Dentist and founder

BDS (Bristol), MJDF RCS (Eng). On Mercer Street since 2011. Registered with the General Dental Council.

A note from Dr. Halden

I trained at a big dental hospital and loved the work, but I saw patients once and rarely again. I wanted to be the dentist who remembers that you hate the suction, that your filling on the lower left is fifteen years old, and that your daughter is braver than you are.

So we stay small. Two dentists, one hygienist, Clara at the desk, and enough time in each appointment to explain what we see. If a treatment can wait, we'll tell you. If it can't, we'll show you why.

Come in for a first appointment and judge for yourself.
