Many patients have their check-ups on the NHS and choose some treatments privately. Cosmetic treatments such as teeth whitening in Croydon or composite bonding in Croydon are not provided on the NHS unless clinically necessary, so they are offered privately with a written treatment plan. Our full price list shows private fees.
For families, our children’s dentist in Croydon page explains check-ups for younger patients, and children who may need braces can read about NHS braces in Croydon, provided by our in-house orthodontic team, Addiscombe Orthodontics. If you have pain or swelling, see our emergency dentist in Croydon page.

Addiscombe tram stop is a short walk away and East Croydon station is nearby, so it is easy to reach from across the borough.
