Why Todmorden patients choose us for dental check-ups

Todmorden is just over the county line, but in reality we are its nearest neighbour to the south. Many Todmorden patients find it quicker to come down the valley to Littleborough than to travel elsewhere, especially when they need a same-day appointment.

We provide both NHS and private dental care. At each check-up your dentist examines your teeth, gums, tongue and soft tissues, checks old fillings and crowns, and takes X-rays when they are needed. Everything is explained in plain English, and you will always be told about your options and their costs before anything happens.

Our dentists keep up to date with the latest developments in dentistry, and other dentists in the area refer their difficult or specialist cases to us. That experience is there for every patient, from a first check-up to complex restorative work.

Getting here from Todmorden

We are about 6 miles from Todmorden, roughly fifteen minutes by car along the A6033 through Walsden and Summit. Trains on the Calder Valley line run from Todmorden to Littleborough in around ten minutes.
