Tower Dental Blackpool — Why We Are Different

Tower Dental Blackpool at 302a Devonshire Road FY2 0TW is not a typical dental practice. We are an advanced private dental practice that happens to be located in Blackpool — combining the convenience and accessibility of a local practice with the clinical depth, qualifications and quality of materials that most patients would expect to find only at a hospital or specialist referral centre. Our principal dentist Dr Sarah Metias holds the Membership of the Joint Dental Faculties from the Royal College of Surgeons London (MJDF RCS, GDC 114267) — a qualification held by fewer than 5% of UK dentists. Our implant dentist Dr San Chatterjee holds the Membership in Implant Dentistry from the Royal College of Surgeons Edinburgh (MID RCS, GDC 84643) — the gold standard qualification for implant dentistry in the UK. Our clinical academic Dr Alaaeldin Elraggal holds a PhD in Dental Biomaterials from the University of Manchester and is a Clinical Lecturer at the University — bringing genuine research-level expertise in the materials used in restorative and cosmetic dentistry.

This concentration of Royal College-level qualification and postgraduate expertise within a single Blackpool dental practice is extraordinary — and it directly benefits every patient who attends Tower Dental, whether they are coming for a routine examination, composite bonding, dental implants or emergency treatment. The clinical decisions made at Tower Dental are informed by the deepest available evidence base. The materials chosen are the best available for each clinical situation. The time allocated to each patient is determined by what the case requires, not by the constraints of an NHS appointment schedule.

Patient-First Philosophy at Tower Dental Blackpool

The philosophy at Tower Dental is simple: every clinical decision is made in the patient's best long-term interest, not in the interest of generating the highest possible revenue per appointment. This means we tell patients honestly when treatment is not needed. We tell them when a less expensive option will achieve the same outcome as a more expensive one. We tell them when their case falls outside the scope of what we can most appropriately treat in-house and refer them to the right specialist. We tell them what the realistic outcomes of treatment are, including the limitations and the need for ongoing maintenance, rather than overselling results.

This honesty is rare in private dentistry and it is the foundation of the trust our patients place in us. The 209 five-star Google reviews that give Tower Dental its 4.9-star rating consistently mention the team's honesty, the lack of pressure, the quality of the clinical explanations and the genuine care shown throughout the patient journey. Patients from across Blackpool, the Fylde Coast and Lancashire continue to return to Tower Dental and to refer their family and friends — not because of marketing or special offers, but because the clinical and human experience at Tower Dental is genuinely exceptional.

Accessibility and Membership at Tower Dental

Private dentistry at the highest level should not be accessible only to those with significant disposable income.

From £9.99 per month for children and from £19.60 per month for adults, the membership plans cover two examinations per year, two hygienist appointments, unlimited emergency consultations, worldwide dental accident insurance and 15% off all treatments. 0% interest-free finance over 6 or 10 months is available on all treatment plans. Subject to status. Every patient receives a full written quote before any treatment begins — there are never any surprises.

When should my child first visit the dentist?
We recommend bringing your child from around 12 months of age or when their first teeth appear. Early visits are gentle and fun — getting your child used to the dental environment before any treatment is needed. This builds confidence and prevents dental anxiety developing later.

"It was my son's first visit at the practice. We found everyone very welcoming and professional. My son was made to feel comfortable straight away. Treatment went smoothly and everything was explained in detail with some really good advice. We was offered a payment plan for future visits and treatments which worked out well. My son really enjoyed his time at the dentist and looks forward to returning. Thank you"
