A specialist private clinic for dental and self-referrals

Colchester Dental Specialist Centre provides a wide range of advanced services, including dental implants, on behalf of referring general dentists.

Our clinicians provide a multitude of treatments under one roof, ranging from ‘all on four’ and ‘all on six’ dental implants for missing teeth, to correction of dental problems and complex care. We offer a multidisciplinary approach on site to support delivery of an outstanding patient experience and lasting treatment outcomes.

Our specialists and surgeons are qualified. Most are involved in research or teaching and examining at universities. Ask us about the continuous professional development courses that we provide for general dentists, or how we support clinicians when needed.

At Colchester Dental Specialist Centre, we offer our advanced dental treatments within an exclusive, relaxed environment. Our appointments are comforting and unrushed, providing a calming environment for patients to talk through their options. Our dedicated treatment coordinators will help facilitate a smooth journey through the practice, keeping patients informed every step of the way.

Our self-referral services

Most patients are referred to us by their dentists, which ensures we can get them seen by the most suitable clinician. We also accept self-referrals for dental treatments including dental implants, tooth extraction, root canal treatment, periodontal treatment and orthodontics. We are experienced in handling complex treatment plans and dental issues, and we offer sedation for most treatments.

If you have not been referred by a dentist but would still like to visit, please get in touch to discuss the treatments and services we have available.

Our facilities and equipment

At Colchester Specialist Dental Centre, we have five surgeries and specialist equipment to support precision diagnostics, planning and treatment. These include three high-powered microscopes for endodontic work and a low-dose CBCT scanner for 3D imaging. We offer IV or inhalation sedation for certain treatments. We follow strict guidance for procedures under conscious sedation, which can be discussed at consultation.

We have two digital scanners which allow patients to visualise their treatment, and we use rotary endo motors for all root canal treatment and bespoke systems to support success rates. We generally place Straumann implants at the practice, however we are able to place all implants systems. We use high quality aesthetic labs for all our restorative work and take pride in providing high quality and long-lasting results for our patients.

Branded treatments and services

Whitening can be an important part of a smile makeover. We always check the suitability of your teeth, as it may not be recommended for some patients with high sensitivity. It’s important to know that we may not be able to treat all of your teeth: whitening can’t alter the colour of fillings, crowns, veneers, for example. Your dentist can explain and suggest any options open to you.

We do understand that some people really struggle with dental treatment. But we have lots of ways to help put you at ease. Please just tell us how you feel and what worries you, and then we can work together to decide on the right approach.

Generally we recommend twice yearly check-ups every six months. However, this varies on a case by case basis. Your Bupa Dental Care dentist will talk to you about when and how often we need to see you.

No, Bupa Dental Care practices are open to everyone. If you do have Bupa dental insurance, at selected practices we can guide you through your claim.

First, please check that our practice offers the services you’re looking for, then simply use the referral form on our contact page. Do feel free to give us a call and tell us what you’re looking for.
