Where Did You Get That Smile?
When The CDC founders Andy Stafford and Darren Cannell met at dental school in Newcastle back in 1996, they knew they’d found friends for life.
The pals have worked, trained, and played together ever since, studying advanced cosmetic and restorative dentistry with the best in the US before returning to put a smile on the face of the city where it all began…
Since opening the first Eldon Square clinic in 2007, a team of top dental talent has helped Andy and Darren spread the word about the unmatched quality, precision and care on offer from The CDC—and secured the clinic’s pride of place as a Northeast institution.

Connor Miller
Would 100% recommended this clinic. From start to finish the process was so smooth. No longer hating the dentist thanks to such a lovely team. Friendly, helpful and so knowledgeable and on the ball!! 😁
Carly Ellis
Can’t fault any part of the service and care I received from the Cosmetic Dental Clinic. After spending years being embarrassed about my teeth, I can’t believe how they look now. Can honestly say it has changed my life and how I feel. My only regret is that I didn’t get it done sooner!
Jane Bryant
I have just finished my Invisalign treatment and composite bonding with Mat and his assistant Tiff and I couldn’t be happier with my results and the service I received. They made me feel so at ease from the start, I could ask them anything and they knew exactly the result I wanted. I’m one very happy customer, so glad I chose them!
Rachael Luther
Mat Sims was my dentist at the clinic and I couldn’t have asked for a better result with my new smile. Mat and Tiff are both lovely and always made me feel at ease when in the chair and I am so so happy with the way my teeth look. 100% recommend to anyone who would like to invest in their smile, the best decision I’ve ever made.
Charlotte Green
My whole experience at Cosmetic dental clinic was amazing. Staff were very assertive and made me feel at ease throughout the whole treatment journey. A big thank you to David and Jess they are a brilliant team, very friendly and we’re great support. I have so much more confidence and can’t stop looking at my smile. Forever grateful and will always recommend 😊
Shauna Herd
What can I say, Nigel and the team at CDC Durham did a fantastic job and looked after me so well before, during and after my treatment. The team completely took the stress out of going to appointments and made the whole process so easy. The service I received was first-class and the results have ultimately increased my confidence in more ways than I could ever have imagined! Thank you!
