Your family’s smile deserves more than just care—it deserves kindness, trust, and excellence.
Finding the right dental practice for your family isn’t just about convenience—it’s about trust, safety, and peace of mind. For parents in Leicester and the surrounding areas, that decision carries even more weight.
According to the latest NHS dental statistics, a significant number of children in the East Midlands start school having already experienced tooth decay. Choosing the right dental partner early is one of the most important health decisions you can make for your family.
Naturally, parents want a practice that feels welcoming, prioritises children’s wellbeing, offers NHS availability, and maintains the highest clinical standards. Knighton Dental Practice checks every box—and then some.
Here’s why we’re consistently rated as a top choice by Leicester families just like yours.
From the first phone call to the moment you arrive, our team works to create a positive and stress-free experience.
As one parent recently shared:
“The reception staff are so friendly and organised, which makes a real difference when you’re juggling appointments for the whole family.”
We understand the difference a calm welcome can make—especially when little ones are in tow.
Our practice has been thoughtfully designed to make visits easier for families. With level flooring for easy pram access, baby changing facilities, and a comfortable waiting area, we make sure your child feels safe and at ease before they even reach the chair.
As noted in our official Care Quality Commission (CQC) report, the practice is fully accessible and responsive to patients’ needs.
Dental anxiety is common, affecting nearly half of UK adults according to the Oral Health Foundation—often stemming from difficult childhood experiences. We’re here to change that narrative.
One of our favourite success stories comes from a local mum whose 4-year-old daughter was scared about getting a filling:
“The dentist was ever so gentle, and the receptionist gave her a sticker afterwards. She walked out smiling.”
These small acts of kindness are what define our care.
At Knighton Dental, we provide high-quality care for every generation—all under one roof.
We believe prevention is the best approach, especially for growing smiles. That’s why we offer:
