The Complete Guide to Private Dental Care at Tower Dental Blackpool
Private dental care in Blackpool has been transformed by the presence of Tower Dental at 302a Devonshire Road FY2 0TW. For the first time, patients across Blackpool and the Fylde Coast have access to Royal College-qualified dentists, specialist-level implant expertise, premium cosmetic dental materials and a genuinely patient-centred approach — all within their local community, without the need to travel to Manchester or Liverpool for specialist-level private care.
What Makes Private Dentistry Different at Tower Dental
The distinction between NHS and private dental care is not simply one of cost — it is a fundamental difference in what is clinically possible within each system. NHS dentistry operates within strict material and time constraints that limit what can be achieved, even with the best intentions of the treating dentist. Private dentistry at Tower Dental has no such constraints. Appointments are as long as the clinical situation requires. Materials are selected on the basis of quality and clinical appropriateness rather than NHS band pricing. Treatments that are not available on the NHS — composite bonding, porcelain veneers, Invisalign, dental implants, professional whitening — are all available at Tower Dental to patients from across Blackpool, the Fylde Coast and Lancashire.
Evidence-Based Dentistry at Tower Dental Blackpool
Every treatment recommendation at Tower Dental is grounded in the best available clinical evidence. Dr Alaaeldin Elraggal's active role as a Clinical Lecturer at the University of Manchester means that the practice's approach to materials, techniques and treatment planning is continuously informed by the most current dental research. Our team regularly attends continuing professional development events, studies postgraduate literature including the British Dental Journal and the Journal of Dentistry, and applies evidence-based protocols to every clinical situation. Patients at Tower Dental benefit from dentistry that is not just technically skilled but scientifically current.
Digital Technology at Tower Dental Blackpool
Tower Dental uses digital impression technology for crowns, veneers and implant restorations — eliminating the discomfort and gagging that traditional putty impressions cause, producing more accurate results, and reducing the laboratory turnaround time. Digital smile design software allows patients to preview proposed cosmetic changes before any treatment begins. Our AI-powered smile simulator on the website allows prospective patients to explore treatment options with a personalised before-and-after simulation from their own photograph. These technologies reflect Tower Dental's commitment to making the patient experience as comfortable, transparent and empowering as possible at every stage of the dental journey.
CQC Regulation and GDC Registration — Your Assurance of Quality

Dr Sarah Metias is the CQC Registered Manager of the practice — taking personal regulatory accountability for every aspect of clinical safety and quality at Tower Dental. All dentists at Tower Dental are registered with the General Dental Council (GDC), which sets and enforces standards for the dental profession in the UK and requires all practitioners to maintain ongoing continuing professional development.
