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.

Last upper molar root filling, standard of treatment and care was a step up from what I'm used to.

Brian May

Saw me at short notice, polite and professional staff and friends.

Deepak Kalia

Lilian and her colleague (sorry did not get your name) were extremely professional today. I have put off going to the dentist for a significant period of time and they both did a fantastic job and I had no anxiety throughout the whole process. Would very much recommend them. Thank you Deepak

Sharon Hampson

All staff are very friendly and go that extra mile to make you feel at ease and comfortable The monthly dental plan makes life so easy and affordable it takes the stress out of paying it all in one visit Would definitely recommend Darren Bywater’s dental practice

Vida Douglas

The dentist and dental assistant were friendly, and did a great job removing a tooth. Thanks for putting my mind at ease.

Geoff Archer

I saw the hygienist today, Scarlet was very professional and made me feel very comfortable immediately and gentle with my scale and clean. I cannot recommend highly enough.

John Perks

Routine dental checkup at Hughes and Owen in Swadlincote identified wobbly crown in plant and provided digital copy of x-ray.. Phoned Darren Bywater on a return home and offered next day appointment to investigate. At the appointment? Darren identified that the screw holding the crown in place had worked loose and set to to drill out material covering screw, tighten the screw, and replace covering. Job done! !

Paul Jones

The team are very good at communicating and provide a great deal of information regarding procedures and the care they offer. All contact between me and the clinic has been clear and professional. I would say the fees are on the high side, but I do feel that I am receiving a high quality service for what I am paying, and trust they are providing the best care possible for the amount charged.

Rou Martin

Melissa Osborne

Darren is a great dentist. He has a way of putting you at ease and making you laugh which is nice when having something done that isn't soo nice

Roberto Caranza

Scarlet is an extremely competent and caring hygienist. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her

David Thorne

put off treatment for a tooth that required a filling, as I'm not the biggest fan of going to the dentist, as many people aren't. I had my filling done with Dr Greer who made it as comfortable as possible and was extremely patient with my moaning. Due to making it a challenge, I had to go for a slight adjustment, which was again handled extremely professionally. Very much appreciate the patience and understanding, along with doing a very good job with the required filling.

Patricia Taylor

I have been a patient at this practice for a number of years. I can honestly say it is wonderful experience from reception, dentists and hygienists, they all make going to the dentist so easy. I opted to have some implants a few years ago and any fear disappeared after speaking to Darren Bywater, who exuded confidence in the procedure and I felt calm in going forward. The implants are very successful.If you are looking for a dental practice, I would highly recommend this one.

Paul rouge

Pauline Costa always very methodical.

Kristiana Kikule

I'm very pleased with the care I received at this clinic for my root canal treatment. Dr. Alison Jane Warneken was extremely knowledgeable, ensuring my comfort throughout the procedure, which was completely painless. The service was excellent, and I'll definitely return for future dental needs.

Garry Throw

Recently had hygiene appointments with Scarlett for myself and Sylvia. Scarlett was excellent and also whitened Sylvia's teeth. Extremely pleased with the care and attention.

Nicky Andrews

I currently have immediate dentures following multiple extractions at Darren Bywater Dental Care (22 in total!). The treatment that I have received before, during and after the extractions has been second to none and I am now looking forward to receiving my permanent dentures in approximately 3 months time when healing is complete. I would not hesitate to recommend this dental practice.
