One practice, in one place.
Saltmarsh Dental is one practice, in one place, run by the people who own it.
Priya opened the doors on Harbour Street in 2015 with a simple idea: a local practice where you see the same faces each visit and nobody feels rushed. That hasn’t changed.
We’re deliberately small. That means we can take the time to explain things properly, remember your name and your history, and treat the whole family from the first baby-tooth check-up to the trickier work later in life.
We’re a few streets back from the harbour, easy to get to on the train, and the sort of place you can drop into on your way past.

The people you’ll see
Three practitioners, and the same familiar faces at the front desk.
We’re deliberately small, so we can take the time to know you and your family. Everyone here is registered with the General Dental Council. Their GDC numbers, qualifications and where they qualified are listed with their names below.


Dr Priya Nair
Principal Dentist
GDC No. not shown on demo · BDS (King’s College London, UK)
Priya opened Saltmarsh Dental in 2015 after a decade in busy London practices. She has a soft spot for nervous patients and believes most anxiety comes from not knowing what’s about to happen, so she explains everything as she goes.

Dr Daniel Osei
Dentist
GDC No. not shown on demo · BDS (University of Birmingham, UK)

English, Polish

Mel Carter
Dental Hygienist & Therapist
GDC No. not shown on demo · BSc Dental Hygiene and Therapy (University of Portsmouth, UK)
Mel looks after hygiene appointments and much of the children’s care at Saltmarsh. Kids warm to her quickly, and she’s brilliant at turning a first visit into a good memory rather than a scary one.
