Getting here from Prestbury

We’re at 19 Bollington Road, Bollington, SK10 5EJ. Head out of the village towards Tytherington and follow the road into Bollington; you’ll find us on the main road with parking immediately adjacent. Most patients make it door to door in under ten minutes.

What your first appointment here looks like

Everything starts with the £89 new patient examination, and it follows a set rhythm.

1. A proper conversation comes first: your dental history, anything that worries you, anything you would like to improve.
2. Then a methodical check of every tooth, your gums, any existing crowns or fillings, your bite and the soft lining of your mouth, with digital X-rays taken and included in the fee whenever they are needed.
3. The final part is the one patients tell us they value most: your dentist sits with you, shows you the images, and explains what is going on in words rather than jargon.

Anything recommended is put into a written plan with the cost of each item alongside it, and you take that plan away rather than deciding under any pressure in the chair. For many Prestbury patients the outcome is simply a hygiene appointment and a recall date, which is exactly as it should be when a mouth is healthy. When more is needed, you will know precisely what, why and how much before anything is booked.

Getting here is part of the appeal. From Prestbury you head through Tytherington and into Bollington without going anywhere near the town centre, so there is no one-way system to sit in and no car park charge at the end of it; you pull in beside the practice and walk straight in. It is the sort of journey that makes keeping six-monthly appointments easy rather than a chore.

How our pricing works

Published before you ring, written before we start

Private dentistry has a reputation for vagueness about money, so we go the other way entirely. Every fee is published on our fees page before you ever ring us, and no treatment beyond the examination itself starts until you hold a written plan setting out what is proposed and what it costs. If a plan needs to change once we can see more, the revised cost is agreed with you first, never presented afterwards.

What a written plan actually contains

A written plan here is not a printout of codes, either. It lists each item of treatment in everyday language, the fee against each line, the order things will happen in and roughly how many visits to expect, so you can budget properly and weigh options at leisure. Bring questions back to us whenever you like; explaining a plan twice costs nothing and prevents every misunderstanding that matters.

The dental plan, if you prefer a monthly figure

For ongoing care, many patients from Prestbury and Tytherington join our dental plan at £15.95 a month. It includes an annual examination with mouth cancer screening, two hygiene visits a year, routine X-rays, 15% off most treatments and worldwide dental emergency cover, so trouble on holiday abroad is covered too. The plan turns dental care into a predictable monthly amount instead of an occasional unwelcome surprise, which is precisely how preventive dentistry ought to feel.

Emergencies are priced the same way, at the standard published fees rather than an inflated urgent rate, so a bad day is not made worse at the desk. And where a treatment genuinely has options at different price points, the choice is laid out with the differences explained, then left with you. Money conversations happen before care, in plain figures, which is where they belong.

If dental visits make you anxious

Some of our most settled patients arrived as our most reluctant ones. If appointments make you tense, or you have avoided booking altogether because of something that happened years ago, tell us when you call. Anxious patients are given longer appointments on purpose, each stage is described before it begins rather than announced halfway through, and you control the pace from start to finish. Agree a signal with your dentist and the moment you use it, everything stops.

There is no clever trick beyond patience. A village practice depends on relationships that last decades, and unhurried time is the thing anxiety responds to best. Confidence tends to return one calm visit at a time, and we are happy to build it that slowly.

Nothing on this page asks you to be brave, either. You can tell us as little or as much as you like about why dentistry is hard for you; the accommodations are made regardless, because they cost us nothing but scheduling.

It also helps that you will see the same faces. The team is small enough that reception recognises regular patients’ voices on the phone, and familiarity is half the battle with nerves; walking into a room where people know your name is a very different experience from taking a ticket in a waiting hall.

Away from the dentist for years, or thinking of switching?

No judgement about the gap

Long gaps happen: house moves, small children, work, or a practice that closed its list. Whatever the reason, you will not be judged for it here, and you will not be lectured either. We look at what your mouth needs now and set out a sensible order for dealing with it. If you fear the worst after a long absence, read our plain-speaking guide to what long-neglected teeth usually need; most mouths are far more rescuable than their owners believe.

Moving from another practice

Moving from another practice involves less admin than switching energy supplier. There is nothing to cancel and nobody to notify; book an examination with us and, where earlier records or X-rays would genuinely help, we can request them with your consent. Nothing waits on that paperwork, because your first examination gathers everything we need to begin.

Expect the first appointment after a long gap to be about listening as much as looking. What happened last time, what you are worried about now, what you want out of coming back: these shape the plan as much as the X-rays do. Rebuilding the habit is the real project, and the treatment usually turns out to be the easier half.

Nearly fifty years in the same community

The practice was founded by David King in 1977 and has been handed down rather than sold on: it grew under Heather Belfield, whose patients have trusted her here for over thirty years, and it is now led by Dr Ellie Burrows. Three principals across five decades, each carrying forward the same idea, that an independent practice serving the villages around it should behave like a neighbour rather than a brand.

You will spot the name around the area too. We sponsor:

• Macclesfield FC
• Bollington United FC, children’s teams
• Bollington Cricket Club, children’s teams

Supporting the junior sides that local children actually play for says more about our priorities than any advertisement could.

Independence shapes the daily decisions patients feel without necessarily naming. There are no targets handed down from anywhere, no incentive to steer you towards a particular treatment, and no churn of unfamiliar clinicians. The dentist who learns your history keeps it, and the advice you receive is the advice the team would give their own families. Some families have been on the books across generations, and that continuity is the measurement we are proudest of.

Appointments for children and the whole household

Families from Prestbury often book together, stacking appointments so one short drive through the lanes covers everybody. Children can come as soon as their first teeth arrive, and wherever possible we aim to offer NHS care for children free of charge. A toddler’s early visits are deliberately gentle: a look, a count, plenty of reassurance, and home again with the whole thing framed as an outing rather than an ordeal. Our page on preparing for a child’s first dental visit is worth five minutes before you come.

The habit we most want to build is the boring one: regular, uneventful check-ups from a young age, with prevention doing the heavy lifting so treatment is rarely needed. Children who grow up seeing the dentist as routine become adults who never develop the fear an earlier section of this page exists for.

Teenagers are looked after thoughtfully too, from advice on protecting teeth during sport to frank conversations about fizzy drinks and brushing, and later the cosmetic questions they begin asking. Building that trust early means that when a teenager chips a tooth, the first instinct in the household is simply to ring us.

Practical family logistics

These are handled with common sense.

• Small children can watch a parent’s check-up before their own turn, so the chair loses its mystery
• Siblings are seen one after another
• Appointment times around school pick-up are always in demand, so mention timing constraints when you book and we will plan around them where we can
