Why Patients Travel From Ribbleton
Ribbleton sits on the eastern side of Preston off the B6243, which makes the 17-mile route to Tower Dental on Devonshire Road one of the simpler dental journeys in the area. For patients in Ribbleton, 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 27-minute drive is a reasonable trade-off for that choice.
Treatments We Offer Ribbleton Patients
General dentistry makes up the bulk of what Ribbleton patients book at Tower Dental: routine check-ups, hygienist appointments, fillings, crowns, and root canal treatment. Our Adult and Children's Plans cover the majority of routine care for a fixed monthly cost. We also offer cosmetic dentistry — veneers, composite bonding, whitening — and advanced care including dental implants and Invisalign orthodontics.

The reception team is happy to arrange back-to-back appointments where clinically sensible, and we can offer early morning or late afternoon slots for patients who are travelling around work commitments.
