It should be noted that as we are a Grade 2* Listed property, we, unfortunately, cannot impact the fabric of the building, meaning we do not have any disabled toilet facilities on-site. The toilets are a good size and a private toilet in the staff room can be used with the help of a carer if needed.

Why do patients choose us?

Your smile, confidence and wellbeing are at the forefront of everything we do at Dorset Dental Implants. With more than 55 combined years of experience in dentistry, we pride ourselves on providing not only excellent service but also the highest quality of care.

Highly Experienced Principal Dentist

Philip McCauley is the expert leading our team, in the top 5% of implant dentists in the UK, for his vast implant experience. He has been placing and restoring dental implants from single teeth options to advanced smile rehabilitation with dental implants for over 25 years.

Philip qualified from Queens University, Belfast, with a Bachelor of Dental Surgery and an additional degree in Pathology. Early on in his career, he took up the position at Poole Hospital as Senior House Officer within the maxillofacial department, gaining enormous surgical training and mentorship from Professor Illankovan and others.

He has travelled worldwide for his long career in dental implants to learn innovative techniques and technologies to master rehabilitation of immediately placed implants for the benefit of our patients. Philip runs a restorative implant mentorship for dentists to learn the restorative applications of dental implants. He is widely recognized as one of the UK’s most experienced dental implant surgeons.

His passion for dentistry and drive to learn how to better serve his patients are credits to Dorset Dental Clinic.

Philip has placed over 7,000 implants since 2002, so you know you’re in great hands.

Personalised Dental Care

We understand that every case is unique, so we provide tailored treatments to give you the best service, value for money and care without compromising quality.

We have invested in state-of-the-art diagnostic imaging for innovative solutions to your new smile design, for example, we use 3D scanning instead of gooey impressions for a more pleasant experience and the most accurate results, and on-site CBCT scanner and radiographs to give highly detailed diagnostics to plan your treatment with the utmost care and reliability.

High-quality Aftercare

We don’t forget about our patients as soon as they leave the practice.
From your first consultation, we will be by your side to make sure your recovery is as smooth as possible.

One of the ways we achieve this is by liaising directly with your dentist. We will discuss all aspects of your treatment
and aftercare with your dentist, so you don’t have to worry about any potential gaps in your aftercare.

We have invested in the latest hygiene technology (EMS AIRFLOW) to enable us to care for your teeth and dental implants most effectively and comfortably. It uses state-of-the-art powder technology and heated water, removing all biofilm without scratching teeth, implants, crowns, etc. It feels like a spa for your teeth but is, in fact, more effective than old-fashioned hygiene appointments. Our referred patients can have their own hygienist take care of their teeth, and our service is available to provide a comprehensive implant review at the appropriate time.

Lifetime guarantee: All our dental implants and components come with a lifetime guarantee,
so if there is ever an issue, you can be confident that it will be solved with no hassle.

Eco-friendly Dentistry

Just as we invest in caring for our patients, we also look after our planet. Our eco-friendly mindset allows us to minimise our impact on the environment.

We use locally sourced organic hand wash from Shaftesbury and Neals Yard, which is packaged in Dorset without plastic, chemical-free room diffusers from Purbeck Candles, sterilised non-plastic cups, and no single-use plastics.

We aim to support as many local small businesses with the same ethos as ourselves as possible, which also saves the distance our products travel! For example, Dorset Tea and Moores biscuits are made in Dorset.

We also offer a dental product recycling facility and an aligner recycling facility in the clinic for items that cannot go through curbside recycling. We save 357 plastic bottles each year using our local organic milk delivery in glass bottles. You will also notice bamboo toilet rolls, which are plastic-free (delivered in cardboard), and a tree is planted for every box we buy!

Accessible to all

There is simply no need to travel to central London to find the best quality dental implants.

We are proudly based in the heart of Poole, with excellent transport links to suit all patients in Dorset.

If you are travelling by car, we offer on-site parking at the rear of the clinic (please use BH15 2DB on maps/sat nav to find this more accurately). We are also close to shops and cafes for those visiting with a friend or partner. See our Contact Us page for video directions to our car park.

Whether you need single dental implants, full arch implants or bone grafting, we can help you to achieve your perfect smile.

Our Story

Dorset Dental Clinic’s launch in the summer of 2018 at the Italian Villa in Compton Acres set the stage for our vision. We offer, amongst plenty of other things, a social event for patients and clinicians alike, where together we can exchange knowledge and experiences to empower change and create a new kind of partnership for referring dentists.

The video below takes you through our launch night and ends with a few patient testimonials to give you an idea of what it is like to be a patient with us.

If you want to jump straight to the testimonials, move the video to about 1 minute 40 seconds.

We are fortunate to be an independent practice, as we are family run we can maintain the friendly, personal, caring touch we have become known for by our loyal following of patients. We have been the new face of dentistry, leading the way in a new and improved modern patient journey and have become well known for alleviating dental anxiety in even the most fearful patients.

This service was registered by CQC on 8 October 2018. New services are assessed to check they are likely to be safe, effective, caring, responsive, and well-led.
