Most dental exams last 20–30 minutes. At Thorpe Lea Dental, we take 75.
Your first visit is more than a check-up, it’s a deep dive into your oral health. We take time to listen, understand your history, and carry out a thorough clinical assessment, including photos, X-rays, a digital scan, and a personalised treatment plan. It’s unhurried, thoughtful, and completely tailored to you. That’s how trust is built, from the very first visit.
Our monthly plans make it easier to stay on top of your dental health. Patients on a plan tend to visit more regularly, helping to prevent problems before they start—so you stay well, avoid pain, and reduce the need for costly treatments.
Spread the cost of your treatment with ease.
We offer a range of finance plans on treatments over £500 — including 0% interest options to help make your care more affordable. Use our simple finance calculator to work out your estimated monthly payments and choose a plan that suits your budget.

Our founder, Colin Houston, has been the leader of dental excellence at Thorpe Lea Dental since 1998. Recognised for his gentle yet proficient approach, Colin has secured the trust and esteem of patients both near and far, not solely through his remarkable dental abilities but for his warmth and genuine concern. Embarking on his career in 1992, he’s more than a dentist; he’s a compassionate presence, dedicated to the health and smiles of his patients.
From a young age James always knew that he wanted to pursue a career that would allow him to make a difference in people’s lives. His parents and sister already worked in a healthcare role, and so it was no surprise when James decided to do something similar and become a dentist. After gaining his qualification and completing the initial couple of years training in practice, James joined Thorpe Lea Dental. It was here that James truly found his calling, and he quickly became known for his friendly and approachable demeanour, putting even the most nervous patients at ease.
