We also understand the impact your smile can have and the way it makes you feel. Since 1990, the Gentle Touch team has been setting new standards in customer care and cosmetic dentistry so that you, and your smile, always look your best. Our studio in Magherafelt is the heart of everything we do.

In it, we offer a wide range of quality general dental treatments as well as dental implants and high-end cosmetic procedures- all with an emphasis on a relaxed and gentle experience.Our friendly team has been putting smiles on our patient's faces for years, setting new standards in customer care and taking the time to listen and helping you feel comfortable and at ease.
We would be nothing without our patients, so we do our best to treat everyone like family. Being a new patient can be slightly daunting but our Gentle Team will take the time to sit with you and answer any questions you may have. Should you need any further treatment after your initial examination, we will happily discuss all the options available to you to help you make the choice that's best for you.
A beautiful smile, with healthy teeth and gums, not only looks great and improves your appearance, it's also important to your overall physical well being. By taking a proactive approach to preventative and restorative dentistry we will not only improve your current oral health but we can also reduce or even eliminate the need for more invasive procedures in the future.
Sometime dental needs go beyond and above fillings, crowns and whitening. Badly damaged, broken or missing teeth can be permanently and effectively replaced with the use of state-of-the-art advanced technology. By performing dental implants we can replace your missing teeth permanently and beautifully for a better bite and a more natural looking smile.
For complex cases requiring special care and attention, Dr. Robert Craig will take the time to work with each patient to deliver the best possible results. Robert's experience in implant technology and cosmetic dentistry will help improve the smile of even the biggest challenges.

Since founding Gentle Touch in 1990, Robert has focused on high-end implant cosmetic dentistry, taking a year-long course in the USA, the epicentre of cosmetic excellence.His experience includes a 2002 Fellowship in Periodontology and a 2004 Fellowship of Implantology, both from Southeastern University, Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

Couldn’t recommend Dr Chris and the girls enough! If it was possible to give more than 5 stars I would! The girls went above and beyond to get all my appointments in on time for my hen party. And the finished work is amazing! Thank you again for making me feel confident to smile again!!

I had an appointment with the hygenist. Something i dread! However she was so patient and careful not to cause me any discomfort and she did an excellent job. The dentist was also fantastic in settling my son for his appointment. Fantastic dental practice and friendly team.
