What makes Tower Dental in Blackpool different?

Tower Dental Blackpool is at 302a Devonshire Road FY2 0TW. We are not a typical dental practice. We are an advanced private dental practice that happens to be in Blackpool. You get the ease of a local practice. You also get real clinical depth and training. You get the quality of materials that most patients link with larger clinical settings or a specialist referral centre. Our principal dentist Dr Sarah Metias holds the Membership of the Joint Dental Faculties from the Royal College of Surgeons of England (MJDF RCS, GDC 114267). That is an advanced postgraduate qualification. Our implant dentist Dr San Chatterjee has a special interest in implant dentistry (GDC 84643). Our clinical academic Dr Alaaeldin Elraggal holds a PhD in Dental Biomaterials. So he knows the research behind the materials used in restorative (repairing damaged teeth) and cosmetic dentistry.

All this postgraduate training sits in one Blackpool practice. It helps every patient who comes to Tower Dental. That includes your child. It applies whether you come for a routine examination or for composite bonding (tooth-coloured filling material shaped onto your teeth), dental implants or emergency treatment. We base our clinical decisions on strong evidence. We choose the materials carefully for each case. We give you the time your case needs. We are not limited by an NHS appointment schedule.

Patient-First Philosophy at Tower Dental Blackpool

Our philosophy is simple. We make every clinical decision in your best long-term interest. We do not make it to earn the most money per appointment. So we tell you honestly when you do not need treatment. We tell you when a cheaper option will give the same result as a more expensive one. We tell you when your case is better treated elsewhere, and we refer you to the right specialist. We tell you what treatment can realistically achieve. That includes the limits, and the upkeep it will need. We do not oversell results.

This honesty matters to us. It is the foundation of the trust our patients place in us. The 5-star patient reviews on Google for Tower Dental keep mentioning the same things. They mention the team's honesty. They mention the lack of pressure. They mention clear clinical explanations and genuine care all the way through. Patients from across Blackpool, the Fylde Coast and Lancashire keep coming back. They also refer their family and friends. That is not down to marketing or special offers. It is because the care here is really patient-focused.

"It was my son's first visit at the practice. We found everyone very welcoming and professional. My son was made to feel comfortable straight away. Treatment went smoothly and everything was explained in detail with some really good advice. We was offered a payment plan for future visits and treatments which worked out well. My son really enjoyed his time at the dentist and looks forward to returning. Thank you"

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions answered. Have more? Call 01253 353759.

When should my child first visit the dentist?

We recommend bringing your child from around 12 months of age or when their first teeth appear. Early visits are gentle and fun — getting your child used to the dental environment before any treatment is needed. This builds confidence and prevents dental anxiety developing later.

How much does children's dentistry cost at Tower Dental?

Our Children's Plan from £9.99/month covers 2 examinations per year, 1 hygienist appointment, dental X-rays, priority emergency appointments and 15% off all treatments. For non-members, a children's check-up is available — call 01253 353759 for current pricing.

What if my child is nervous about the dentist?

Our team is experienced with anxious children. We use a tell-show-do approach — explaining everything in child-friendly language, showing them the instruments and building trust before any treatment. We never force or rush a child. If they are not ready on the first visit, that is perfectly fine.

Do you offer fissure sealants for children?

Yes. Fissure sealants are a preventive treatment that protects the chewing surfaces of back teeth from decay. They are quick, comfortable and highly effective. We recommend sealants for children from age 6 when the first permanent molars appear.

Can my child join a dental plan at Tower Dental?

Yes. The Children's Plan from £9.99/month provides comprehensive preventive care including examinations, hygienist appointments and discounts on any treatments needed. There is no joining fee and no long-term contract. Call 01253 353759 to join.

At what age should my child start orthodontic assessment?

We recommend an orthodontic assessment from around age 7-8, when the adult front teeth have emerged. Early assessment can identify problems that are easier to correct while the jaw is still growing. We offer Invisalign Teen and clear aligners for older children and teenagers.

Ready to Book Your Child In?

Short, gentle visits from around 12 months old. You get a written plan and clear prices, and you take it home.

No obligation. Tell us if your child is nervous when you book and we will take extra care from the moment you arrive.
