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.

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.
Jessica B
Just finished my treatment with Dr Nigel Parkash and dental nurse Lauren, extremely happy with my composite bonding. I couldn’t recommend Nigel enough for all your cosmetic dentistry needs, a true artist and perfectionist! Thank you Cosmetic Dental Clinic Durham.
Cheryl Miller
Recently completed my treatment of Invisalign and whitening and couldn’t be more pleased with the results! Nigel was fantastic throughout and always answered any questions/concerns really quickly. So happy with the whole process and glad I took the plunge!
Alison McDonald
I was made to feel at ease throughout each appointment and after such a long time feeling self conscious I am delighted with the results.
Tracey Cusworth
Just finished my Invisalign plus, whitening and bonding with Nigel, I can not thank him enough. I’ve never trusted anyone more, my only regret is that I didn’t do this years ago, 100% faultless service 😊
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!
