About us

Atkinson Brignall Caring Dentistry is a family and specialist dental practice based in the heart of Sevenoaks, Kent. Ian and Miles, our founding dentists, each spent many years working in the local area before bringing their expertise together in 2008, in a beautiful Grade II listed building that was once home to the old Lady Boswell School.

Since then, the practice has grown steadily, welcoming a wider team of skilled clinicians. Alongside our general dentists, we now have colleagues with specialist interests in paediatric dentistry, endodontics, orthodontics, periodontics, oral surgery and implantology, meaning most of our patients can have the majority of their care met right here in Sevenoaks.

We take time to listen carefully to what matters to you, and shape our recommendations around your individual needs. Prevention sits at the heart of everything we do, and we are just as focused on helping you maintain a healthy, comfortable mouth as we are on delivering beautiful, long-lasting results when treatment is needed.

Whatever brings you to see us, our aim is simple: to treat you exactly as we would want to be treated ourselves, in a practice that feels relaxed, welcoming and genuinely caring.

Professional, efficient and friendly.Problem solved very quickly.

14th September 2026

Dr Atkinson always greets me on arrival. He settles me down and makes me comfortable before explaining exactly what treatment he is going to carry out. His personal manner is always excellent sharing both his humour and dental knowledge at all times. Dr Atkinson has been my dentist for over 15 years during which time I have highly recommended him to numerous friends and relatives.

10th September 2026

I have been a client for over 20 years & have always had punctual, caring & highly satisfactory appointments. The care given by my dentist is exemplary & he always explains everything. I would never consider changing to another Practice. The reception staff are polite, knowledgeable & helpful too.

9th September 2026

Friendly, approachable clinician , explained everything in detail, listened to my needs. Professional in every way. Certainly recommend the dental practice.

9th September 2026

I always receive exceptional care at the practice. I am always listened to and my queries are always answered and not rushed.The only thing I was surprised with was the price of the hygiene appointment in that I didn't realise it was more expensive to have the airflow treatment. I would have appreciated knowing that first before agreeing to it.

Staff are friendly and efficient. The premises are spotlessly clean. Procedures and charges are all properly explained and the patients needs are prioritised throughout.

Dr Patel and Gemma were amazing, so patient with me, excellent bedside manner! They really took their time to make sure I was as comfortable as I could be (in the circumstances!) and I really appreciated Dr Patel explaining each step of the process with me.

4th September 2026

I am pleased to have found a reliable dental surgeon. I enjoy seeing Miles. The airflow service is a great innovation.

3rd September 2026

Ian and team are very professional, friendly and thoughtful. Reception did not know hygenist collects / recycles interdental brushes / devices, despite fact has been doing it for some time. Felt a bit lax, tbh.

I had my first visit to Atkinson Brignall's dental hygienist, Paula, this week. She and her assistant were very welcoming and explained clearly what would happen. The whole process was done very well and I have a much clearer idea of which areas to concentrate on going forward. Thank you ladies.
