How we practise
Explained without jargon, planned for the long term
Why people come to Clear
People come here because they want things explained without jargon. We take the time to show you what is going on, talk it through, and help you decide what feels right for you. Quite simply, we want to help you look after your teeth for the long term, and feel confident about the choices you make along the way.
A team, not one opinion
You may see more than one clinician during your care, and that is by design. As Dr Leigh Knowles puts it, patients benefit from more than one opinion, which is why we work as a team rather than in isolation. Prevention and hygiene, restorative work, orthodontics and implants are each led by a clinician with a special interest in that area.
Teeth for life
We catch problems early, when they are simpler and cheaper to fix, and we save teeth wherever we can. Where a tooth cannot be saved, we plan what replaces it before it comes out. Quick fixes often lead to bigger problems later; everything we do is planned for strong foundations, healthy gums and stable teeth.

So what I really like about Clear Dentistry is just how professional they are, how approachable they are here and the level of service that you receive as well. The moment you watch through the door everyone's incredibly friendly. It doesn't really feel like your typical dental surgery, everyone's really approachable. There's always a great atmosphere. The decor is really homely actually but it's homely yet still professional and it's just got a really nice feel about it. Again as soon as you walk in you feel very comfortable. It's a nice space to relax before you go into see your dentist or hi-genist so it's a nice space to be in. Recently I came in for a feeling and Lee could actually show me on the screen a blown up image of the tooth which is the back of my mouth and of course I've never seen that part of my mouth before and it was really interesting to see really the state that the tooth was in and he could take me through step by step what he was going to do and it gave me a lot of confidence in the procedure they were about to perform on me. I would absolutely recommend Clear Dentistry in fact I have recommended the practice to a few of my friends already who come here and they're very very happy. They kind of approach their taking to dentistry it's something I really admire so I'll be one of their patients for a long time I'm sure.

Everyday dentistry, in patients' own words
Donna came in for a filling and saw the tooth on screen before anything was done. Hear what that, and the atmosphere, are like.

What I like about clear dentistry is the overall experience. It's not only the treatment that you're getting, it is the approach to the treatment you're going to have and how it's done. It makes you feel very comfortable. If there is a problem, then there is going to be a way to overcome it. Being quite frank about it, I had neglected my dental health. I had a chip tooth. I've had several fillings, dentistry is part of treatment from checkups. The experience of being able to see the inside of your mouth very clearly is for me quite important. And of course at the end of the course of treatment, you can see the end result.

I had a chip tooth once and Clear Dentistry sorted me out within 40 hours I got to see the dentist and yeah they were superbly supportive it was fixed in the flash and you could hardly tell. I think for me going to visit a dentist or a doctor or anything of this sort of ilk. It's clean, people are professional, they're happy, potentially you could receive some bad news in a place like this but it doesn't ever feel like you're going to know so I think that's a really nice thing that they do here. The thing with my teeth staining is that it builds up over time it's something that I can't avoid really other than giving up my mind which I'm not prepared to do. So yeah every year I come along for a polish and it's paying for it, it's excellent stuff and really friendly. I mean even to the point where I went and got the reception of the day I had an iPad to fill in my details. I mean the technology just seems to have moved on leaps and bounds since the previous dentist practice I went to. The major thing for me is interaction with the dentist themselves you're actually shown this is what's happening and that's enabled me to make some really easy decisions about what I want to do with my teeth.
Common questions
How often should I come for a check-up?
For most healthy mouths, every six months works well, but your dentist will recommend a frequency based on your needs rather than a fixed schedule. Some patients come every three months, others every twelve. We will explain our reasoning and never ask you to come in more than you need to.
I'm nervous. Can I still be seen?
Yes, and you are far from alone. Tell us when you book and we will adjust how we communicate and the pace of the appointment. The first visit is always just a chat and a look around, with no treatment. For patients who need more support, our consultant anaesthetist provides sedation.
Do you see children?
Private care at Clear is for adults. NHS care is available for children only; ask the team about registering your child.
Do you offer same-day appointments?
Often, yes. If you are in pain or have broken a tooth, call us and we will always try to see you the same day.
