• Cosmetic dentistry: included in the practice's treatment offering.
• Specialist dentistry: oral surgery (treatment of the face, mouth, jaw and neck), dental implants, gum disease treatment, endodontics (root canal treatment) and orthodontics.
• Smile in a Day: implant treatment that provides teeth that feel and function like natural teeth in just one day.
• Restorative dentistry: included in the service catalogue.

The practice states that it has been providing implant treatments for over 35 years and that its specialist prosthodontists carry out these procedures. Implant consultations are offered at half price as part of a limited-time spring promotion, according to the website information.

Team and training

Devonshire House dentists are registered with the General Dental Council (GDC) and many of them are also listed on the specialist dentist register. According to the practice, most of the team has completed an average of five additional years of training after obtaining their general qualification to specialise in their field. The practice also offers postgraduate education and mentoring to other dental professionals.

Facilities and locations

Devonshire House operates from two locations. The main practice, with 11 surgeries, is located near Addenbrooke's Hospital. The second location, at Copley Hill Business Park, has 3 additional surgeries and offers hygiene and periodontal treatment. Both locations have free on-site parking.

The practice has its own dental laboratory registered with DAMAS, which provides technical support to both Devonshire House and dentists throughout the UK. The laboratory is equipped with milling machines and 3D printers for the digital production of ceramic crowns and models. This laboratory allows minimising the sending of work externally, reducing the time between appointments and carrying out emergency repairs of dental prostheses.

The practice has a CT scanner and offers OPG X-ray services, also available to external professionals.

Patient services

Devonshire House treats new and existing private patients, including children and adults. It offers sedation for adults and children for complex treatments, designed for nervous patients. It has an emergency service with same-day appointments six days a week; out of hours, the emergency phone is answered by a dentist who assesses the problem, offers advice and, if necessary, treats the patient out of hours. The practice also offers Saturday appointments and online booking for routine dentistry and hygiene appointments and new patient consultations at either of the two locations.

The practice accepts patient referrals for prosthodontic, endodontic, periodontal and orthodontic treatments, as well as for CBCT scans and OPG X-rays. It also has a refer a friend programme and self-referrals.

Financing options include interest-free plans to help spread the cost of complex treatments.
