Dental Essentials is an affordable, independent alternative to NHS dental care – designed to offer
high-quality treatment with reduced waiting times. It uses the same materials and equipment you’d
expect from NHS care, with three pricing options to suit your needs.

Clear Braces

Discreet and removable orthodontic trays that gradually straighten teeth, ideal for correcting mild to moderate misalignment without the need for metal braces.

Crowns

Custom-made crowns that cover and protect damaged, weakened, or decayed teeth. Restores the tooth’s shape, strength, and appearance while preventing further damage.

Dental Bridges

Dental bridges are a reliable way to replace one or more missing teeth, restoring both function and appearance. Custom-made from materials like porcelain or ceramic, they fill the gap by anchoring to the surrounding teeth for a natural-looking smile.

Dental Fillings

Effective treatment for cavities and minor tooth damage. Fillings help prevent further decay by sealing the affected area, preserving natural tooth integrity and supporting long-term oral health.​

Dental Health Checkup

Regular dental check-ups are key to maintaining a healthy mouth. This essential appointment helps detect early signs of decay, gum disease, or other concerns, ensuring your teeth and gums stay in top condition.

Dental Implants

Implants provide a long-lasting, natural-looking solution for missing teeth. Surgically placed into the jawbone, these titanium posts act as strong and stable foundations for crowns, bridges, or dentures.

Dental Veneers

Veneers are thin, custom-made shells that cover the front of your teeth to improve shape, colour, and alignment. Ideal for correcting chips, gaps, or discolouration with a natural-looking result.

Dentures

Custom-made removable appliances used to fit comfortably and securely, offering a reliable solution for replacing missing teeth. Designed to restore oral function, they enhance your ability to eat, speak, and smile.

Emergency Appointment

Our emergency dental appointments are available for both new and existing patients, providing urgent care for issues such as severe toothaches, broken or knocked-out teeth, infections, and other dental concerns.

Invisalign

A discreet, comfortable way to straighten teeth using  custom-made, removable aligners, ensuring oral hygiene is maintained. Ideal for those seeking an alternative to traditional braces without metal wires or brackets.

New Patient Exam

New patients undergo a comprehensive assessment to evaluate overall dental health. During this visit, our team will conduct a thorough examination, reviewing your medical and dental history, a full oral health check, and any necessary imaging.

Periodontal Therapy

Comprehensive treatment for gum disease, focusing on deep cleaning, inflammation reduction, and gum health restoration. This therapy helps prevent further damage to the gums and supporting structures, promoting long-term oral health.

Root Canal

A highly effective procedure to treat infection within the tooth, removing inflamed or damaged pulp, alleviating pain and preventing the need for extraction. Root canal treatment restores function and protects against further infection.

Routine Hygiene Services

Routine hygiene services involve a thorough cleaning to remove plaque and tartar buildup, helping to prevent gum disease, tooth decay, and bad breath. We also provide tailored oral health advice, helping you maintain a healthy smile.

Routine Private Exam

Regular dental checkups that include a thorough assessment of your teeth, gums, and overall oral health, allowing us to detect any early signs of decay, gum disease, or other concerns before they become more serious.

Teeth Whitening

Our professional teeth whitening treatments effectively remove stains and discoloration caused by food, drinks, and daily wear, helping you achieve a whiter, more radiant smile. Whitening treatments are designed to enhance your natural tooth color while protecting your enamel.

Sedation

Sedation dentistry eases dental anxiety and discomfort by calming the nervous system, enabling safe, stress-free care while maintaining your natural awareness and cooperation.

Orthodontic Treatment

Orthodontic treatment helps straighten teeth and improve your bite. Using clear aligners or other solutions, it not only enhances the appearance of your smile but also supports long-term dental health by making teeth easier to clean and maintain.

Botox Treatment

Anti-wrinkle (Botox®) treatment involves carefully placed injections that relax specific facial muscles to reduce lines and wrinkles. Common areas include the forehead, frown lines, and around the eyes, as well as the jaw for tension or teeth grinding. Treatments are quick, minimally uncomfortable, and deliver natural-looking results that usually last 3–4 months.

Matthew Hodgson

Clinical Lead

I qualified from the University of Newcastle upon Tyne in 2013, with Merit in Clinical Dentistry and the NEMLS prize. I then completed my foundation training year, and was awarded the FGDP prize. I joined Linden Cottage in 2022, and also act as Clinical Lead within the practice.
I have always been committed to postgraduate education, and in 2019 passed membership examinations with the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh. I enjoy providing a very wide range of general and aesthetic dental treatments, examples of which are available on my Instagram page. I hold a Postgraduate Diploma in Endodontics (Root Canal Treatment) and work with the benefit of a state-of-the-art operating microscope. This often allows me to save teeth, that may have otherwise been extracted. Outside of work, I’m a keen musician. I enjoy reading and travelling with my wife, Zeynep.

Alex Halim

Dentist

I qualified from Newcastle University in 2023, following which I remained in the northeast to complete my foundation training. I have a passion for endodontics and restorative dentistry. Currently, I am completing postgraduate training in endodontics where I will continually develop my skillset to restore teeth to a high standard. My Instagram page displays treatment and useful information that I have developed. My hobbies include salsa dancing every week and cycling. I often enjoy travelling to different countries for dance.

Tooth Extraction

A tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth from its socket in the jawbone. It may be needed for reasons such as severe decay, infection, damage, or to make space for orthodontic treatment. The procedure is carried out with gentle care to ensure your comfort and promote healing.
