Dr Daniel Chia

Dentist

Dr. Chia is an experienced dentist with a Master’s degree in Clinical Orthodontics (MSc), specialising in both Invisalign and fixed braces treatments. With advanced training in orthodontics, he brings a wealth of expertise to every patient, ensuring they receive personalised, high-quality care tailored to their specific needs.

Whether you’re looking for the discreet option of Invisalign or the tried-and-true effectiveness of fixed braces, Dr. Chia offers a range of treatments to help you achieve a beautiful, aligned smile. By using the latest techniques in both clear aligner technology and traditional braces, he creates customised treatment plans that deliver precise, effective, and comfortable results.

Invisalign provides a discreet, flexible, and comfortable alternative for those looking to straighten their teeth with clear, removable aligners. However, for certain cases, fixed braces may be the more appropriate solution, and Dr. Chia is skilled in offering both options to ensure the best outcome for your unique smile.

Ready to take the first step towards your perfect smile? Book a consultation with Dr. Chia today to discuss the best treatment for you!

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.

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

GDC: 244944

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.

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.
