About Cottage Dental Practice

Welcome to {my}dentist Kirkby Lonsdale. We are a long-established practice situated in the middle of the picturesque market town and we have been caring for our patients for over 30 years. We are a short walk to the well-known Devils Bridge, and are lucky enough to be in the middle of 2022’s winner of ‘Best places in the North West’. Both NHS and affordable private care is provided within the practice by our three friendly dentists. As well as routine treatments, the practice is also able to accept Private Oral Surgery referrals, and offer cosmetic treatments such as Airflow stain removal, and tooth whitening. Working alongside our clinicians, we have a team of qualified and dedicated Dental Nurses and Receptionists (some of which have worked in the practice for over 20 years!). Our team is developing skills and offering more treatment options than ever before and we hope to welcome you soon.

    "Fabulous dentists. I had to go here as an emergency case and I couldn't be more pleased with the service I received. They have sorted out my bad tooth after it giving me gip for quite a few weeks. I'm not that keen going to have my teeth done but I never felt nervous or worried under their care. Absolutely top class. Thank you very much !"
