About

Chris Hanford

Particularly aesthetic dentistry, restorative dentistry and cosmetic braces.

Originally from Manchester, I moved to the North East to study at Newcastle University where I graduated in 2007, and it has been my home ever since. I am dedicated to postgraduate education and passed the Member of the Faculty of Dental Surgeons examination from the Royal College of Surgeons in 2010. I enjoy all aspects of dentistry but have a particular interest in minimally invasive aesthetic dentistry, restorative dentistry and cosmetic braces, being proficient in Invisalign, 6 Month Smiles and the Inman Aligner. I have completed numerous courses and learned from leaders in their fields including the prestigious one-to-one 18 month implant course at Sheffield University and a year long aesthetic and restorative dentistry course with Dr Chris Orr. I enjoy putting nervous patients at ease and helping them overcome their fear of coming to the dentist and take great pride in providing high quality dental treatment. Working at the Dental Hospital as a part time Associate Clinical Lecturer where I teach final year dental students is also a great part of my week.

Facial Aesthetics

We offer a range of professional facial aesthetics treatments including Botox and fillers. Patients from across the North East trust our team of experts, and if you’re based in South Tyneside, South Shields, Whitburn and Cleadon, then we’re conveniently located for you.

Teeth Whitening

Tooth whitening is the process of removing stains from the enamel of your teeth by applying a special whitening material. The whitening material penetrates the outer layer of the enamel and takes out stains that cannot be removed otherwise.

Our cosmetic dentistry services include veneers, bridges, crowns, dentures and tooth-coloured fillings and we provide these to patients across the North East, South Tyneside, South Shields, Jarrow and Hebburn.
