surgery twice whilst I was having an extraction. Afterwards I had an infection & also had to have work done on my neck as the nurse hadn't held my head in place during the procedure. The aftercare at my own (excellent) dental practice is ongoing a few weeks later.

Problems on 2 separate visits - wisdom tooth root left in following an extraction, and left with a severely damaged tooth next to a second extraction that will need follow up care from my dentist. Seems to be a rushed service with a very poor technique? The receptionist and dental nurse were however very good 👍
