Private Dental Care for Penwortham Patients
Tower Dental is a private practice — not NHS. Patients from Penwortham typically register with us because they want no waiting lists, access to advanced treatments (particularly dental implants led by Dr San Chatterjee MID RCS Edinburgh) and a consistent clinician who knows their mouth over time.
Our monthly membership plan starts at £19.60/month and covers your check-ups, hygiene appointments, X-rays, unlimited emergencies and a 15% discount on all treatment. Children are covered from £9.99/month. Plans include worldwide dental accident cover for adults.
For larger treatments — implants, veneers, Invisalign, full smile makeovers — 0% finance is available over 6 or 10 months subject to status. You receive a full written quote at consultation with no hidden fees and no pressure to proceed on the day.
Common Questions from Penwortham Patients
Why would someone from Penwortham travel to Blackpool instead of Preston?

Call 01253 353759 or book online. You don't need to notify your current dentist — registering with us is independent. Your first visit is a comprehensive 45-minute new-patient exam with full assessment, X-rays if needed and a written plan.
Do you see children from Penwortham?
Yes — children are welcome from age 3. Children's membership starts at £9.99/month and covers routine care. For siblings, we can book back-to-back appointments so you only need one trip to Tower Dental from Penwortham.
