About us

Orthodontic specialists in the centre of Sevenoaks.

From our clinic at 49 London Road we straighten teeth for children, teenagers and adults, and we welcome both NHS and private orthodontic patients.

Why a dedicated orthodontic clinic matters.

Braces and aligners are not a sideline here. They are the only work we do. The building was designed around specialist orthodontics and fitted with up-to-date orthodontic equipment, and a Specialist Orthodontist designs your plan and carries out your care.

Depending on your teeth and how you live, we might suggest Invisalign® clear aligners, tooth-coloured ceramic braces, traditional metal braces or lingual braces fixed behind the teeth. Under-18s who meet the NHS criteria can be treated on the NHS. At your first appointment we talk through each option openly and set out what it costs.

The clinic belongs to Portman Dental Care, a UK dental group. That gives our team in Sevenoaks the backing of a wider organisation, while your appointments and your orthodontist stay right here in town.
