Services
Preventative Care
Regular dental examinations and professional cleanings help maintain oral health by identifying issues early. Our dentists and hygienists provide tailored advice on home care routines and utilise digital X-rays for accurate diagnostics. We stock specialist dental products to support ongoing care between visits.
Restorations
We repair damaged or decayed teeth using durable materials like composite, amalgam, or porcelain. Our dentists discuss treatment options to suit individual needs, ensuring functional and aesthetic outcomes while preserving natural tooth structure.
Teeth Whitening
Customised whitening solutions include take-home kits, bleaching trays, and in-chair treatments. Our options cater to varying budgets and timeframes, delivering safe, effective results under professional supervision to enhance your smile.
Dental Implants
Implants replace missing teeth through surgical placement of artificial roots, followed by restorative crowns. We coordinate with specialists for surgical phases and provide long-term restoration solutions for improved function and aesthetics.
Children's Dental
We introduce children to dental care through positive early experiences, offering check-ups from age four. Our approach includes preventative care, orthodontic assessments, and gentle treatments tailored to young patients' needs.

I had a veneer emergency today and my normal dental surgeon was away until Monday. They got me in very quick and Charlotte reattached my veneer and relieved a lot of stress and anxiety! Would reccomend her to anyone and felt very comfortable with her services and quality quick work 👍🏻

I have been going to Steve for over 20 years. He wasnt in Ellen Street then but Kembla . My children were only young about 8 and 6 when I first took them to Steve. They are now 32 and 30 moved away but I am still going.
Ellen Street Dental moved into this lovely house,
the atmosphere in the waiting room is peaceful and relaxing. I had a crown done last year by another dentist there and today a filling. I would recommend this dental practice to anyone.

Can't reccomend the Ellen st Dental enough. I've avoided going to the dentist for quite a few years due to some bad experiences at other practices, and I am so impressed at how nice, gentle, and calming Dr Louise (and her pup Douglas!) made my experience. I am really grateful to her for being absolutely wonderful, professional, and calming my fear of dental work!

Would highly recommend Ellen St Dental and I high recommend seeing Charlotte she was fantastic she made me feel very comfortable. She was very patient and understanding and not pushy coming from someone who has a very big fear of dentists due to a very bad experience can’t thank you enough Charlotte.
