Why Patients Travel From Plungington
Plungington sits just north of Preston city centre, which makes the 16-mile route to Tower Dental on Devonshire Road one of the simpler dental journeys in the area. For patients in Plungington, travelling to Blackpool for private dentistry often comes down to clinical depth — the Tower Dental team includes a dedicated implant specialist, a clinician with a PhD in dental biomaterials, and an associate with an endodontic (root canal) interest. That level of specialist breadth is rarely available at a local village surgery. The 26-minute drive is a reasonable trade-off for that choice.
Treatments We Offer Plungington Patients
Dental implants are a common reason patients from Plungington 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.
