At Parrock Dental in Kent, we believe in a preventative approach to dentistry. Our research shows that patients who regularly visit a dentist and a hygienist will have the healthiest teeth and gums and require the least amount of dental treatment in the future.

Protecting your oral health in Kent

At some point, you may want or need cosmetic dentistry, orthodontics or dental implants and your treatment programme will hugely be reliant on your oral health.

If you live in Northfleet, Rochester or in Kent and need a dental hygienist, book an appointment today.

Why is your oral health so important?

Your oral health is closely linked to your general health and studies have found that systemic diseases such as heart disease and diabetes may show initial signs or symptoms first in the mouth.

Our hygiene professionals closely monitor your oral health and make recommendations if they see anything untoward or suspicious.

Hygienists provide a huge amount of information on how to best care for your teeth, gums and mouth and how to keep them healthy. They will demonstrate how to best clean and floss your teeth as well as providing information on diet, lifestyle and other factors which promote oral hygiene.

Well what a wonderful service I have received from this Dental Practice. Rik was so empathetic and caring from the first day I met him. My complex bone grafts and implants were perhaps very challenging. But i5 did not phase Rik, as he is a perfectionist in his own right. Absolutely fantastic team from receptionists to nurses and the after care was wonderful too. For me it has been an honour and a privilege to have found my perfect Dentist, who now is giving me back my perfect smile ☺ Thank you all so much for helping me through my difficult and complex needs. Both me and my partner highly recommend your professional services completely. ♡♡♡♡♡♡

My molars have been difficult for years, until I found Parrock Dental. I've been treated with respect and kindness and given the best treatment that I could've wanted.So far, I've had a couple of teeth rebuilt, rather than patched up, and I've had one implant.Dr Rik is so reassuring and professional and the whole team looks after you so well.I am very happy with my implant, it is comfortable and easy to use and keep clean, the colour blends into my mouth perfectly.I also discovered how useful dental hygiene treatment and advice is. I had no idea how to get rid of my swollen gums nor that you should have actual gaps between your teeth at gum level. I have always been to the dentist twice a year, however no one has talked about brushing at an angle between the gum and the tooth!Thank you Parrock Dental, I wish that I'd come to you years ago.

I've just completed my full mouth dental implant treatment with Rik. As somebody who suffered severe nervousness and anxiety about going to the dentist I couldn't have asked for better treatment.From the moment I walked into the surgery I felt relaxed and discussing my treatment plan with Rik and his team was completely stress free. Rik has a very relaxed manner and explained everything clearly even on the day of my surgery.My mouth was full of broken teeth with several missing altogether, I suffered pain when chewing and was very conscious of how my smile looked. That has all changed now and I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Rik and the team.If, like I was, your teeth are in a mess, then don't hesitate to contact Parrock Dental & Implant Centres. They can and will sort you out!

After having two bridges fitted in my childhood these both failed at the same time requiring 4 implants (I also required two half crowns). I was new to the practice but found the staff welcoming, friendly, and very efficient. The treatment and end result has been exceptional - very pleased.

Superb dental surgery. I have just completed my implant journey with Dr Rik. The whole team at Parrock Street are expectional. I did have a phobia off dentists but since i walked into Parrock Street Dental over 15 years ago that phobia dissappeared and i enjoy now visiting the practice. I can not thank Dr Rik and his team enough, On the day off surgery i was very anxious but the team reassured me and Dr Rik approach made me feel at ease (I was panicing over nothing) Having implants was the best decision I have made. I can now smile without hiding my gaps and my confidences has grown. As soon as you enter the surgery your greeted with a warm welcoming and feel at ease instantly. Thank you Dr Rik and your excellent team.
