Your Dentist, Not Just a Dentist
Routine care here is built around continuity. Appointments are timed to allow a proper conversation rather than a rushed check, and your dentist will know your history rather than reading it off a screen.
Dr Bethan Liddy
General & Cosmetic Dentist
BDS (Hons) MJDF RCS (Eng)
GDC No. 270779
Beth combines routine care with advanced postgraduate training in aesthetic and restorative dentistry, undertaken with Dr Christopher Orr. Patients who have avoided the dentist for years tend to be sent her way. She works at the pace you set, explains what she is seeing as she goes, and is candid about what genuinely needs attention now against what can be monitored.
Dr Samar Khamis
General & Cosmetic Dentist
DDS (Denmark)
GDC No. 193304
Dr Samar Khamis brings an unusually international background to routine care. She qualified in Copenhagen in 2008 and spent the early part of her career working across Denmark and Greenland, travelling to communities with very limited access to dentistry. That experience shaped a patient-first approach that has carried through fifteen years of UK practice. She is particularly experienced with nervous and anxious patients, working calmly and at a pace that suits them, with sedation available where it helps.
Where treatment falls outside general practice, it stays in the building. Oral surgery, endodontics, orthodontics and sedation are all delivered on site by colleagues your dentist works with directly, so there is no referral letter and no waiting to be seen somewhere else.

Your First Appointment
A new patient examination runs up to 60 minutes. It is a clinical assessment rather than a quick look, and it is built around understanding where your mouth is now and where you want it to be.
- A thorough examination of the teeth, gums and soft tissues, inside and out
- Screening for oral cancer and for gum disease
- A 3D digital scan of your teeth, included at no extra cost
- Dedicated time to talk through your long-term goals, cosmetic or otherwise
- Preventive and dietary guidance specific to your circumstances
- A written summary of the findings and a personalised treatment roadmap
If further imaging is needed to complete the assessment, it will be discussed and quoted during the appointment rather than added afterwards.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is general dentistry?
General Dentistry – Caring for Your Everyday Oral Health
General dentistry forms the foundation of lifelong oral wellbeing. It includes all the treatments that a general dentist and hygienist are qualified to provide—focused on maintaining healthy teeth and gums, rather than restoring or replacing damaged ones.
Our general dental services include check-ups, hygiene appointments, fillings, periodontal care, assessments, fissure sealants for children, and minor oral surgery.
Routine appointments go far beyond just checking your teeth. Using the latest in advanced digital technology, our comprehensive dental examinations include a full assessment of your gums, tongue, jaw, inner cheeks, and neck, including an oral cancer examination—allowing us to detect and address any potential issues early.
If more advanced care is needed, here at TwentyOneDental patients have direct access to experienced specialists, consultants, and expert clinicians—all working together under one roof to create personalised treatment plans that prioritise your comfort and long-term oral health.
How often do I need to see a dentist?
We generally recommend being seen for a check-up every six months to maintain good oral health. However, every smile is unique, and your needs may vary.
If you’re undergoing specific treatments—such as teeth straightening or ongoing restorative work—we may suggest more frequent visits to monitor your progress and ensure everything is on track.
On the other hand, if your smile is in excellent health and you’re maintaining a strong oral hygiene routine at home, we may only need to see you once a year.
Whatever your needs, we’ll always tailor your care schedule to what’s best for you.

Why do I need to have a tooth extracted?
Tooth Extractions & Implant Solutions – Expert Care for a Healthier Smile
Tooth extraction is sometimes necessary when a tooth cannot be saved due to severe decay, trauma, or impaction. In such cases, removing the affected tooth can prevent further complications and support your overall oral health. There are two main types of extractions: Simple extraction – for teeth visible above the gum line. Surgical extraction – for teeth that are not easily accessible, such as impacted wisdom teeth.
At TwentyOneDental, we not only focus on safe, comfortable tooth removal supported by sedation if required—we also help you plan for what comes next. It’s important to consider tooth replacement after an extraction to prevent jawbone loss and long-term structural issues. Dental implants are often the ideal solution and our dedicated implant team will be happy to talk you through the process.

I haven’t been to see a dentist in a few years, is this a problem?
Absolutely not. We start from scratch with every new patient—whether you’ve just moved to the area, changing dentists or are looking to get back on track with your dental care. Every Patient Journey Starts Fresh – No Judgement, Just Care.
As an accredited Dental Phobia Certified Clinic, we fully understand that dental anxiety is real and, for many, a key reason for avoiding the dentist. Whatever your reason, please know that there is no judgement here—only support from a warm friendly supportive team.
From your very first visit, you can be reassured we are committed to making your experience as comfortable, reassuring, and positive as possible. We also offer sedation should you need this. We take the time to listen, understand your concerns, and tailor your care to help you feel at ease every step of the way.
I have tooth pain, what do I do?
Don’t ignore it. Toothache is a clear sign that something isn’t right—and it’s always best to get in touch as soon as possible so we can take a closer look.
If the pain is severe, we offer emergency appointments and will do everything we can to see you as quickly as possible.
Call us on 01273 202102 and let us help relieve your pain without delay.
While you wait for your appointment, over-the-counter painkillers like paracetamol can help manage the discomfort. But remember, pain relief is only temporary—the underlying issue still needs to be treated.
