Your health and safety is of paramount importance to us and is constantly reviewed in line with current regulations.
Please notify a member of staff if you notice any area of concern so immediate action can be taken.
Patient safety charter
Our practice has a safety culture which means that patient safety is at the forefront of everyone’s minds not only when delivering healthcare but also when setting objectives, developing procedures, purchasing new products and equipment. It is also a culture that is open and fair, where team members can discuss the challenges they face at work for the best interests of our patients. For patient safety we:
- Follow the latest infection prevention guidelines including those from NHS England
- Use dental instruments that are single use or are sterilised after use
- Decontaminate work areas including the dental chair, hand held equipment and cupboard handles, in between patients
- Maintain a high standard of personal hygiene including clinical clothing and the restricted wearing of jewellery
- Monitor practice water for quality. Dental unit waterlines are disinfected and kept clear
- Handle waste according to current regulations and dispose of it with appropriate carriers
- Take expert advice if a team member may have a blood borne infection. The team member will have an occupational health examination and follow the advice on their role in treating patients
- All our team members are trained in safeguarding of children and vulnerable adults and follow the practice safeguarding procedures, which are regularly monitored and reviewed.
We run a clinical governance system which uses integrated risk management to identify, assess, analyse and manager all risks and incidents. The goal is continuous improvement in our care and service to you.
The Practice Manager has the overall responsibility at the practice. The team is supported through regular meetings, staff training, personal development and regular appraisals. The practice always welcomes questions, comments and suggestions from patients.
Please contact the practice manager if you have any questions or concerns.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic Dentistry in Droylsden, Manchester — From £350 a Tooth, with a Bespoke Composite Preview Before You Commit
Cosmetic dentistry isn't about giving you a Hollywood smile that doesn't suit your face. It's about refining what's already there — closing a gap, brightening a stained tooth, fixing a chip, balancing an uneven smile — so the version of you that looks back from the mirror feels like you at your best.
At Walmsley Dental, we've been doing cosmetic work for Droylsden, Tameside and Greater Manchester since 1984. Family-run by Dr Edward Walmsley (GDC No. 202897) and his wife Emma. 4.9★ from over 340 patient reviews. Same dentist, same team, every visit. No corporate pressure to upsell.
Our Differentiator: The Hand-Sculpted Composite Preview
Most cosmetic clinics show you a software simulation of your future smile. We do it differently. At your free smile-design consultation, Dr Walmsley sculpts your proposed smile in temporary composite directly onto your teeth. You wear it home, eat with it, take selfies, show your partner — then come back and decide whether to make it permanent. No software guesswork. No surprises. No regret.
Our Cosmetic Treatments
Composite Bonding — from £350 per tooth. The fastest, most affordable smile transformation. Tooth-coloured resin sculpted in a single visit. A six-tooth front smile makeover is typically £1,800–£2,400. Repairable, reversible, lasts 5–8 years.
Porcelain Veneers — from £750 per tooth. Custom-made shells bonded to the front of your teeth. More durable, completely stain-proof, 10–15+ years lifespan. Lab-fabricated from a precise 3D digital scan once you've approved the hand-sculpted trial smile. A full smile (8–10 veneers) is typically £6,000–£7,500.
Composite Veneers — a halfway point between bonding and porcelain. Sculpted by hand in the chair like bonding, but applied as a full veneer for a more dramatic transformation than edge bonding alone.
Teeth Whitening — £350. Custom-fitted home-whitening trays with professional-strength gel. Two weeks of nightly use, results in 5–7 days. The natural starting point for any smile makeover.
Smile Makeover Packages. Most patients combine treatments — whitening + bonding (from £2,150), whitening + porcelain veneers, or full smile transformations. We design the right plan for your goals and budget.
Invisalign® and SureSmile® — £4,500 all-inclusive. If you want to straighten before whitening or bonding, our clear aligner package covers everything: aligners, refinements, attachments, IPR if needed, and 3D-printed retainers. Read more about Invisalign and SureSmile.
Free Smile-Design Consultation
Every cosmetic journey starts with a free consultation. We'll take clinical photos, sculpt a hand-made composite preview where appropriate, and give you a fixed written quote — with no obligation to proceed. 0% finance available on plans over £1,000.
