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.

I received excellent treatment from this wonderful team. Many thanks to Alison, Arjun and nurses for their expertise, the reception staff are also most helpful. A very professional and yet friendly team that help make you feel at ease and that you are in good hands. I highly recommend this dental practice.

Highly recommend this dental practice for their friendly, efficient and professional service. I was referred to the practice by my own dentist for a single implant and am really happy with the result. The whole procedure was clearly outlined to me and all my questions and concerns were addressed. Everything went smoothly and I wouldn’t hesitate to return for any future treatment.

Great dentist! Really friendly, professional and seem to have all the latest technology and procedures. Always clearly explain procedures and happy to answer all your questions. I feel in very safe hands here. When I compare to previous dentists I have used they are by far superior. Shout out to Natalie and Scarlet who are both amazing.

I had a veneer fitted by Darren approximately 17 years ago, which I’ve always been really happy with. Unfortunately, the surrounding upper front teeth had become worn, crooked and had affected my confidence over the years. After building the courage to finally visit a dentist again, I recently returned to Darren Bywater, to see Arjun. Arjun immediately put me at ease, listened to my fears and concerns and we put together a plan. Arjun explained his rationale behind the plan in detail at every stage, consistently put me at ease and has now fitted four crowns to my front teeth. I couldn’t be happier with the results!! This has been a life changing experience for me; in terms of both my confidence with my smile and also my confidence in visiting the dentist. I truly cannot thank and praise Arjun and team enough. I’ll be forever grateful for his patience, understanding and professionalism…as well as the complete smile transformation he has created for me. Thank you, Arjun & team.
