Life changing transformations our patients have experienced
I am extremely happy with how my first appointment went at Thornbury Dental Wellness Clinic. As soon as I arrived everyone was very welcoming and you had a sense of calmness as soon as you walked in. This was probably the first time I actually felt comfortable in a dentist. I’ll be looking forward to going back and continuing my treatment with your support

Recently had my top teeth bonded and from the consultation to the final appointment thornbury dental clinic was top tier service. Everyone there is so helpful and friendly and I’m over the moon with how my teeth have turned out. Would highly recommend
- Max James
Had first consultation for my daughter who has autism, lovely welcome from Rachel on reception and the staff were all great, very friendly, they put my daughter at ease as she was very anxious. The consultation was very thorough, lasted just over an hour. They have a selection of plans you can opt into, you choose what best suits yourself. Will be returning soon for some treatment. Highly recommend

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does orthodontic treatment usually take?
Treatment length varies depending on the individual case but typically lasts between 12 and 24 months. Your orthodontist will provide a more accurate estimate based on your specific needs.
Are braces or clear aligners better?
Both options are effective. Braces are ideal for complex cases, while clear aligners offer a more discreet, removable solution for mild to moderate alignment issues. Your orthodontist will help determine the best fit for you.
Will orthodontic treatment be painful?
Some discomfort or soreness is normal after adjustments or when starting treatment, but it usually subsides quickly. Many patients find the process manageable with over-the-counter pain relief.
How do I care for my teeth during orthodontic treatment?
Good oral hygiene is essential. Brush and floss regularly, avoid sticky or hard foods that can damage appliances, and attend all scheduled orthodontic appointments to keep treatment on track.
Can adults get orthodontic treatment?
Absolutely! Orthodontic treatment is effective at any age. Many adults choose braces or clear aligners to improve their smile and oral health.
