The Terrace Dental Clinic

Everything Under One Roof

A family of dental experts, with our own lab on site

One team, from your first visit to your finished smile


We’re not three separate businesses that happen to share an address. We’re one family of clinicians and technicians who have worked side by side for years, who know each other’s hands as well as they know your name.

When you come to us, your care isn’t parcelled out or posted off. It stays right here, with the same trusted team, from your very first consultation to the moment you walk out smiling.

That’s the quiet advantage of doing everything under one roof: nothing gets lost in translation, nobody gets passed around, and there’s always someone who knows your story.

From the lab bench to your local practice

From a trusted dental laboratory to a complete dental practice, three decades of craft, now brought together under one roof

Crafted by hand, in our own lab

The dentures, crowns, bridges and implant restorations you receive are designed and made by our own technicians, just down the corridor. Decades of lab craft, working directly for you.

In-house craft

Crafted by hand, in our own lab

It's the thread that runs through everything we do. The dentures, crowns, bridges and implant restorations you receive aren't ordered in from a faceless supplier, they're designed and made by our own technicians, a few steps from the chair you sit in. It's decades of dental-lab craft, once reserved for other dentists, now working directly for you. And it's why our denture patients in particular keep coming back: there's no substitute for being fitted by the very person who made them.

New Dentures

Comfortable, natural-looking and built to suit your face and your bite, not an off-the-shelf approximation.

Denture Repairs

Cracked, loose or broken? Because the lab is on site, many repairs are turned around the very same day.

Need a crown, bridge or implant restoration? It's made in the same lab, by the same hands.

Our craft

Still craftsmen at heart

We've grown into a full dental clinic, but our heart has never moved. Restorative dentistry, the careful work of rebuilding and restoring real smiles, is still what we do best, and the Gibson name still means master dental technicians. A crown, a bridge, an implant restoration, a set of dentures: each one begins the way it always has, at the bench, with precision, patience and a fit made just for you.

What our patients say

Paula

"I went to Stuart for a full set of dentures. Right from the start he was great – really friendly and approachable. I was petrified beforehand but he made me feel really at ease. The whole environment was really relaxed and unstuffy. I felt confident to put my trust in him. I lost my teeth when I was 23 and I’m 47 now. It’s the best set I’ve ever had. No-one could tell I’d got false teeth. I love what he’s done for me."

Wayne

"I had almost a full dental reconstruction. The treatment was professional. Stuart listened to what I wanted, always worked with me, and included me in the decision making. He was contactable throughout, and very personable. I felt like I was a friend rather than a client. An excellent experience all-round.”

Trevor

"I found Stuart to be dedicated and professional with high standards and only dealing in quality products. He was present every step of the way, from conception to the finished job, and gave me excellent and easy to understand advice in a relaxed and unhurried manner. My Implant was fitted with surgical standards in a bright, clean, relaxed and warm environment. The implant was well matched to the rest of my teeth and looks totally natural. The aftercare service was also first class. I can recommend Stuart’s services without hesitation.”

Alan

"Stuart is a friendly, honest, hardworking guy who takes pride in his work and keeps the client’s wishes at the heart of his treatments. He goes above and beyond in order to meet his clients expectations and he does it all with the minimum of fuss."

Add imageOur on-site dental lab
Made on site

Our own lab, right here

Here's a question most people never think to ask: where is my crown, bridge or denture actually made? At most practices the answer is a commercial lab many miles away, with your treatment posted back and forth and days lost in between. At The Terrace, the lab is just down the corridor, staffed by our own technicians. That one fact quietly changes everything about your experience.

Faster results

Shorter waits and, where the work allows, same-day turnaround, with nothing held up in the post.

A precise fit

Tweaks and adjustments made there and then, by the very people who built it.

Better value

No third-party lab mark-up sitting between you and the bench.

One team, accountable

Your dentist and technician are colleagues who talk daily, not strangers a courier apart.

Care for every part of your smile

One team, one place, for every part of your smile.

From check-ups to cosmetic work, implants to dentures, it’s all handled here, with our own lab on site to make the work that needs crafting.

Patient satisfaction is very important to us

Highly recommend this dental practice. Reception made you feel welcome as soon as you walk in the door.
I phoned as two of my teeth had broken of my denture and the lady on reception had a word with Stuart and was told to go straight away. Stuart did me a temporary repair and made me an appointment with the dentist as I wanted a new denture making. Brilliant service from dentist and I’ve now got another appointment with Stuart for new denture.
You will not be disappointed going to this practice.

Finished my treatment today and wanted to leave feedback. The whole experience has been fantastic. The staff are amazing. Very pleased with the outcome. I never thought I could trust any dentist before, as I've had bad experiences in the past. The Terrace has my 10/10 feedback. I plan to go here for any future appointments in the future. If you are in any doubt, make an appointment where and you won't be disappointed. Many thanks to Stuart and Nick for my treatment and staff that keep me at ease.
Thank you

Very reluctant to give one star.
I had a filling just before Christmas, which at the time I thought I had received great treatment. However the second week in January the filling fell out so I booked another appointment.
During that appointment I was informed that was not a filling they had provided and I was being unreasonable!
I am absolutely disgusted by the treatment, dentist and staff.

After consultations at 3 local private Dental Clinics I arrived at the Terrace, I felt at ease the minute I walked through the door, at last I was treated as a person not a number. After my initial consultation I was treated by Sally the Hygienist after many years of avoiding this procedure !! I was treated with utmost care, I plan on regular sessions. Next my broken back tooth thanks to cashew nut was extracted by Nick (totally painless) Next Stuart made a chrome cobalt lower denture replacing not only the broken tooth but 2 more that had long gone. Two minor adjustments & I’m good to go. Very happy. well worth 10 stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I cannot rate Stuart and team highly enough. The service and attention from the team is exemplary and the treatment is fantastic. Rebecca is the best dentist I have ever been to see, and that's in 60 years.

Can’t recommend Stuart & his team highly enough especially if, like my husband, you’re scared to death of the dentist, have lost all confidence in yourself (along with most of your teeth!) and desperately need help. Always incredibly pleasant, welcoming and reassuring … the fact that his new full set of dentures are absolutely brilliant and look remarkably like his own teeth, well what can I say?! 5 stars just isn’t enough in my book. Thank you all, you wouldn’t believe the difference you’ve made already.

From the moment I spoke on the phone one hour after breaking my front tooth on a Fox Crunchie Nut cookie I cannot praise the Terrace highly enough. Stuart, Soumane Laura , Meg and Alice were superb professional empathetic practitioners. They went out of their way to rearrange appointments to fit in with my urgent schedule. The treatment I received over 4 weeks has given me back the smile I had always hidden .Compassion ,kindness , and a good sense of humour nursed me through what had for most of my life been a nightmare ( thank you School Dentists!!) . A great happy team, ( largely) painfree! treatment - you cannot ask more. Thank you Terrace . My highest recommendations to you all! Have a good summer .kind regards John Hyde

The whole team are amazing. I'm a nervous patient who is a first time denture wearer . Stuart and team have put me at ease from day one . The dental nurse Laura was so reassuring and kind throughout my treatments. I'm really happy with my partial denture, really can't tell I'm wearing one. Highly recommend and thankyou .

Stuart, Nick and their team are an absolute pleasure to deal with. Not only are they top professionals, they are incredibly supportive, helpful and friendly. For anybody who is experiencing dental health problems, especially when dentures are involved, I don't think that you'll find better, I would definitely recommend them.
