Welcome to 1st Practice, Hull, where we look forward to providing you with high quality dental service with our prime commitment being preventative dental care.

In dentistry, prevention is always better than the cure and protecting your teeth minimises the amount of dental treatment you should need. We are dedicated to providing regular check-ups and hygienist visits for our patients.

We believe that frequent visits to the hygienist provide the basis for improved dental health. Our dental practice in Hessle, Hull provides the friendly, caring and professional dental service you need.
