Where Did You Get That Smile?
When The Cosmetic Dental Clinic 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 Cosmetic Dental Clinic—and secured the clinic’s pride of place as a Northeast institution.

Here’s what patients say about five-star treatment from The Cosmetic Dental Clinic.
Clare Irwin
Nigel and the team were fantastic. I’ve just finished my Invisalign treatment and I couldn’t believe the difference. They really are a talented bunch. Thank you so much.
Adam McVie
Great service. I had Nigel as my dentist, and he was great with working with me on my schedule as i travel a lot for work. He was very understanding, and catered the Invisalign plan to my life. Was a 9 month process, completed Invisalign, whitened and did bonding. And for the first time in my life, i actually smile with my teeth!
Steven Curran
I’ve been a patient at The Cosmetic Dental Clinic for around 12 months and recently opted for composite veneers. Nigel was great, really put me at ease and i’m pleased with the end result. I would highly recommend.
Kelly Johnson
The staff at the clinic are extremely friendly and welcoming. I had my treatment of Invisalign, home whitening and bonding with Nigel and Ellie who were very professional and helpful. They were a pleasure to know and I am very happy with my results 😁
Kelly Whiting
Great Service and amazing staff! Nigel and his team were super helpful and friendly and explained all the options available and how it would all work.
Lynsey Kiszel
I have recently had teeth whitening and composite bonding completed at The Cosmetic Dental Clinic. I felt the professionalism, friendliness and efficiency of all the staff at the clinic was very good. I couldn’t be happier with the results and for anyone wanting a similar treatment, I would highly recommend Matt and the team at the clinic.
