About us
A dental clinic has stood on our little part of Town Street for more than 70 years.
So when principal dentist Brad Thornton set up Ivory Dental in 2010, he knew he was continuing a proud and long-lasting legacy. He must be doing something right – some of our patients have been registered with the clinic for more than 50 years.
Others are third-generation patients whose parents, grandparents and great-grandparents were among the practice’s first visitors all those years ago.

The biggest complement we receive is when our patients refer their friends and family to Ivory Dental. In fact, we have built much of our practice on these valued, trusted recommendations over the years. Read our reviews to hear why our patients are recommending us…

I have just finished my treatment at Ivory Dentist and cannot praise them enough. Zain was amazing and explained everything down to the last bit even in terms that I fully understood , made me feel fully relaxed and felt I could and did ask anything . Also his nurse Lucy , we have had a laugh which makes going to the Dentist more pleasurable . Even when I had a question out of hours he was always at the end of an email . Also front of house staff Emma the manager and all the reception staff are so professional and friendly, and very easy to talk to. We have had a giggle which when going to the Dentist is fabulous .<br>Very relaxing.<br>Very happy.<br>Would definitely Recommend

Dentist, Jack, always puts me at ease. Receptionist went over and above to accommodate me when I arrived on the wrong day for my appointment (I arrived a day too early) and managed to fit me in that day. She was really kind and I am very grateful.

The particular clinician I was dealing with is someone I have followed to three different practices because of their gentle and considerate approach to treatment
