Metal braces remain a highly effective and reliable option for correcting complex orthodontic issues. Made of high-grade stainless steel, traditional braces gradually shift teeth into their proper positions using metal brackets and wires.
Clear aligner systems, such as Invisalign, offer a discreet and convenient alternative to traditional braces. These custom-made aligners are virtually invisible and can be removed for eating, brushing, and special occasions, making them a popular choice among adult patients.
Lingual braces are placed behind the teeth, making them virtually invisible from the outside. This option is ideal for individuals who desire a discreet orthodontic treatment but prefer the reliability of traditional braces.
Orthodontic treatment offers numerous benefits beyond just cosmetic improvements. By achieving proper alignment and bite function, orthodontics can:
Straight teeth are easier to clean and maintain, reducing the risk of tooth decay, gum disease, and other oral health issues.
Properly aligned teeth improve bite function and chewing efficiency, allowing for better digestion and overall oral function.
Orthodontic treatment can help prevent or alleviate problems such as tooth wear, jaw pain, and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders.
A straighter, more attractive smile can enhance self-esteem and confidence, leading to improved social and professional interactions.

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.

Orthodontic treatment focuses on correcting the alignment of teeth and jaws to improve both function and aesthetics. At Lonsdale Dental Practice, we provide comprehensive assessments to determine the best solution for each patient. Our experienced team uses advanced techniques to treat issues such as crowding, spacing, and bite irregularities. Orthodontic treatment isn’t just about creating a beautiful smile—it also improves oral health by making teeth easier to clean and reducing the risk of long-term dental problems. Patients receive personalised orthodontic care tailored to their needs, helping to achieve lasting and life changing results.
Braces are made up of brackets, archwires, and elastic components that work together to gradually move teeth into their correct position. At Lonsdale Dental Practice, we use high-quality materials designed for both effectiveness and comfort. Traditional braces feature durable metal brackets, while more discreet options, such as ceramic braces, blend with the natural colour of your teeth. Every material we use is carefully selected for safety, reliability, and aesthetics. Under the care of our experienced team, patients benefit from braces that are not only effective, but also tailored to their preferences and needs.
Schedule your consultation today with our team in Kirkby Lonsdale, Cumbria to discover how fixed braces can transform your smile. This reliable treatment option effectively corrects misaligned teeth, overcrowding, and bite issues, helping you achieve lasting results and improved oral health. At Lonsdale Dental Practice, countless patients have already experienced the life-changing benefits of fixed braces, gaining not only straighter teeth but also renewed confidence in their smiles. With personalised care and ongoing support, our team is here to guide you every step of the way towards the smile you have always wanted.
Braces work by applying gentle, consistent pressure to the teeth over time, gradually moving them into the desired position. Brackets are attached to the teeth and connected by an archwire, which is adjusted periodically by our orthodontic team. Elastic bands may also be used to correct bite alignment. At Lonsdale Dental Practice, we plan each step of the process with precision, using modern diagnostic tools to predict and monitor tooth movement. This ensures that treatment is both safe and effective. Our patients trust our experts in Kirkby Lonsdale, Cumbria to deliver results that improve oral health and create lasting smiles.
The cost of braces varies depending on the complexity of the case, the type of braces chosen, and the length of treatment required. At Lonsdale Dental Practice, we focus on providing transparent pricing and exceptional value for our patients. While braces are an investment, they deliver lifelong benefits, from improved oral health to enhanced confidence. We offer a range of solutions to suit different needs and budgets, ensuring patients can make informed choices. For precise details, we invite you to view our Price List page, where costs for orthodontic treatments are outlined clearly and honestly.

The length of orthodontic treatment depends on the individual case, but most patients wear braces for 12 to 24 months. Some minor corrections may take less time, while more complex cases may require longer treatment. At Lonsdale Dental Practice, we provide clear timelines during the consultation phase, supported by digital scans and treatment planning tools. Regular adjustments by our orthodontic team ensure progress is steady and predictable. Our goal is to achieve lasting, stable results that go beyond aesthetics to improve bite function and overall oral health. Each journey is carefully guided by our experts in Kirkby Lonsdale, Cumbria.
It’s normal to feel mild discomfort when braces are first fitted or after adjustments, but this usually subsides within a few days. At Lonsdale Dental Practice, we take every step to minimise discomfort, using modern techniques and gentle adjustments. Over-the-counter pain relief and orthodontic wax can also help ease any irritation. Most patients adapt quickly and continue with their daily activities as normal. With the support of our team, wearing braces becomes a manageable and positive experience. Our empathetic approach ensures that every patient feels supported while under the care of our team in Kirkby Lonsdale, Cumbria.
