Every child settles in at their own pace. At Harpley Dental, we give them time to get comfortable with us and the care they’re about to receive, and to ask any questions they may have. It’s completely normal for some kids to feel nervous about a dental visit. We understand, and we’re here to help change that, one child at a time.

Those early trips to the dentist are about much more than checking little teeth. They’re a chance for kids to get used to the chair, meet their dentist, ask plenty of questions and discover that a dental visit isn’t something to fear.
Regular children’s dental check-ups also give us the chance to keep an eye on growing teeth and gums, spot any concerns early and share practical tips for looking after their smile at home.
From your toddler’s first-tooth visit to your teenager’s mouthguard fitting, we’ll take the time to make every appointment a positive one.
To celebrate the opening of Harpley Dental, we’ve made children’s check-ups even more affordable, with two special offers for our younger patients.
Bring your little one in for a gentle introduction to the dentist, with plenty of time to get familiar with the surroundings and have those first little teeth checked.
A great way to stay on top of growing smiles, with a thorough dental examination & professional clean.
X-Rays not included.

From first check-ups to mouthguards for sporty teens, there’s a lot that happens between those first tiny teeth and a full set of grown-up ones. We’re here for all of it, with gentle care, practical advice and plenty of encouragement along the way.
Myobrace® is a removable pre-orthodontic treatment. It may be recommended for some children to address oral habits and support the development of the teeth and jaws.
If we think Myobrace® may benefit your child, we'll explain how it works, what's involved and whether it's suitable for their individual needs.
A trip to the dentist can feel like a big deal, especially when it’s their early visits. So, we’ve thought about what makes it easier for kids and their parents. A friendly face, time to settle in, something fun to watch and appointments that don’t turn the whole family schedule upside down.
Our kids’ corner gives younger patients somewhere to play and get familiar with their surroundings before it’s time to hop into the dental chair.
Once they’re in the chair, ceiling-mounted TVs give kids something else to focus on while we get on with looking after their teeth.
We’ll explain what’s going to happen in words kids understand, introduce them to a few of our tools and let them see what they do before we get started. No surprises, and no rushing.
School. Sport. Play dates. Life gets busy. With late appointments on Thursdays and weekend availability, it’s easier to find a time that works for your family.
We offer a range of payment options to help make dental care more accessible for you and your family.
Look for someone who understands that every child will approach the dentist differently. A child-friendly dentist should be patient, explain things in age-appropriate language and give children the time they need to become familiar with their surroundings.
At Harpley Dental, we’ve also designed our children’s dental clinic with families in mind. There’s a kids’ corner for playtime, ceiling-mounted TVs for some in-chair entertainment and appointments available later on Thursdays and across the weekend to make fitting in a visit easier for parents too.
From first check-ups to teenage tooth troubles, we’re here to make every dental visit one they feel good about.
