The Smile Centre

The Smile Centre stands at 39 Church Street in Liskeard, Cornwall, postcode PL14 3AQ, and is owned by dentist Dan Smirthwaite, who practises alongside dentist Lauren Fern and dental therapists Vicky Williams, Demelza Bowden and Aaron Tuffley. The practice describes itself as a place where nerves are calmed and where staff take time to get to know each patient, backing this with get-to-know-you sessions and small touches such as fidget spinners and stress relievers for anxious visitors. Treatments include dental implants, Invisalign, cosmetic and general dentistry, hygiene appointments and oral cancer screening. A new patient appointment starts from £189.50 and lasts up to an hour, taking in an oral cancer screening, X-rays and a gum assessment. The clinic opens Monday to Thursday from 8:30am, staying later until 6pm on Wednesdays, and on Friday mornings from 9am to 1pm. It has been a finalist for the PDA and has featured in the Dentistry Awards, and it describes its rooms as fitted with high-end equipment.
