Tower Dental Blackpool — Why We Are Different

A private dental check-up is a comprehensive examination that assesses the health of the teeth, gums, soft tissues, bite, jaw joints and existing restorations, including oral cancer screening and decay diagnosis with digital X-rays where clinically indicated. It is recommended every 6 months for most adults, or more frequently for higher-risk patients such as smokers or those with a history of gum disease. At Tower Dental Blackpool, every new-patient examination is carried out by Dr Sarah Metias, Dr San Chatterjee, Dr Alaaeldin Elraggal or Dr Safa Rafiq and includes a 30-minute clinical appointment, intra-oral photographs, periodontal charting, a written treatment plan and a transparent itemised quote for any work needed. Patients on our Adult Plan (from £19.60/month) receive examinations and hygiene appointments as part of the plan. The check-up is the first step before any cosmetic, implant or orthodontic treatment is recommended; we will tell you when no treatment is needed.

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.
