About the practice

A calm, modern practice in the heart of Atherton

Alice St Dental has been locally owned since 2005. Practice manager Natalie Eakin started here as a trainee dental assistant in 2003 and became the owner in 2024, so the people who greet you have known many of our families for twenty years.

Our 2021 expansion brought light-filled surgeries with garden views, low-dose digital OPG and 3D imaging, CEREC same-day crowns, and a lounge that feels more like a living room than a waiting room.

  • Five dentists plus a dedicated hygiene and oral health team
  • Digital OPG and 3D imaging, plus same-day CEREC ceramic crowns
  • Relaxed rooms designed to put nervous patients at ease
More about the practice
The first thing people notice about you are your eyes, the second thing is your smile. We wish every smile to be a confident smile.
The Alice St Dental philosophy
Children's dentistry

Little smiles are welcome here

First visits should be fun. Our oral health therapist Andrea and the whole team explain everything in kid-friendly language, and there's a colouring table, a welcome gift for new patients and plenty of high-fives.

Eligible children can receive care under the children's dental scheme. Just ask our reception team when you book.

"Super amazing staff and the dentist made the experience so much more enjoyable for our daughter, she wasn't scared or terrified like our previous visits."

Hygiene & prevention

Prevention is better than cure

Regular hygiene visits are the simplest way to avoid fillings, gum disease and tooth loss. Our hygienist Mary-Ann and oral health therapist Andrea remove the build-up a toothbrush can't reach, check your gums, and show you the techniques that suit your mouth.

  • Professional scale, clean and polish with a gum health check
  • Fluoride treatments and custom-fitted mouthguards
  • Practical home-care advice for every age
