The Dentist at Liberty Place ★9.7

Private dentistry in the convention quarter, with special interests inside one team

The Dentist at Liberty Place treats privately only. It was established in Birmingham in 2000 by Hannah Clark and Colin Pocock, and Hannah Clark still works here alongside Amy Waddington and Maria Sotto-Mayor. Care at this location is now delivered under Rodericks Dental Partners, the organisation the Care Quality Commission registers for the site. The strength is the depth of the rota: root canal work, implants and orthodontics each belong to a dentist who trained further in that field.

Treatments and services

Twenty-one treatments are listed. Routine care covers check-ups, fillings, extractions and children’s prevention with fissure sealants and fluoride varnish. Restorative work runs to inlays and onlays, crowns, bridges, dentures and implants, placed singly or to steady a loose denture. Straightening is offered as Invisalign, fixed braces, removable appliances and children’s braces; cosmetic dentistry covers bonding, veneers, whitening and smile makeovers, with facial aesthetics alongside. Night guards, sports guards and snoring devices round out the range.

Hygiene and gum health

Six hygienists work in step with the dentists rather than separately. Airflow polishing — compressed air, water and a fine powder — lifts plaque and staining more gently than scaling alone, and gum disease is treated over staged appointments with coaching on home care. Hygiene can be booked under direct access, without a dentist seeing you first.

The team

Hannah Clark qualified in Newcastle in 1993, places and restores implants after International Team for Implantology training, and is certified in facial aesthetics. Amy Waddington holds a diploma of the Royal College of Surgeons of England and works in adult aligners, and Maria Sotto-Mayor, from Lisbon, works to Style Italiano aesthetic protocols. Jose Silva is clinical lead for orthodontics, Muhammad Adi holds an MSc in implantology, and Vishal Klaire, an MClinDent in endodontology, limits his work to root canals.

Who it suits

City-centre families wanting one private practice for everything, people needing a defined piece of work without being sent elsewhere, and patients who value seeing the same faces for years.
