About the Practice
Where clinical
precision meets
genuine warmth
Hawthorn Dental was founded in 2009 with a single guiding principle: that outstanding private dentistry should feel as good as it looks — and that patients should always feel heard, respected, and fully informed.
Fifteen years on, that principle informs every appointment, every treatment plan, and every interaction in our practice. Our GDC-registered team brings together advanced expertise in implantology, orthodontics, and cosmetic dentistry within a culture that places patient trust above everything else.

Transparent Pricing
No surprises.
Ever.
We believe that knowing the cost of your treatment is a fundamental right, not a privilege — and that financial uncertainty should never stand between you and the care you need.
The prices below are starting figures. Every patient receives a personalised written treatment plan with a full cost breakdown before any work begins. This is our commitment to you — and a requirement of our GDC registration.
Our price promise: If your treatment plan changes for any clinical reason, you will always be informed and given a revised written estimate before we proceed. You will never be charged more than you agreed to in writing.
