Why Patients Travel From Birkdale
From Birkdale PR8, Tower Dental is 20 miles via the A565. What brings patients from Birkdale through to Blackpool tends to be treatment-specific: cosmetic dentistry where the 3D preview at the £40 Smile Consultation helps them see the outcome before committing; dental implants where our implant specialist Dr San Chatterjee handles the full pathway; or emergency appointments where same-day slots are available Monday to Saturday. For patients in Sefton, Merseyside, that combination is uncommon locally.
Treatments We Offer Birkdale Patients
Dental implants are a common reason patients from Birkdale travel to Tower Dental. Our implant specialist Dr San Chatterjee (GDC 84643) handles the full pathway — from initial 3D CBCT planning through to surgical placement and the final prosthesis. Single implants start from £2,380 and All-on-4 full-arch cases are available. We also offer porcelain veneers, Invisalign, composite bonding, teeth whitening, and comprehensive general dentistry.

What Birkdale Patients Typically Come For
Many patients from Birkdale initially contact Tower Dental for a specific treatment — typically cosmetic work, an implant case, or an Invisalign course — and then transfer their routine dental care to the practice on a membership plan. The Adult Plan at £19.60/month covers two check-ups, four hygienist visits, x-rays and a 10% discount on further treatment. This pattern works well for patients who value having their routine and advanced care under one clinical team.
