Every practice claims to deliver the best care. What sets us apart?

Compassion & communication – We listen to our patients and prioritise communication. Coming to the dentist can be stressful, so we invest in developing a relationship with you that will keep you coming back for years.

Our amazing team – We’re proud of our talented team and have a strong ‘grow your own’ ethos. Team stability and professional development is key - we invest in our people, so they can invest in you. Whilst you will usually see the same clinician for regular care, you may be offered the option to see other clinicians for more specialist treatments such as root canal, implants or Invisalign.

Prevention – Our membership plan allows us to help you to keep your teeth and importantly your gums in great health, for the long term. With AirFlow treatments offered as standard with our membership plan you leave us with stain free teeth and the ultimate fresh, clean feeling.

Our practice – Thoughtful design is at the heart of what we do and we’ve made sure this is reflected across the practice. Our welcoming reception provides a calm and relaxed environment, and with accessible ground floor facilities, we aim to accommodate everyone, whatever their needs.

Finkle Hill Dentistry truly deserves accolades for their exceptional service, especially when it comes to tooth implant procedures. Under the skilled... hands of Dr. Matt Gahan and his dedicated team, my journey towards completing a tooth implant has been nothing short of outstanding.From the moment I stepped into their clinic, I was greeted with warmth and professionalism. The staff at Finkle Hill Dentistry exuded a sense of genuine care and concern, which immediately put me at ease, despite the apprehension I had about undergoing such a procedure.Throughout the surgery, Dr. Matt Gahan demonstrated a level of expertise that instilled confidence in me. His meticulous attention to detail and precision during the implant process reassured me that I was in capable hands. Not only was he proficient in his technique, but he also took the time to explain each step of the procedure, alleviating any lingering doubts or fears I may have had.One aspect that truly stood out was the emphasis on infection prevention. Every precautionary measure was taken to ensure a sterile environment, from the sterilization of equipment to the thorough disinfection protocols. It was evident that the team at Finkle Hill Dentistry prioritized patient safety above all else, which further reinforced my trust in their abilities.As my journey towards completing the tooth implant continues, I am confident that I am in the best possible hands with Dr. Matt Gahan and his team at Finkle Hill Dentistry. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and commitment to patient care have surpassed my expectations, and I wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone in need of dental care.read more

From my first appointment with Chloe, my hygiene appointment with Serena, to my latest appointment with Clare, I have been made to feel at ease. Everything is explained step by step. I’m now excitedly waiting for my Invisalign journey to begin!I honestly can’t recommend Finkle Hill enough!!read more

I go to Clare for aesthetics and dental care. She always finds the perfect balance between chatting like you’re having a catch up with a friend and... being completely professional. I never feel rushed in and out like I have at other dental practices. The majority of my visits are for aesthetics and I have complete trust in Clare’s knowledge and abilities. She takes time to talk me through the best options to make sure I always have the best and most natural looking outcomes. I wouldn’t go to anyone else! The front of house staff and nurses are always super friendly and Chloe is always lovely when arranging my appointments.A very modern, beautifully decorated and well run practice 🙂read more
