Since being purchased by Colette O'Sullivan, we have strived to maintain the welcoming atmosphere of a family orientated practice. There has been a steady increase in regular patients and the practice has a growing reputation that has been recognised within the Kent dental community. The practice works hard to improve and develop the quality and service of it's staff.
At the start of 2008 we were accredited with Silver Status in recognition of our holding the Good Practice award since its inception. We are one of the first practices in Kent, or indeed in the UK, to achieve this. There is one ground floor and three upstairs surgeries at the practice. Those patients with mobility difficulties should inform the receptionist of this, as we have step free side door access.

Mary Colette O'Sullivan, is known to all as Colette. I qualified as BDS (Batchelor of Dental Surgery) from Cork (Rep of Ireland) in 1993. I have worked full time here since, other than maternity leave for my daughters Helen (2000) and Sarah (2005). My preference is, obviously, restoration of teeth, with composite (adhesive tooth-coloured filling material), crown & bridgework and dentures.
Julies dental career expands over 36 years where she first started training as a dental technician at Cardiff Heath Hospital. On completion of her course, she then joined the Royal Army Corps serving in several locations across Germany. It was during this time where Julie developed an awareness in helping soldiers maintain good oral health by helping at Health Fairs and National Oral Health Strategies.
Denplan Essentials is an easy budgeting plan that covers you for the foundations of your dental care, helping to stop problems before they start. Regular visits to your dentist and hygienist can help to improve your long-term oral health. Denplan Essentials is an easy set-up maintenance plan. You pay a monthly fee that covers a set number of treatments, including dental check-ups, dental hygiene visits and dental x-rays.
We are firm believers in it's ability to whiten teeth and with that whiter, brighter smile brings confidence to our patients. The system has been tried and tested on our staff members so please feel free to ask us about it or pick up our leaflet in practice. The Enlighten system starts with impressions being taken so that models can be made of your teeth to produce trays.
At Orchard House we provide both silver (Amalgam) fillings and white (Composite) fillings. Did you know that Fillings can be used for more than just filling a hole in a tooth?
Many people do not realise that they can be used to reshape teeth to help give the patient a different shaped tooth for example a tooth that has been worn down by grinding or clenching can fixed with a small composite filling, this will build up the damaged tooth to it's normal height and shape.Some people may even want teeth to be a different shape, this can also be achieved using a simple composite filling material.

I have been a patient of Dr Mistry for several years, having followed her from 3 previous practices. We have always got on well, I travel from Folkestone – a long way, but it’s worthwhile - to get the services of a dentist you get on well with.
It may be a coincidence, that of all the teeth I have had extracted, the only one extraction I have had with her was the least painful.
She is very patient, explaining in good detail about all the various options. I have no hesitation in recommending her.

Wow, what a fantastic dentist. I have had major dental problems, even going as far as being sent to Guys hospital, and having to get our MP involved. This practice has sorted my dentures out, spending lots of time and trouble, getting me sorted. I can’t thank them enough, especially the patient Stacey.

If you want a NHS appointment, avoid this one, I had a decayed tooth examined by the newly qualified dentist called Ana that to my surprise did nothing on the tooth, just put a filler on top which made the situation even worse and I was afraid to go back, as I don't trust the service anymore, had to do the service somewhere else. Avoid if you are NHS patient, I cannot review the private ones as I haven't use them. The staff that work there is nice, nothing against them, just the NHS service that wasn't not good enough.
