About
Fourteen years on Northgate Street.
A short version of who we are, who you will meet, and why the booking system exists in the first place.
Our story
Opened in 2011, on the same street since.
Northgate Dental opened in 2011, when Aisha Bello took the lease on the ground floor at 14 Northgate Street and set up a two-surgery practice with one hygienist. Fourteen years on it is a practice on the same site, with the same address on the door and, for anyone who has been coming that long, some of the same faces.
What has not changed is the reason the practice exists: dentistry that does not need a morning off work to arrange. The four-step booking system on this site is the newest version of that idea rather than a new one; the same commitment used to mean a receptionist who picked up the phone on the second ring.
The people you will meet
Three clinicians, and a fourth from September.
Every clinician here is registered with the General Dental Council; the numbers are on the team section of the homepage. Aisha Bello is the principal dentist and has been here since the practice opened. Rob Kearns joined in 2016 and leads implant work. Maria Oliveira is the hygienist most patients see twice a year, and from September she is joined by a second hygienist, Priya Shah.

Our approach
Comfort first, and equipment that keeps pace.
- Treatment plans explained, and priced, before anything starts
- Digital x-rays and an intraoral camera, so you see what we see
- Nervous patients and access needs noted at booking, not discovered on arrival
- The same online diary the front desk uses: no separate system, no gap between the two
