A dentist that tells you the price before you sit down.
Brightside is a private practice on Otley Road. Every treatment has a published price, every plan is written down before anything starts, and the first examination costs £45.
Start here
Forty minutes, £45, and nothing drilled.
The first appointment is an examination, not treatment. X-rays if you need them, gum measurements, photographs and an oral cancer screening. You leave with a written plan and go home to think about it.
Book the £45 examination
Online in about a minute, or by phone if you would rather talk to Helen. Evening and Saturday slots exist.
Forty minutes, no treatment
X-rays, gum measurements, photographs and an oral cancer screening. Nothing is drilled on a first visit.

You decide, at home
The plan is emailed the same day. We do not chase, and the quoted price stands for six months.

Nervous patients
Six things we promise if the dentist frightens you.
About one in four of our new patients has avoided a dentist for more than five years. Nobody here is going to make you feel bad about it.
Tell us before you sit down
The note is on your file. Nobody asks you to explain it twice, and nobody uses the word relax.
Stop signal that works
Raise a hand and everything stops, including the drill. We wait as long as you need.
Longer first appointments
Forty minutes, so the first visit can be talking and looking rather than treatment.
Numbing before the numbing
Topical gel first, then the slowest injection in Leeds. Most people tell us they missed it.
Sedation when you want it
Inhalation sedation for £180, or intravenous sedation with our own sedationist for £395.
Prices on paper, always
A written plan with every price before treatment starts. No decisions made in the chair.
The clinicians
Every name, every GDC number.
You are booked with a named clinician and you see the same one each visit unless you ask otherwise.

★★★★★I had not been to a dentist since 2009. They booked me a double appointment, nobody told me off, and I have been back four times since.
Jodie H., Kirkstall
★★★★★The Invisalign preview sold it. I could see the finish before I paid a penny, and it landed almost exactly there in nine months.
Ade F., Chapel Allerton
★★★★★Broke a molar on a Saturday morning. Seen at 11:20, temporary crown the same day, full price written down before they started.
Marta W., Horsforth
★★★★★The hygienist explained my gum scores with the numbers on screen. First time in twenty years anyone has bothered.
