Services
Torrington Dental Practice was established in 1997 by principal dentist Ian Mills as a single surgery practice offering NHS and private dental care for the population of Great Torrington and the surrounding area.

In 2003 we moved to our current premises in Haldon Terrace to accommodate new patients and partners, and in 2019 the practice underwent major expansion and refurbishment as part of our ongoing commitment to extend access to outstanding dental care across Devon.
I had extensive dental work with John Cato over a couple of months and the treatment was excellent and I am delighted with the results. John took a lot of time and care getting everything exactly right. Absolutely fantastic team of people. Kind, caring and thoughtful to a nervous patient who feels instantly at home in their company.

After years of being terrified of going to the dentist I heard about TDP. I was told that they were very experienced with nervous patients and would put me at ease. I badly needed a dentist and could not get any joy. The reception team were warm and caring and my dentist was so understanding. John promised to help me over my fear and he has delivered! I am finally trusting of a dentist and no longer need sedation!! I have now had my numerous tooth problems sorted out. I am so grateful to the whole team, they take pride in their work and care about your health.

Great Practice. My dentist there Sarah is extremely professional and you feel completely at ease with her. She clearly explains things with a detailed report and even did a cast of my teeth to explain further what needed doing. This is the sort of service I have never had In all my years going to other dentists in the past. I unfortunately need a fair bit doing, but feel I am in very safe hands with Sarah now as my dentist. Even her assistant was top notch being very alert and attentive at all times.

I had a routine check up today and was made to feel welcome and confident in my treatment by all the staff I came into contact with. In particular, the dentist and his nurse went out of their way to answer my questions and be friendly and human.

I will never love visiting the dentist, but since finding this practice a few months ago and receiving the most incredible care from John Cato, it is now not something that I will avoid. If you have had nightmare experiences in the past or are nervous/anxious then I highly recommend you join this incredible practice. p.s. John Cato is awesome!
