Years of
experience

When it comes to giving patients a smile to be proud of, Lonsdale Dental Practice is the dentist to trust!
Clear aligners are nearly invisible, allowing for discreet teeth straightening without drawing attention.
Made from smooth plastic, clear aligners minimize irritation to gums and cheeks, unlike traditional braces with metal brackets and wires.
Clear aligners are removable for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing, making oral hygiene maintenance easier and allowing for enjoyment of favorite foods.
Clear aligners can address a variety of orthodontic issues, from crowding to mild to moderate bite problems, for both teenagers and adults.
Designed to gradually shift teeth into desired positions according to a predetermined plan, clear aligners offer predictable results that patients can visualize before treatment begins.
At Lonsdale Dental Practice, we are proud to offer modern orthodontic solutions such as clear aligners in Kirkby Lonsdale in Cumbria. Designed to straighten teeth discreetly and comfortably, clear aligners are ideal for patients who want to improve their smile without the visibility of traditional braces. Our team combines advanced digital technology with years of orthodontic expertise to create personalised treatment plans. From initial consultation to your final smile, we focus on precision, comfort, and results. Patients across the region trust us for orthodontic care that blends innovation with an empathetic, patient-first approach.
Choosing clear aligners offers several advantages over traditional orthodontics. They are virtually invisible, allowing patients to undergo treatment without noticeable appliances. Being removable, aligners make it easier to maintain good oral hygiene and enjoy meals without restrictions. At Lonsdale Dental Practice, we provide clear aligners in Kirkby Lonsdale in Cumbria that are custom-made for comfort and precision, ensuring predictable results. Patients also appreciate the convenience of fewer appointments and quicker progress updates through digital planning. With benefits that combine aesthetics, comfort, and practicality, clear aligners represent a modern, patient-friendly approach to achieving a straighter, healthier smile.
Both braces and clear aligners are effective orthodontic solutions, but the right choice depends on the complexity of the case. Braces may be more suitable for severe misalignments, while aligners are ideal for patients seeking a discreet, removable option. At Lonsdale Dental Practice, we guide patients through the pros and cons of each method, ensuring they make the decision that best suits their goals and lifestyle. By offering both treatments, we ensure flexibility and choice. Patients interested in clear aligners in Kirkby Lonsdale in Cumbria can trust our team to recommend the most suitable option for lasting results.

I joined Lonsdale practice 3 years ago and I would highly recommend it! At the time I had few teeth left on my upper jaw, only some in front but nothing left on the sides. Therefore, I could not eat normally, I couldn't chew anything and I would not smile. I joined this practice because they were proposing non-titanium implants made of zirconia. Barry did the work with the implants and it changed my life! I have zirconia implants since 3 years now and I am very happy. It's like having new teeth. Ben has also done lots of work on my teeth. The whole team is just wonderful: Barry and Ben the dentists, the lovely ladies dental assistants, the dental nurse, the dental hygienists and the secretary. Everyone is nice, helpful, patient, and very professional. If you are looking for a dental practice that you can trust 100%, Lonsdale Practice is the right one. Many thanks to Lonsdale dental team!

I recently switched to Lonsdale Dental Practice and couldn't recommend them more. The staff are all lovely, welcoming and none judgmental. I'm a VERY nervous patient and I used to struggle to face going to the dentist but have seen Ben 3-4 times now and left feeling very relaxed. The hygienists are also very gentle and I actually look forward to seeing them now! Something I never thought would be possible. Thanks Ben & Team :)

5-Star Review After putting it off for years, I finally took the plunge and had dental corrective work done by Barry Rimmer. I can say with absolute confidence that it was one of the best decisions I’ve made for my health. Barry is, in my opinion, one of the leading professionals in TMJ and jaw-corrective dentistry. From start to finish, Barry and the entire team made the process not only completely worry-free but, surprisingly, genuinely enjoyable. Their level of care, expertise, and attention to detail far exceeded my expectations. I wholeheartedly recommend Barry to anyone seeking a higher level of professionalism and skill than you’ll find at an average dental practice. A truly outstanding experience.

I have just joined the practice after my previous dental practice (NHS) had no room following retirement of my regular dentist. I spoke to people and got a very strong recommendation for Lonsdale Dental Practice. I had a very thorough initial primary check up with Ben who then explained what treatment I required and showed me x rays and photographs of my teeth & gums. This was followed up with a very full comprehensive e mail report with all the x rays & photographs included and recommended treatment picked up on the initial inspection. I have been very impressed by everyone from reception staff, hygienist (Ella), the dental nurses and of course Ben. I have just returned home having finished an appointment with Ben when I had root canal treatment and treatment for an abscess. I was very nervous about the treatment after listening to stories about root canal treatment - BUT - it was just amazing, the treatment I had was incredible, no pain at all and the longer it went on I became more and more relaxed. Ben kept me fully informed all the way through the process putting me totally at ease. To me, the whole process and outcome has been tremendous and I would very strongly recommend the practice Thank you to everyone.

Delighted with the end result and the attention to detail and care received from Barry Rimmer and his team. My consultation at the beginning was extremely thorough, and I was expertly guided through each procedure before I decided on treatment. So I knew exactly what to expect. I have had 6 extractions, 2 bone grafts sedation twice 3 implants, and a bridge. All of my treatment has taken place carefully over a period of around one year, as with each procedure involves time to heal. How these people go to Turkey and have this done in a week is ridiculous I’m so pleased I was recommended this practice for my implants. I am really over the moon Thank you, everyone - confident smiles all round! Bottom set we’ll work on next year!!+0

Ben is a friendly and very talented dentist who I have been going to for years. He is very good at discussing options and I trust him completely. Everyone is welcoming and really friendly and I would thoroughly recommend Lonsdale Dental practice. As an update from the previous review above I would add that I have found Ben's approach to be calm, sympathetic and reassuring and his dental work exemplary. He is justifiably proud of his precision work and will sit down with you next to X-rays and discuss options. I had quite a lot of work done initially due previous poor NHS dentistry and I am in no doubt Ben's work saved a few extractions. Some of Ben's root canals and crowns were done years ago and are still absolutely fine now and have stood the test of time.

Such a great practice, lovely friendly staff and great dentistry at competitive prices. I joined the Practice recently and decided to have whitening & composite fillings to my front teeth which had worn down & had also surface erosion near the gum. The results are amazing! I am thrilled! The whitening took my teeth several shades whiter, the trays are done via a scanner in house so no nasty moulds or long wait whilst the trays are made. I’ve had whitening before but it didn't give the same results as this one! Ben took great care with my composite fillings to make sure they were smooth, colour matched and importantly that I was happy with them. I had considered the erosion to be just part of getting older - I should have had it done years ago! What an amazing difference! Awesome results! So pleased with the outcome. Highly recommended!+1

I recently had Clear Aligner treatment at Lonsdale Dental Practice. The whole team have been very friendly and supportive in answering my questions and I am really happy with the results.

I can't praise this Lonsdale Dental Practice highly enough. Everyone is super friendly and welcoming and the dental care is first class. I have very sensitive teeth and in the past have found hygienist appointments stressful and quite painful. Ella was extremely patient and gentle and the whole experience was not nearly so uncomfortable. Thank you!

Had a fair amount of dental work done after a sporting accident, as someone who's petrified of the dentist the team did an amazing job. Anna did what i thought was the impossible and calmed me right down before Ben relieved some agonising tooth ache(i was almost at the point of some DIY dentristy). Massive thanks to everyone involved, its eased my opinion of the dentist and i wont be leaving until i'm in that much pain before going to see Ben.

I came to Lonsdale Dental Practice because I fell over and badly damaged my front tooth, Ben managed to do a root canal and bleach my tooth, this relieved the pain I was feeling and it also helped with the appearance of my tooth. I am now having fixed braces with Barry and the treatment is going really well, there has been a positive noticeable change in my tooth placement. I am really thankful to both Ben, Barry and everyone at Lonsdale Dental Practice.

Hi Abbie, Thank you for your kind words, we are always happy to help and are glad that we were able to stop the pain. We are also glad to hear that you are happy with the progress of your braces. We look forward to seeing you again soon!

Treatment time with clear aligners varies depending on individual needs, but many patients achieve results within 6 to 18 months. At Lonsdale Dental Practice, we create a personalised timeline based on a detailed digital assessment, ensuring that patients know what to expect before treatment begins. Regular reviews and adjustments help keep the process on track, with progress visible as teeth gradually shift into place. Patients choosing clear aligners in Kirkby Lonsdale in Cumbria benefit from predictable, well-managed treatment schedules that deliver long-lasting results, balancing speed with precision to create smiles that are both healthy and aesthetically pleasing.
Wearing clear aligners may cause mild discomfort when starting a new set, as the teeth begin to shift. However, this sensation usually eases within a few days and is generally less noticeable than with fixed braces. At Lonsdale Dental Practice, we design aligners for maximum comfort, ensuring they fit securely and gently. Our patients report that any initial tightness quickly becomes manageable. By choosing clear aligners in Kirkby Lonsdale in Cumbria, patients can undergo orthodontic treatment with minimal disruption to daily life, enjoying a straighter smile without the discomfort often associated with traditional orthodontic appliances.
