Garstang Dental Referral Practice

General information

High quality specialist dental treatment, without compromise, giving people healthy, well functioning, attractive teeth and smiles.
This is Finlay and Rachel's vision since establishing the service in 2007. "We have created an environment where we provide specialist treatment and care to the highest standard possible. From our experience of additional training to specialist level, we know that the only way to achieve clinical excellence is by investing time to fully assess, plan, discuss and undertake treatment using the best quality materials and equipment, alongside a high level of customer service".
We provide a team approach in our private practice, drawing on the variety of skills of our highly trained, experienced clinicians, dental technician, qualified dental nurses and practice coordinator. This allows us to achieve the best possible treatment outcomes. Central to this approach is the patient, who is fully involved in the decision making process, enabling us to tailor their dental treatment to their needs and wishes.

We are an experienced team of dental specialists who work closely together utilizing our individual areas of expertise to enable the best possible treatment outcomes. We all share a great enthusiasm, passion and love for dentistry and are continually updating and improving our skills and knowledge. The foundation of the treatment we provide is built upon evidence based dentistry. This is the practice that integrates the best available scientific evidence with clinical experience and patient preference in clinical decisions.

Finlay Sutton and Steve Barber provide specialist restorative dentistry, prosthodontics (replacing missing teeth) and periodontal (gum disease) treatment. Restorative dentistry is a very wide discipline with many different types of treatments and techniques to master. Finlay and Steve have further developed their knowledge and skills and essentially "super-specialise” in certain areas of restorative dentistry. Often, in complex cases, both Finlay and Steve are involved in providing different types of treatment for the same patient in order to achieve the best possible outcome for each aspect of the treatment.
Finlay provides the majority of the removable prosthodontic treatment (dentures) and periodontal treatment (gum disease treatment).
Steve provides the majority of the fixed prosthodontic treatment (veneers, crowns and bridges) and periodontal surgery (gum surgery).
Rowan Garstang, dental technician, works together with Finlay and Steve producing the technical work. Please look at the Laboratory page to see how Rowan’s work enhances the service we are able to provide.
Rachel Seed provides specialist orthodontic treatment (braces for teeth straightening).
Richard Oliver, specialist in oral surgery, places dental implants and undertakes complex surgical procedures.
