A warm welcome to The Smile Centre Canterbury
Located in the city centre of Canterbury, The Smile Centre Canterbury has been providing dental care to the local community for over 20 years. We’re a modern, fully private dental practice offering a wide range of dental treatments and services.
Our practice offers a warm, relaxing environment for you to have your treatment in. You can relax in our luxurious, comfy waiting room with free Wi-Fi and refreshments while you wait for your appointment.
Our treatments and services
At our practice, we offer a range of treatments from general check-ups, emergency appointments and hygiene appointments to more complex treatments such as dental implants, orthodontics and endodontics. We can also offer cosmetic dental treatments including teeth whitening and veneers to help brighten your smile.
We’re lucky enough to have two specialists at our practice in the fields of orthodontics and endodontics. We can also provide a variety of orthodontic treatments including fixed metal braces and Invisalign aligners if you’re looking to discreetly transform your smile.
Dental implants in Canterbury
At The Smile Centre Canterbury, we offer dental implants to help you discreetly replace missing teeth. We can also provide smile in a day treatment, which uses four to six dental implants replace a whole arch of missing teeth and are usually fitted all in the same day. What we do at our practice is underpinned by modern, digital technology to ensure predictable and accurate treatment outcomes for our patients.
Our dental referral services
At our practice, we accept referrals from other dentists. Our practice has its own CBCT scanner which is available to both patients of the surgery and as a standalone service for external referrals. We’re also able to make crowns and mouthguards on-site. For more information, please see our dentist referrals information.
Services for nervous patients
We understand that some people are anxious about visiting the dentist. We’re very experienced with nervous patients and will support you every step of the way with your dental treatment. Please get in touch if you’re particularly nervous and we’ll be more than happy to help put you at ease.
Finding The Smile Centre Canterbury
We’re located opposite the city wall, very close to a range of city centre car parks, Canterbury East railway station and the main city bus terminal. We offer extended hours with early morning, and early evening appointments available, as well as some Saturdays. If you’d like to book an appointment, please get in touch. We’ll be more than happy to help.

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.
