The Smile Lounge is renowned as a centre of excellence, specialising in orthodontics as well as aesthetic and cosmetic dentistry and facial aesthetics. There are many different ways of improving your smile, including braces. If you have been considering improving your smile or considering orthodontic treatment or perhaps you have been told that you aren't suitable for orthodontics, then we would love to hear from you.

For those discerning people who believe that their dental, orthodontics and facial treatments should be tailor-made to them. For people who want to be cared for by a professional team that constantly strives for excellence. Perhaps we are what you are looking for?
Services
Established in 2006 by Dr Ian Hutchinson, The Smile Lounge offers an unrivalled patient experience. Ian is a specialist orthodontist which means that he has an additional three years of specialist training which makes him an expert in straightening teeth and improving facial appearance. We invest in all the latest technology at our practice to ensure that your visit is as comfortable as it possibly can be.
Ian qualified from Newcastle in 1991 and after several Hospital posts and time in General practice; he undertook his Specialist training in Bristol (96-99). He founded the Warwick MSc in Lingual Orthodontics and runs his own Orthodontic courses and has a Post Graduate Award in Education.

The courses are run through Wired Orthodontics (Ian is Clinical Director) in Chepstow where he undertakes not just Orthodontic treatment but also Restorative work as well.He is a full member of the British Association of Cosmetic Dentistry and Faculty Member of Spear Education, in addition to being a judge on the UK Aesthetic Dentistry Awards panel.
Orthodontics involves straightening or moving teeth, to improve the appearance of the teeth and how they work together. Orthodontists (like Ian) have a general dental degree just like a regular dentist and an additional three years of specialist training which makes them experts in straightening teeth and improving facial appearance.
At The Smile Lounge we take a team approach to the orthodontic care that we provide our patients. We are solution providers by nature and all of us love working as part of a team. Your teeth and jaws are an intricate and wonderful design and any change to them needs a high level of expertise. We like to see ourselves as 'smile creators' rather than dentists.
Orthodontics is a dental specialism that deals with malpositioned teeth and the jaws. Orthodontists diagnose and can prevent and correct. An orthodontist like Ian is a specialist who has undergone special, further training in a dental school after they have graduated with a degree in dentistry. The beautiful teeth and smile that you always wanted and will have for the rest of your life.

Just wish Ian was still doing the job himself. Steven was the one working on my case which was left with teeth still crooked ( alright I don’t think I’ll ever have like a perfect teeth like those people veneers etc ) and not only that, to put the braces Steven shaved off my implant and never fixed it… I know covid hit us and he has apparently left now but still I didn’t have a follow up after his work, after removing braces that I don’t think they should’ve been removed when they did (but then I’m not an orthodontist) we were going to see what we were going to do with my implant and

I am 100% impressed by both Dr. Hutchinson and his team today. Their attention to detail and effort goes above and beyond the level you would expect from any normal orthodontic practice. I have just started my orthodontic journey with Dr. Hutchinson after a detailed examination of my dental problems. I would highly recommend this practice for all your orthodontic and advanced dental needs.

I’m afraid I have to leave a bad review about my orthodontic experience. After 3/4 years of treatment I was still not happy with my teeth and I’m now looking to go elsewhere where they have Invisalign and can do the job that this dentist could not

Pain free dentistry! I’d always been scared to hear the dreaded words root canal but just had a 90 minute appointment with Cameron from the Smile Lounge and it wasn’t painful at all. Ian Hutchinson and the team at The Smile Lounge are all excellent and put you at ease. I never worry about going to the dentist anymore.

I recently had a cosmetic treatment at the Practice, carried out by 'Kate 1' and 'Kate 2' and not only was the treatment great achieving the result I wanted, they were really nice! Nothing was too much trouble and I felt very welcome and valued.
Great team and ethos - thank you.
