45-Minute First Appointments
We take twice as long as most practices — because a thorough examination can't be rushed. You'll leave with a full picture of your oral health.
Award-winning dental care in Staines-Upon-Thames. 45-minute appointments, gentle clinicians, and a genuinely unhurried first visit — so we can really get to know you and your smile.
Refer a friend — you both get a free Airflow
James Gartshore is known for his calm, unhurried approach and his genuine ability to put even the most anxious patients at ease. From the moment you arrive, he takes time to listen properly — to understand your history, your concerns, and what you actually want from your dental care.
When you book through this May offer, you’ll be booking directly with James. He’s excellent at explaining treatment options clearly and without pressure, and his patients regularly say they leave feeling genuinely reassured rather than overwhelmed.
