At your first NHS consultation at Serene Dental Practice, your dentist will carry out a full examination of your teeth, gums, and mouth. This may include x-rays if needed. You’ll receive advice on maintaining your oral health and, if treatment is required, a clear plan outlining what’s needed, which NHS band it falls under, and the associated cost. It’s a relaxed, informative visit designed to get you on the right path to a healthy smile.
Treatment times vary depending on the procedure. Simple treatments like check-ups or fillings may take 20–40 minutes, while more complex care such as crowns, dentures, or root canals might require multiple visits over a few weeks. Your dentist will give you a personalised timeline at your consultation.
Most NHS treatments involve little to no downtime. After minor procedures like fillings or cleanings, you can return to daily activities right away. Some treatments—such as extractions or oral surgery—may cause temporary soreness or swelling, and we’ll provide aftercare instructions to support a smooth recovery.
The longevity of NHS dental treatments depends on the procedure and your oral hygiene habits. Fillings can last several years, crowns and dentures often last 5–15 years, and preventive treatments help avoid future issues. Regular check-ups and good at-home care can significantly extend the life of your treatment.

Absolutely incredible dentist - I’m petrified of going to the dentist and had a lot of issues that needed fixing and everyone involved in my care was brilliant and so patient and comforting - The dentist herself is so skilled at what she does and very thorough in checking how I was during my tooth - absolutely brilliantPosted on Google![]()

What an amazing 5 star service. My brother has not been able to get a NHS dentist for many years in Bradford and the waiting list is huge! Thank goodness Serene Dental Limited in Donnington are taking patients from far and wide and have provided him with his much needed NHS dental treatment. Angela on reception has made him feel so welcome and comfortable which has made a huge difference to lowering his anxiety towards dental treatment. He is so happy and said it is worth the drive and the dental team have been fantastic in giving him the best care with lots of patience.Posted on Google![]()

They're great with getting things done when needed, but when it comes to answering the phone to cancel or rebook appointments they never answer. Been trying to contact them for the past two days and it always rings out no matter the time between calls.Posted on Google![]()

We visited as a family as new patients earlier this month. Don't be put off by the exterior as it's literally a doorway between 2 shops as the practice itself it on the upper floor. The staff were extremely polite and understanding of our little girl that needs extra support and sensory seeking behaviors. This includes the clerical staff as well as the dental team! Thank you guys, see you in a couple weeks for my fillings 😭🤣Posted on Google![]()

We saw an article on the BBC news site about this practice having a large number of NHS spaces available, having spent a small fortune on private dental care that wasn't sustainable I reached out to the practice to register myself and family, within half an hour Angela came back to me on email and registered all of us and booked us a family appointment two weeks later which we have attended today, both Angela and Sophie on reception were very welcoming and explained everything thoroughly to get us registered on the system, we all saw Shabnam who was very thorough with our exams, nothing felt rushed, we have a toddler who can get emotional in these type of settings but nothing was any trouble and although our little girl wasn't letting Shabnam give her a full examination we did receive ample advice of the little one's dental care, seems like a decent caring practice and no more paying ££££ on private dental care 🎉it's worth noting for patients with mobility issues the practice is all on the 1st floor.
