At York Place Dental, exceptional care doesn't happen by chance - it is structured.
We operate a carefully designed, team-based model where every clinician works within a defined area of expertise. This allows us to deliver outstanding prevention, advanced restorative dentistry and high-level cosmetic treatment, all under one roof.
This isn't about dividing care. It's about refining it.
It ensures you are always seeing the right clinician, at the right time, for the right reason.
Prevention Led by Our Dental Therapists
Prevention is the foundation of everything we do.
Kim and Rachel
Rachel and Kim lead many of our Dental Examinations, ensuring strong, healthy smiles.
As highly trained Dental Therapists, they carry out meticulous exams, children's dentistry, hygiene therapy and restorative treatments such as fillings. Their role is centred on protecting long-term oral health, identifying subtle changes early, monitoring gum stability and maintaining clinical consistency over time.
They safeguard the foundation on which every healthy smile is built.
The Purpose of Your Dental Examination
A Dental Examination is fundamentally about ensuring Healthy Foundations.
It is a structured clinical assessment designed to:
- Assess risk
- Monitor gum condition
- Screen for disease
- Detect early changes
- Preserve what you already have
Examinations are not primarily about planning cosmetic or complex treatment. They are about protecting stability and maintaining health.
When treatment planning becomes more advanced - involving cosmetic smile design, complex restorative care or surgical procedures – you will be seen by one of our dentists who will lead the next phase with precision and expertise.
Because we work as an integrated clinical team, that progression is seamless.
Our structured, team-based care model means that each stage is led by the clinician whose expertise aligns most closely with your needs.
Health is protected first. Everything else builds from there.

Why This Model Is Better for Patients
