Why see a Specialist?
All the clinicians at Brent Dental Specialists have undergone dedicated training in order to provide you with the best possible care. All specialist orthodontists first trained as dentists and then spent at least a further three years studying full time to become Orthodontists. We know how to straighten teeth and take pride in our work.


What to expect at your first appointment

If you qualify for NHS treatment, you will then be asked to book a further appointment where you will have impressions taken of your mouth, x rays and photographs. We will then explain how the treatment will work and answer any questions you may have.
Private Patients
At your first visit, your Orthodontist will assess your Orthodontic needs and discuss all of the treatment options suitable for you. We will take into account your concerns, expectations and oral hygiene. Once you have decided that you are happy to proceed with treatment, we will make you an appointment to take dental records, which includes impressions, photographs and x-rays.
