About us

Dental Practice

In 2012, my vision for a dental practice was made real. Creating and putting into place a dental practice is not an easy proposition. Many of my colleagues would agree that it is one of the most difficult businesses to set up and run effectively. Without continued year-on-year investment in staff and equipment, an effective, efficient caring service cannot be provided.

Here at Darren Bywater Dental Care, that is exactly what we have done. Year on year, investment has been fed back into the practice to make it one of the most advanced and envied dental practices in the East Midlands.  In the beginning, I began my business with one dentist…myself. Our success and expansion over these few years are a testimony to our commitment to patient care. We now have 33 members of staff. Four general dentists, eight special interest dentists, one facial aesthetician, five hygienists/therapists, one clinical dental technician, eight dental nurses and six support staff.

Central to our success is our core value of Patient Care. All our staff are aware that patient needs are a priority. This is seen in every aspect of our business.

I invite you to visit and experience real caring dentistry and recognise how a practice really cares for your needs, and let us move forward together to a bright future for your dental health.

If it wasn’t for Charlotte and Natalie I wouldn’t be visiting a dentist. I’d had a really bad experience somewhere else and hadn’t visited the dentist in years, until I came to the both of them. I don’t fear going to the dentist anymore thanks to the compassion and understanding they have both shown me.

This is a really great dental practice. My dentist Sunny is superb as is his dental nurse . Everyone is very professional and well trained . Sunny explains everything clearly is very patient and the nurse , Holly , is great too . I would not go anywhere else and I have great confidence in Sunny and his team . Highly recommend.

The practice is local and convenient for myself. The reception staff are always professional and polite. The dentist I see is always very polite and utterly professional and work I have had done previously has been of the highest standard. The dentist who carried out the work was considerate of my needs in terms of the work carried out and made sure I was aware of every step carried out before and during the works. Very happy with everything about Darren Bywater`s practice to date.

My dental needs were met to my total satisfaction. The clinic is clean and well presented. The staff were friendly and helpful. I have mobility problems which were solved by having a ground floor clinic.

I would like to say a huge thank you to Dr Thind for the excellent dental work in replacing my veneer. I’m absolutely delighted with the result – it looks fantastic and has been done with such care and precision. I’d also like to thank Lydia and the Practice Manager, Paul Tew, for their help and support throughout. The whole team made the experience smooth and reassuring from start to finish. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this practice – a truly professional and friendly service.

This was the last in a series of 4 appointments to deal with the removal of an old bridge and the fitting of a new bridge. The course of treatment was carried out as per the plan with no problems and I am very pleased with the new bridge.
