Unhurried dental care in Blackheath village.
We’re a small private practice on Tranquil Vale. First visits last an hour, every fee is published, and we’re used to looking after people who find the dentist difficult.
Open late on Thursdays and on Saturday mornings. Not ready to book? Come and look around first.
How we work
Time to talk
A new patient consultation is an hour and a check-up is thirty minutes. There’s time to ask questions, and time to answer them properly.
Prices before treatment
Every fee is on this website. Before any treatment beyond a check-up, you get a written plan with the cost of each item.
Quiet appointments
The first appointment of each day downstairs is a quiet one: an empty waiting room and nothing running next door. Ask for it when you book.
You don’t have to explain. Just tell us.
Many of our patients came to us after years away. We go at your pace, agree a stop signal before we start, and never do anything you haven’t agreed to. You can visit first just to see the room, and if you need more help, IV sedation is available here.
- A free 20-minute walk-through visit.
- Raise your hand and we stop.
- Headphones and a blanket if you’d like them.
- Longer appointments, with breaks.
- IV sedation with Dr Mehta.
A walk-through visit, in three parts
- Come in. Lucy or Esme meets you at the door. No forms, no chair unless you want it.
- See the room. We show you the surgery and tell you what each thing is for.
- Ask anything. Meet the dentist if they are free. Decide in your own time.
20 minutes. No examination. No charge.

I hadn't been to a dentist in eleven years. I rang, said I was nervous, and waited for someone to sigh. Nobody did. My first visit was mostly talking, and I left with a plan and a price for everything on it.
Not cheap, and I did wince at the fee list. But it's all there before you book, and my bill matched my written plan to the penny.
Grace is thorough and doesn't lecture. She showed me which little brushes fit between my teeth and let me try them there and then.
