Fennel Dental — Bristol

Dentistry that explains itself.

No jargon, no surprise invoices, no rushing you out of the chair. Careful work, clearly explained — from a six-month check-up to the thing you have been putting off for years.

The daily essentials

We want to be part of your ordinary week, not just your emergencies. Check-ups, cleanings, the small repairs that stop being small if you leave them — and a straight answer when you are wondering whether that twinge is worth worrying about.

What we do

Four things, done properly.

We are a general practice, not a menu of eighty procedures. Everything below is quoted before we start, and nothing happens in your mouth that you did not agree to first.

01 — Every six months

Check-ups & cleanings

A proper look, a proper clean, and a plain-English summary of what we found. Forty minutes, no upsell at the end.

From £65
02 — When something breaks

Fillings & repairs

Tooth-coloured composite, crowns, and the root canal nobody looks forward to. You get the quote and the alternatives before the drill comes out.

From £145
03 — Over six to eighteen months

Clear aligners

Straightening for adults who do not want a mouth full of metal. We scan, we model it, and we show you the finish line before you commit.

From £2,400 · payment plans
04 — Today, if we can

Emergencies

We hold slots back every day for pain. Call before ten and you will usually be seen the same afternoon, whether or not you are our patient.

£95 assessment
New patients

Nobody has ever been told off in this building.

If it has been eight years, we already know. Come in, let us have a look, and we will build a plan you can afford in the order that matters most. There is no lecture at the end of it.

01

A written quote before anything starts — including the option of doing nothing yet.

02

Direct billing to most major insurers, so you are not chasing a reimbursement.

03

A free fifteen-minute chat first, if you would rather meet us before booking.
