Four dental professionals have joined forces to open a centre of excellence in Yorkshire. 

Offering the very latest in dentistry treatments and also dedicated training for dentists across the country, Dental Excellence is operating out of a stunning mansion house in the grounds of Harewood Estate located between Leeds and Harrogate.

Dentists Donald Sloss, Mark Willings, Jon Swarbrigg and clinical dental technician Mark Price are all well accomplished practitioners of world standing, each with a focused expertise that complement each other. Meeting at a conference in Germany they discussed how they could combine these skills to offer multidisciplinary treatment, no matter how complex, under one roof. They agreed that Leeds had the potential to become a flagship centre for the UK, and Harewood was the perfect backdrop.

Nearly £2m has been invested to convert the once derelict property and provide a remarkable new establishment for dental excellence that is already drawing significant attention from the industry worldwide.  With a helicopter landing pad within the Harewood estate it is likely that some patients will fly in for treatment. 

Donald Sloss who was one of the first dentists in the country to become a fellow in General Dental Practice of the Royal College of Surgeons in England and won ‘Dentist of the Year’ in 2011 said, “With our joint expertise and state of the art equipment we are able to offer all of the latest advances in dental treatment that is unbeatable worldwide.  Our centre focuses on the more complex dental procedures including advanced restorative dentistry, cosmetic restorations, orthodontics, endodontics and dental implants. 

“The market for complex and intricate dentistry is growing in the UK.  A few years ago it was all about veneers but there are now much more conservative options for patients that may need treatment following trauma or simply for cosmetic purposes.  With the expertise and technology that we now have in place it is possible for patients to visit and walk out with a new smile within the same day.  But it’s not just about complex and seemingly expensive treatment.  Some of our life changing treatments can cost just a few hundred pounds.” 

A significant part of the offer at Dental Excellence is the educational facility which is open to dentists and other dental professionals locally and nationally. Bespoke training courses are available to dentists covering complex procedures through to customer service and marketing to assist with developing their own practice.  There are facilities for live demonstrations with highly experienced educators leading the sessions.  Dentists can book for training but are also encouraged to refer patients where more specialist and complex treatment is required.

Market leading product developers and manufacturers, which regularly call upon the partners of Dental Excellence for product trialling and expert feedback during development stages, are already booking use of the facility for world exclusive demonstrations.
