Our Petworth based practice offers superior dental care in an incredibly relaxed and welcoming environment. We provide a comprehensive collection of preventive, restorative and cosmetic treatments to help keep your teeth both healthy and beautiful. When Michael Donovan bought the practice in 1992, we were originally located in Market Square in Petworth.
In 2006, we moved to our current modern premises on the corner of Middle Street. Michael's wife, Jayne, is also heavily involved in Donovan's Dental as she is one of our dental nurses and our Practice Manager. She keeps a watchful eye on the practice, ensuring it always runs smoothly and that we continue to maintain the highest possible standards.

Services
We love seeing new patients at our practice and will always greet you with broad smiles and a warm welcome. When you visit us for the first time, you will feel immediately at ease in our calm, relaxing setting. Your first consultation will last a little longer as your dentist will take around 30 minutes to check for signs of gum disease and tooth decay.
Inlays and onlays (also known as indirect fillings) can be used to restore areas of decay or damage that are too extensive to be treated with a normal filling and can provide a less invasive, more affordable alternative to a crown. A long-lasting restorative solution, they are usually placed in teeth at the back of the mouth or can be used to repair large areas on the front teeth.
Root canal therapy (or endodontics) can help prevent a tooth from being extracted by removing infected or inflamed pulp from inside the tooth. Full of nerves and blood vessels, the pulp is the 'living' tissue at the heart of the tooth. It can become infected due to bacteria entering via areas of decay, a deep filling or damage to the tooth.
We can use natural-looking white fillings to treat cavities without ruining your smile. These subtle fillings blend in perfectly with the surrounding teeth and also strengthen and restore a damaged tooth. We place white fillings by layering a composite resin on to the cavity. We finish this process by hardening the carefully applied resin with a special bright light.
More room is needed for successful orthodontic treatment or to ensure new dentures fit properly. We take an x-ray and assess your teeth to ascertain the best method of removal, which will either be a simple extraction or a surgical extraction. A simple extraction is performed on a tooth that is visible in the mouth.

I have been a patient at Donovan's dental practice for over three years now and highly recommend the practice. The staff are welcoming and incredibly reassuring. I have never felt so at ease about attending the dentist and my fear of dentistry has become a thing of the past. I cannot stress enough how clean, welcoming and well presented the practice is. Five star!

I cannot recommend Donovan's Dental practice highly enough. The dental care provided by Mike and his team has always been fantastic. As a nervous patient Mike has put me at ease from the first visit with his calm and caring approach. He has always gone out of his way to ensure I have the best possible treatment, even starting root canal treatment at 4pm on Christmas eve one year.

Mike Donovan is my dentist and has been since he started up practice in Petworth. He is gentle and always puts me at ease, but does a really fab job too. I have had corrective surgery to adjust my bite which really helped me as it removed a nagging backache that I had been suffering with but couldn't find the cause of. I believe bite adjustment is one of his specialties!
I also really like the current hygienist. She has taught me a lot about how to look after my teeth so I don't have the problems some of my friends are having with their own teeth as we all get into our 50's! Its only now that
