About us

How to find us

Our practice sits in the heart of Welwyn Garden City, a town dreamed up by Ebenezer Howard back in 1920 as the “perfect town.” He had a vision of tree-lined streets, wide grassy verges, and a sense of open space, and honestly, he nailed it. We’re lucky to be close to the scenic parkway, so even the journey here feels pleasant.

Parking is simple and free. You’ll find spaces right outside in the layby, or just a short stroll away on nearby streets. There’s also parking in Shoplands if you prefer. Need to pick up a few bits after your appointment? The Co-op pharmacy and a handful of local shops are just around the corner.

If you’re coming by bus, it couldn’t be easier. The stop is right outside our door, and you’ll be inside within a couple of minutes.

Stepping into our practice, you’ll notice it feels calm from the moment you walk in. The walls are painted in soothing sea-blue tones, and large seascape canvases add a touch of the coast to every treatment room. Those colours aren’t just for show, they’re chosen to help you feel relaxed and at ease.

We’re also proud of the people who make up our team. Many of our staff have been with the practice for a long time, and a number have been with us for decades; in fact, one has been part of Knightsfield for over 50 years. That kind of loyalty says a lot about the care we give, both to our patients and to each other.

If you’d like, you can even pop on a pair of headphones during your treatment and choose your own music. It’s a small touch, but it helps you settle in and makes the experience a lot more comfortable.

Booking an appointment

Whether you’re a new patient or one of our membership plans, we’re here to help and look forward to hearing from you.

Please call our friendly reception team on WhatsApp or email us at contact@knightsfielddental.com to arrange an appointment. If you have any specific needs, such as longer appointment times or access requirements, just let us know when booking. We’ll endeavour to accommodate you.

We know your time is valuable, and we do everything we can to run on schedule. Please try to arrive a few minutes early for your appointment. If you can’t make it, we kindly ask for at least 24 hours’ notice, so we can try to use these appointments for other patients. Short-notice cancellations or missed appointments may result in a fee, and repeated no-shows could affect your ability to book future appointments. This helps us make the most of our time for all patients.

Emergency appointments

If you’re an existing patient and have a genuine dental emergency, we’ll endeavour to see you within 24 hours. If you’re new to the practice and need urgent care, just give us a call. We’ll always try to help as quickly as possible. Please call as early in the day as possible. We’ll do our utmost to fit you in, though we may not always be able to offer a set appointment time.

For urgent care outside our regular hours, you can contact the local out-of-hours dental service:

  • Call 0845 603 1409 for the local on-call dentist.
  • Or NHS 111 for further help.

Patient feedback

Your feedback matters to us. Whether it’s a compliment or a concern, we’d love to hear from you. You can fill out a feedback form in our waiting room or speak to any member of the team directly.

I recently had some dental issues with broken teeth and saw Maya for a check-up. Maya gave me options to get my teeth repaired, and I now have 2 lovely new white fillings. I had also misplaced my denture, and Maya made me a new one, which fits so well and is so comfortable. The treatment from start to finish was explained in detail, and I’m really happy with the final results. I highly recommend this dental practice and am pleased to have found such a friendly, helpful team.

Today I had the ‘pleasure’ of a shiny new filling by Nishma, who has become a bit of a household name around here! The kids love her, and now, I have to pretend to be “Dentist Daddy” when brushing their teeth (inspired by Nishma)!

Zero pain.
100% friendliness.
On time.
In and out in 30 minutes.

As always, a lovely experience. Well, aside from the bill, I guess, but thanks to the UK Govt, we have to pay for dental treatment these days, and Nishma’s expertise comes at a fair and appropriate cost. Thanks, Nishma (and your lovely colleague) for a smooth experience (and smooth filling too)!

What a fantastic practice! My son was absolutely terrified to enter the dental practice, but Sarah at reception and our dentist, Fatima, were both absolutely amazing with him and calmed him down quickly. Their customer service was some of the best I have experienced anywhere.

Very professional team. Always on time. Very clean premises. Friendly staff. They seem up-to-date with new techniques and equipment. They take pride in their work. I have had several dentists at this practice over the years, but they are all very good at their job. Can recommend.

Recently changed my dentist to a local one and I have found all the staff here very friendly, caring and most importantly, understanding in terms of my ongoing oral health care. Treatment has been exceptional, easy and importantly pain pain-free and appropriate. Thank you, Anita, Maya and the team.

Totally recommend this Dental Surgery! Maya and her team were very professional and kind. I cannot express how grateful I am to have new crowns and a bridge so that I can smile with confidence. They talked me through every stage, and the final result was brilliant.

Always delighted with the results of any treatment I receive. Face may crumble with age, but my smile shows the benefit of long years of care from Knightsfield Dental Practice.

Since Anita has been taking care of my teeth, I have been highly satisfied with Knightsfield Dental Practice. She is always bright, positive, caring and very clear about treatment options, which she executes professionally and well. Love my visits now.

I had an old filing replaced. The procedure was delivered very well, and in a nice, calm atmosphere. The anaesthetic took quite a long time to ease off – more like 4 hours before I could feel my bottom lip and cheek, but I’d rather that than feel the procedure (which I didn’t).

I had an old filling that had to be replaced, and I had the treatment today. I can honestly say it was the most relaxing treatment; I didn’t feel a thing, and the dentist and her dental nurse were brilliant.

My treatment was concisely explained from start to finish, including aftercare. I was reminded of each appointment both by phone and email. The professionalism and diligence of Maya, Sarah and all staff were faultless.

I had to go to this practice as an emergency, being a very nervous patient, I can not tell you how nice they were. The dentist informed me of what treatment should be done, and the dental nurse was lovely and held my hand throughout the tooth extraction; they even gave me a coping strategy to use. Cannot recommend them enough, all staff were lovely and friendly.
