A local dentist when you need it: Sunderland practice covers city and surrounding villages

Finding a dental practice that’s accepting new patients can be tricky. Finding one with good transport links, state-of-the-art facilities, all at an affordable price, is harder still.

But one Sunderland practice prides itself in offering everything under one roof, making it a reliable one-stop-shop for all things dentistry.

At City Dental – which is accepting new patients – they like to do things differently. Of course, they have fully qualified dentists, dental nurses and hygienists ready to treat patients. But for more complex situations – like restorative dentistry, crowns, dentures and braces – they have their own laboratory and technicians on site. This easy access to all disciplines makes for a more joined up, often quicker service, and helps keep costs down.

City Dental co-owner Colin Caster, who runs the business with Mark Maley, says this approach is really good for clients.

“We hear every day from new patients who have really struggled to find a practice taking on new customers, or to get an appointment within a reasonable time.

“We offer same week appointments – faster if required – and have all the experts in-house. That means whether the appointment is a first time dental visit for a toddler, a complicated tooth fracture repair or ongoing restorative work to save crumbling teeth or repair old dentures and bridges, we have people on site ready to help.”

The practice is based in Seaburn, and has ample parking nearby. It’s also on major bus routes, so getting there from surrounding villages or from across Sunderland is simple.

Simplicity is also at the heart of City Dental’s ethos; monthly dental plans make care affordable for all the family, and there are finance options available for ongoing treatment.

Colin added: “The strain on NHS dentistry means there can be limited options for patients looking to join a practice. We like to think that we offer an affordable alternative; our plans start from just £9.95 a month for denture plans, and £16.95 for our Dentaplan.

“These include routine check-ups, hygienist reviews twice a year, and small X-rays are included in the price. The Dentaplan even includes check-ups for your kids.”
