We’re committed to caring for young smiles, from your child’s very first tooth. Our child friendly practice offers our younger patients a safe and caring environment, with a dental team who are passionate about protecting your child’s dental health right from the start.
We are passionate about protecting young smiles from their very first tooth. Your child will usually start to get their milk teeth at around six months old. We recommend that you schedule your child’s first dental examination as soon as they get their first tooth.
Following this, we recommend scheduling appointments between every three and twelve months. This will also let them get used to the noises, smells and surroundings and prepare them for future visits. The earlier these visits start, the more relaxed the children will be. Plaque can start to form on young teeth as soon as they emerge, and it’s important to implement a good oral health routine early – starting with that first tooth.

†Terms and conditions
A private children’s dental health check is included at no additional cost when booked alongside a private paying adult dental health check. Includes x‑rays and fluoride if clinically appropriate. This offer applies to children aged under 5 and is limited to two free private children’s check-ups per paying adult. Additional private children’s checks will be charged at the standard rate. Both dental health checks must be booked at the same time; and children must attend at the same time as the adults scheduled appointment. This offer forms part of our standard pricing and is not a time-limited promotion. It is non-transferable and has no cash value or alternative. The practice accepts no liability on behalf of the treating clinician and acts solely as a liaison between the patient and the clinician. The practice reserves the right to amend or withdraw this offer at any time without prior notice. The children’s dental health check does not include any additional treatment identified during the appointment. If further treatment is required, a separate estimate and treatment plan will be provided.
The lady on reception was super friendly and professional with my son who has special needs. He was due to have his braces taken off. The dental technicians were equally friendly, professional and patient with him. He was very nervous but they were very reassuring. Thank you.
I had my aligner treatment at Portman Smile Clinic and I honestly couldn’t be happier with the result. The treatment was really quick and my tooth looks absolutely perfect now. I was a bit nervous at the beginning, but it was almost painless — the aligners were very comfortable and easy to get used to. All the orthodontists were amazing, very kind and professional, and they always explained everything clearly, which made me feel relaxed and confident. The whole team was lovely, from the reception staff to the nurses and management. Everyone was friendly, organised and welcoming every time I visited. I’m so happy I chose Portman Smile Clinic and I would definitely recommend it to anyone thinking about aligners, especially teenagers like me!
Portman Smile have been great with my daughter having a brace fitted. Staff are very friendly and knowledgeable, and the reception staff are really helpful.
