About Us

Welcome to Heswall Dental Practice

Thank you for visiting Heswall Dental Practice. We are a six surgery family dental practice located in Heswall town centre on Wirral Peninsula. In 2018, Heswall Dental Practice changed ownership and was purchased by Kate Preston, Kate Shaw and Luke Sergeant. The practice underwent extensive modernisation and refurbishment ensuring that our patients have access to the latest equipment and technology. We provide high quality care for both NHS and private dental patients in a warm, welcoming environment and are currently accepting new private patients. 

We offer a range of general and cosmetic dental services including the treatment of dental decay and gum disease; restorations such as crowns, bridges and veneers; dental implants; tooth whitening and tooth straightening (Invisalign).

Our team of professional dentists and dental nurses are committed to providing patients with the highest standard of care and we go that extra mile to guarantee a pleasant experience.
