What can we help with?
Everyday care, cosmetic work and repairs, each with its price on the page. Anything over £500 can be spread over ten months at 0%.
Check-ups and hygiene
A thorough, unhurried exam and a proper clean, with the X-ray on the screen beside you and a plain-English answer to what changed since last time.
from £45 20–30 min
Teeth whitening
Enamel-safe whitening at home or in the chair, with the shade goal agreed together before you start and an honest word about what your teeth can reach.
from £249 2 weeks or 90 min
Clear aligners
Straighten your teeth with clear, removable aligners, planned from a 3D scan and priced whole on day one — refinements and your first retainers included.
from £1,900 4–14 months
White fillings
Tooth-coloured fillings matched to the shade of the tooth, bonded and polished flat, so you cannot feel the edge with your tongue.
from £145 40 min
Crowns
A scanned, not moulded, ceramic crown for a tooth that is cracked, heavily filled or root-treated — two visits, a temporary in between.
from £695 2 visits
Dental implants
A fixed replacement for a missing tooth, planned from a 3D X-ray and quoted whole — post, connector and crown — never in parts.
from £2,400 4–6 months
Emergency appointments
Slots held back every weekday morning for people in pain.
from £85 20 min
Composite bonding
Reshape a chipped, worn or uneven edge with tooth-coloured composite in a single visit — no drilling, and reversible, unlike veneers.
from £190 45 min a tooth
15 years on Harbour Parade
Dr Iona Craddock opened Northlight in 2011 after years of watching patients apologise for their own teeth. The rules she started with still run the place: talk before anything happens, show people what we see, and write the price down first.

What does a year of care cost?
The Northlight Plan is £19.50 a month. Here is a typical year for one adult, both ways.
| A typical year, one adult | Pay as you go | Northlight Plan |
|---|---|---|
| Membership, 12 × £19.50 | — | £234 |
| Two check-ups | £90 | Included |
| Two hygiene visits | £144 | Included |
| Routine X-rays | £30 | Included |
| One emergency appointment | £85 | Included |
| One white filling | £145 | £123.25 |
| Your year | £494 | £357.25 |
The plan saves £136.75 on this year. With no emergency and no filling, it still saves £30. Children under 12 are free on a parent’s plan.
Patients, in their own words
4.9 from 2,140 Google reviews
“I had not seen a dentist in nine years and was genuinely scared. Nobody asked why. I left with a plan, a price and a date, and I laughed in the lift.”
“They put the X-ray on the screen and just explained it. No lecture, no upsell. I finally understood my own mouth.”
“The quote on day one was the exact number I paid, refinements and all. Eleven months later my bottom teeth are straight and I wear the retainer every night.”
“Dr Craddock talked me out of veneers and into two bits of bonding. It cost a fraction and nobody can tell which teeth.”
“Rang at 8:40 with my face swollen, was in the chair by 10. The £85 came off the root canal, exactly as the website said.”
“Take-home whitening, two weeks, no sensitivity to speak of. They warned me my front filling would not change and offered to redo it. It was the right call.”

Short, practical reads on the treatments people ask us about most.
Questions we hear every week
Are you taking new patients?
Yes. New patients are usually seen within five working days, and the first visit is a £59 exam with photographs, X-rays if needed and a written plan. You can pick a time online.
Are you an NHS practice?
No, Northlight is private, which is why every price is published on this site. If you would prefer NHS care, we will say so plainly and point you to the local list.
Can I get a quote before I commit to anything?
Yes. Every exam ends with a written, itemised quote you take home. It does not expire, the number is fixed once agreed, and nothing starts without your yes.
Do you offer payment plans?
Anything over £500 can be spread across ten months at 0%, arranged at the front desk the same day. Longer terms on treatment over £2,000 carry interest, which we show in pounds.
What if I need to cancel?
Give us 24 hours’ notice and there is no charge. With less, we may ask for half the appointment fee because the slot usually cannot be filled.
Your next appointment is a minute away.
Pick a slot online, or ring the desk and Halime will find you one. New patients welcome.
