Our Story

Uncover What Makes Chic Dental Chic?

Step into Chic Dental, and you’ll quickly notice we do things differently here. Since 2009, we’ve created something special in Preston. A dental practice where you can speak your language, feel at home, and know you’re in expert hands.

What makes us different? It starts with understanding. You’ll hear conversations in English, Spanish, Japanese, Portuguese, Hebrew, and Russian flowing through our practice. Our team speaks 10 languages because we believe everyone deserves to feel understood when it comes to their dental care. But it’s more than just languages that make us unique. It’s seeing familiar faces return year after year, watching families grow with us, and reading the heartfelt reviews from over 270 of your Preston neighbours. These relationships, built on trust and genuine care, are what make our practice special.

This is why Chic Dental feels less like a dental practice and more like visiting a trusted friend who happens to be excellent at caring for your smile. Because ultimately, it’s not just about treating teeth, it’s about caring for people.

Our Team

The Friendly Faces Behind Your Care

At Chic Dental, we’re proud of our diverse team who make our practice special. From our skilled dentists to our caring support staff, each person plays a vital role in ensuring your visit is comfortable and positive.
Together, we speak 10 languages and bring expertise from across the globe, but we share one common goal: providing gentle, understanding care for every Preston smile.
