The Cosmetic Dental Clinic (Durham)

The Cosmetic Dental Clinic occupies 7 Old Elvet in Durham, the second location for a business founded in 2007 by Andy Stafford and Darren Cannell, who first met at dental school in 1996. Both practise as clinical directors, and the clinic styles itself 'The Northeast's Home of Sensational Smiles'. Invisalign is a particular strength: the clinic holds Diamond Apex status, placing it among the top one percent of providers in Europe, and it created what it describes as the UK's first Invisalign Zone. An on-site CEREC 3D laboratory produces same-day restorations, while digital smile design and SmileView software let patients preview results before starting. Alongside clear aligners, treatment spans veneers, composite bonding, teeth whitening, dental implants including same-day options, crowns and bridges, and full smile makeovers. Finance is arranged through Secure Trust Bank's V12 scheme, and free virtual consultations are offered for those weighing up cosmetic work. The clinic emphasises long-term care in which patients stay in control of their smile journey.
