Sounds Familiar?

Finding a dentist you can actually trust is harder than it should be.

These are the things patients tell us when they first get in touch.

Waiting weeks for an appointment

NHS lists are closed. Private practices feel vague about availability. We offer same-day slots for urgent concerns and short waits for routine care.

Walking out with a quote you didn't expect

Treatment fees that surprise you aren’t transparent. At Oakley Road, your consultation ends with a written plan showing exactly what’s recommended and what it costs.

Not knowing who will actually treat you

You deserve to know your dentist’s background and qualifications before you sit in the chair. We introduce our team properly and match you to the right clinician.

Feeling anxious before every visit

Our practice is calm, unhurried, and genuinely friendly. Many patients who arrive nervous become regulars who look forward to their appointments. We’ve been told it feels like a catch-up with an old friend.

Your First Appointment

Everything included in your £60 consultation.

This is not a basic check-up. It’s a complete assessment designed so you leave with full clarity on your dental health.

Comprehensive dental examination

A full, unhurried assessment of your teeth, gums, and jaw — not a tick-box exercise.

Digital X-rays

Modern low-dose digital radiography to identify decay, bone loss, or issues invisible to the naked eye.

Oral cancer screening

A systematic check for early signs of oral cancer — an often-overlooked but potentially life-saving step.

Gum health assessment

Evaluation of gum health, signs of periodontal disease, and screening for early decay or wear patterns.

One-to-one with your dentist

Time to discuss any concerns, ask questions, and understand your treatment options without being rushed.

Personalised treatment plan

A clear written plan with transparent costs — so you know exactly what’s recommended and why, before committing to anything.

£60 - One flat fee. No hidden extras.

Includes X-rays, oral cancer screening, and your written treatment plan. Children under 18: £42.30.

How It Works

Three steps to feeling in control of your dental health.

We keep the process simple so there are no surprises at any stage.

Step 1 - Book your appointment

NHS lists are closed. Private practices feel vague about availability. We offer same-day slots for urgent concerns and short waits for routine care.

Step 2 - Your £60 consultation

A thorough examination in a calm, unhurried environment. X-rays, gum assessment, cancer screening — all included in the one fee.

Step 3 - Walk out with a clear plan

You’ll leave with a personalised written plan, transparent costs, and a dentist you trust. No pressure, no jargon.

I have had an exceptional experience with this practice. Every member of the team is honest, responsible, and highly professional in their work. From the reception staff to the dentists, the aesthetic practitioner, and the dental hygienists, everyone is incredibly kind, compassionate, and respectful. Their approach is warm and welcoming, and they genuinely care about providing the best possible treatment for their patients. It is clear that their priority is not simply financial gain, but ensuring that each patient receives the highest standard of care and leaves completely satisfied. I have rarely come across a business where so many genuinely good, ethical, and dedicated professionals work together. I am truly grateful to have found such an experienced, trustworthy, and caring team, and I could not be happier with the care I have received.

I have suffered with migraines for years, and they have left me bedbound for days at a time – they truly took over my life. I tried so many different medications, but they all left me with terrible side effects. Several people recommended Botox for migraines, but I was very worried about the lack of knowledge some practitioners seemed to have. Then my friend recommended Oakley Road Dentist, and I am so grateful they did! The lovely dentist, Mel, talked me through everything carefully and was so kind and reassuring. I’m absolutely delighted to say that after a few weeks of things settling, I haven’t had a single migraine since. After all these years, I could cry with happiness! Thank you so much, Mel – I will definitely be back!! ❤️

Michelle is an absolutely amazing hygienist. From day one, she has been incredibly kind, patient, and understanding throughout my treatment, despite my overwhelming fear of dentists. I can't thank her enough for the care, compassion, and reassurance she has given me every step of the way. She has made what was once a very daunting experience feel manageable, and I genuinely wouldn't feel comfortable having my teeth cleaned by anyone else. Her professionalism, empathy, and dedication to her patients are exceptional, and I'm so grateful for everything she has done for me. I couldn't recommend Michelle highly enough.

They've been super helpful working with me in a way that makes me feel comfortable, supported and listened to, and the reception staff are always really bubbly and helpful. I would definitely recommend!

Oakley Road Dental Surgery The team at Oakley Road are lovely and they have treated me like part of a family. They are the best, and it’s an absolute joy being welcomed and chatting to the team. My Dentist is Dr Demitrios Koroneos and he also specialises in Dental Implant Treatment. I had to have a few extractions, so I didn’t hesitate to contact him regarding implants. A consultation was arranged and he explained absolutely everything very clearly. I was also provided with a pack which covered everything in the consultation and various stages of the implant treatment sequence. He went through all the pros and cons which could arise and also the costs. Demetrious is a brilliant Dentist and his dental nurses are excellent. I had quite a few visits involving surgery and I can honestly say that I was never in any pain. I was well looked after during the surgery and also afterwards. I’m delighted to say that going ahead with having dental implants was one of the best decisions I have made. I couldn’t be happier with the result. Thank you to you all.
