Meet the Team

Established in Gosforth. Built on experience. Always looking forward.

Dental Solutions has been providing independent dental care in Gosforth for more than 30 years.

The practice was developed by Dr Anthony Cooper with a simple philosophy: to provide high-quality dentistry in a friendly, personal environment, while continually investing in the skills and experience needed to offer more advanced treatment when patients need it.

That commitment has shaped Dental Solutions over the decades. Implant dentistry has been part of the practice since the early 1990s, we have developed a longstanding reputation for accepting referrals and caring for patients with more complex dental needs. Anthony’s contribution to implant dentistry, education and the profession was ultimately recognised with Honorary Membership of the Association of Dental Implantology.

Today, that same commitment to clinical development continues across the wider Dental Solutions team. Our clinicians bring together experience and advanced training across general dentistry, implant dentistry, oral surgery, restorative dentistry, endodontics and dental hygiene. This allows us to look at more complex problems as a team, while continuing to provide the everyday dental care and long-term relationships that have always been at the heart of the practice.

We believe excellent dentistry isn’t simply about treating a tooth. It’s about listening to what matters to each patient, understanding the bigger picture and providing clear, considered options designed around long-term health, function and confidence.

The Next Chapter

Dental Solutions is proud of its history, and we don’t believe in changing things simply for the sake of change. Instead, our focus is on building upon the foundations established over the past three decades. Investing in our people, technology and education, continuing to develop our clinical services, and making it easier for patients and referring dentists to access high-quality care in one place.

As dentistry continues to evolve, so will Dental Solutions, while staying true to the principles that have shaped the practice for more than 30 years. To provide the standard of care we would want for ourselves and our families.
