Check-ups & hygiene
Thorough examinations, gentle scale and polish, and practical advice for keeping gums healthy between visits.
Family & general dentistry
Unhurried dental care, in a house that feels like one.
Check-ups, repairs and gentle treatment for every age — explained in plain language, planned around you, and never rushed.
Time to talk
Longer appointments, so questions get proper answers.
Clear written plans
Options and costs agreed before any treatment begins.
Comfort first
A calm pace, breaks when you need them, and no judgement.
Our approach
Dentistry that starts with listening.
Umber House is a small, independent practice built around a simple idea: people look after their teeth better when they understand what is happening and feel at ease in the chair.
We keep our diary unhurried, show you what we see on the screen, and talk through every option — including the option to wait and watch. Prevention always comes first.
- Welcoming new patients of all ages
- Early-morning and evening appointments
- Written treatment plans with costs up front

Your first visit
What to expect when you walk in
New to Umber House, or simply haven't been to a dentist in a while? Here is how a first appointment usually unfolds.
A proper conversation
We start away from the chair, talking about your history, worries and what you'd like to achieve.
A gentle examination
A full check of teeth, gums and soft tissues, with images shared on screen as we go.
Your options, explained
We walk through what we found and every reasonable choice, including doing nothing for now.
A plan you take home
You leave with a written plan and costs, and time to decide without pressure.
Nervous patients
Anxious about the dentist? You're in good company.
Many of our patients arrive worried. We go at your speed and make sure you always feel in control of what happens next.
A stop signal
Raise a hand at any moment and we pause — no questions, no hurry.
Meet-first visits
Come in just to talk and see the room before booking any treatment.
Quiet comforts
Headphones, blankets and a calm, low-noise surgery to help you settle.
Step-by-step care
Treatment split into shorter sessions whenever that feels easier.
Questions
Good to know before you book
Are you taking on new patients?
Yes. Adults and children are welcome — just send a request below and we'll find a time that suits you.
How often should I have a check-up?
It depends on your oral health. Some patients need a visit every few months, others far less often. We'll recommend an interval that fits you rather than a fixed rule.
When should my child first see a dentist?
Around the time their first teeth appear is ideal. Early visits are short and relaxed, mainly helping children get used to the surroundings.
What should I do if I'm in pain?
Mention it in your booking request and choose "Urgent appointment". We set time aside each day for patients in discomfort and will prioritise your request.
Will I know the cost before treatment?
Always. You receive a written plan with costs before anything begins, and nothing extra is carried out without your agreement.
