Over 20 Years of Exceptional Cosmetic Dentistry
Riveredge opened in 2000 on the banks of the River Wear in the heart of Sunderland. Dr Ken Harris saw an opportunity to create a Centre of Excellence in the North East focusing on cosmetic dentistry and complex dental reconstruction. His knowledge and experience in this field of dentistry not only improve smiles but also change lives.
Dr Richard Coates has worked with Ken for many years and, like Ken, is one of only 19 dentists in the UK to be accredited with the British Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry. “Young Dentist of the Year” recipient Dr Harry Craig has joined our team, bringing his talents and digital dentistry skills to Riveredge.
As a result of our in-house expertise, we quickly established ourselves as a highly regarded cosmetic dental practice with a sterling reputation in the area and throughout the UK.
In August 2021, Riveredge moved to a brand new premises just off the A1231 in Sunderland. We packed up our highly-trained team and equipment and moved to an impressive, purpose-built dental practice at another spot near the river.
A Soothing Environment — Even for Nervous Patients
Comfort is always key for patients; we know it is much more pleasant to have cosmetic dental treatment carried out in a calm and relaxing setting.
The atmosphere here at Riveredge is all part of your experience. Upon arrival, we want you to walk into the practice and feel at ease. Please let us know if there is anything we can do for you to make your treatment more comfortable. Additionally, if dental treatments make you feel anxious, advise us during your intake so we can create a treatment plan that takes this into account.
A Cosmetic Dental Practice Trusted By Other Dentists
With our reputation in cosmetic dentistry, we receive many referrals from other dentists who want us to treat their patients. With two accredited dentists in-house, we offer incomparable dental care delivered with compassion and attention to detail.
We believe investing in the ongoing training of our practitioners is in the best interests of our patients and our practice (you can learn more about our team here). By honing our techniques and staying at the forefront of the industry, our team resolves dental issues like no other practice in the country.
Other UK dentists confidently refer patients to our highly-trained cosmetic dentists because of our techniques, specialised training, and beautiful custom results.
