Services
At your first visit we will discuss your medical history and conduct a comprehensive examination, which may include necessary radiographs. Following the initial examination we will be happy to explain any treatment required, and give an estimate of the costs.
Our aim is to provide good dental health through preventative dentistry : this means giving you regular dental advice and helping you to understand how to care for your own teeth and gums yourself thus reducing the need for future dental treatment.

Should you have a dental emergency outside the normal practice hours, please telephone NHS on 111 which will put you in contact with the Surrey Dental Helpline. During practice hours, we endeavour to see any patient who has a dental emergency. It should be noted that it is best to call early in the morning to book an emergency slot.
Teeth are stained by the foods and drinks we consume. Smoking further stains teeth and the natural bright, white shade becomes darkened. Teeth whitening is a successful and simple method of lightening the colour of your teeth. The degree of whiteness achieved will vary from patient to patient and with the type of bleaching process chosen.
If your front teeth are stained, chipped, or malaligned, veneers will give you a good life-like appearance with minimum tooth adjustment. A veneer is a porcelain facing on the front of your teeth usually your top teeth, it is just like a false finger nail.
Veneers make teeth look natural and healthy, and because they are very thin and are held in place by a special strong bond (rather like super-glue) very little preparation of the tooth is needed.A precise shade of porcelain can be chosen to give the right colour to improve a single discoloured or stained tooth or to lighten front teeth (usually the upper ones) generally.

If the decay is not too serious, our cosmetic dentist will remove all the decay and restore the tooth with a white (tooth coloured) filling. Our dentists can safely replace silver amalgam fillings with white tooth coloured fillings. Dental decay happens when the enamel and dentine of a tooth become softened by acid attack, producing a cavity (hole).

Like most people I was not looking forward to having root canal treatment. Thankfully, the team at Timberhill Dental Practise were wonderful. The receptionists always give a warm welcome to make you feel at ease and the Specialist Endodontist Vip is excellent at making you feel comfortable throughout. Along with Dental Assistant Shirley, he kept the appointment upbeat with reassuring chat to let me know exactly what was going to happen and a choice of background music to help relax me. I can’t thank them enough for making my appointment as stress-free as possible and would recommend them in a

I was very happy with my recent experience. Dr Kataria explained everything very clearly and made me feel at ease during the procedure, checking regularly that I was ok. He was happy to answer any questions I had and gave clear post procedure instructions. All the staff were friendly and helpful and I would recommend Timberhill Practice.

Very friendly team! The receptionist was super polite and very helpful, and as a new patient answered all my questions with a smile. The hygienist Leanne is amazing! She has a gentle approch, very friendly manner and totally made me feel at ease after being apprehensive about dental appts for many years in the past. Definitely recommend!

I don’t normally write reviews but on this occasion I have to. I can’t recommend Timberhill Dental Practice and in particularly Dr Treon highly enough. I originally found the practice whilst looking for a new dentist for my father who lives in a nearby care home. I was so impressed with the service provided by everyone one from the receptionist who initially took my call, through to Dr Treon who made my father feel at home and patiently and clearly explained what she was going to do that I decided to move to the practice myself.

I highly recommend this practice. I have had a very challenging root canal treatment done by Dr Kataria, who has been amazing, he spent a lot of time writing emails and reports to specialist at King’s College Hospital to make the right decisions about my treatment and alway kept me up to date. I also saw Leanne the hygienist who was brilliant.
All the receptionist are really friendly, welcoming and helpful.

Couldn't be happier with the care I received. Saw specialist Dr Kataria, whose willingness to go the extra mile in ensuring the best outcome possible for a quite complicated root canal treatment was truly exceptional. The fee for an additional appointment was even waved as he was not satisfied that the tooth had healed enough. First-rate, would highly recommend both Dr Kataria and the practice.

Excellent service , very polite staff , premises clean and conforming to Covid protocol. Cannot appreciate the Dentist enough . I have been under care of Dr Bella Treon for the past 18 months . Her dedication to her work, her expertise in her profession, is par excellent . Her bedside manners and care to the patient is excellent and reassuring, The nursing staff working with her are excellent too. Same holds for Dr Vipul Kataria who did a root canal on a very complicated tooth for me 2 years ago . Thanks to the very excellent service to all at Timberhill Dental Practice

The dentist explained everything very clearly & showed me photographs of any problem areas that needed addressing. She explained options & allowed me to make a choice regarding a sensible course of action. Very pleased with my dentist & the overall experience at Timberhill, which is very covid aware. There was a temperature check & hand sanitiser on the way in to the building.
