Rated 4.9 out of 5 on Google, from 258+ Reading patients
If you're wondering about using Park Lane, stop here and make the call, you won't be disappointed. The treatment and experience my teenage son has received over the last 2 years has been absolutely superb from beginning to end...
I needed to change orthodontist and Park Lake Orthodontics took me on at short notice which was hugely appreciated. They're such a friendly team who have made me feel super welcome each time I've been in, which always puts me at ease. They clearly know what they're doing as much teeth look amazing and I'm really grateful!
Can't fault them. Customer service was perfect on every visit and I'm so pleased with the end result!
What a straight smile actually changes
Nobody comes to us because they want braces. They come because of what happens afterwards.
You stop editing your photos
The tilted head. The closed-lip smile. The one angle you know works. Most people do not realise how much energy that takes until they stop doing it.
You stop covering your mouth when you laugh
It is a small, automatic gesture, and almost everyone who does it says the same thing afterwards - they had no idea they were doing it at all.
Your teeth get easier to look after
Crowded and overlapping teeth trap what a toothbrush cannot reach. Straighter teeth are simply easier to keep clean, which matters far more at sixty than it does at sixteen.
Your bite works properly
Straightening teeth is not only cosmetic. A bite that meets correctly puts less strain on your teeth and jaw, and wears down more evenly over a lifetime.
For your children, it is a head start
Catching a problem at seven is a very different job to fixing it at seventeen. Parents tell us the confidence shift in a teenager is the part they were not expecting.
Real results from our patients
Every smile is different. Here are just a few of the transformations our specialist team has created.
Every brace and aligner we offer in Reading
Invisalign clear aligners
Removable, virtually invisible aligners that straighten teeth gradually. We are a Diamond Apex provider, which puts us in the top 1% in Europe.
Fixed metal braces
The most versatile option we offer, and still the most effective for complex cases. Modern brackets are considerably smaller than the ones you may remember.
Ceramic and gold braces
Fixed braces in tooth-coloured ceramic or gold, for anyone who wants the reliability of a fixed brace without it being the first thing people notice.
Lingual braces
Fixed braces bonded to the back of your teeth rather than the front. Completely hidden from view, and fully customised to your mouth.
Children's and teen orthodontics
Early assessment from age seven, Invisalign First for younger children, and functional braces to guide jaw growth while it is still happening.
Who will actually be planning your smile?
Your treatment is planned by a GDC-registered specialist orthodontist - a dentist who has completed years of further training in nothing but the movement of teeth, and who is listed on the General Dental Council's specialist register.
We are also a Diamond Apex Invisalign provider, which places us in the top 1% of providers in Europe, and our clinical director is a Tatler-recommended dentist.
Nervous? You are in very good company
Plenty of people put this off for years. Sometimes it is the chair itself. Sometimes it is embarrassment about the state of their teeth. Often it is simply not knowing what it is going to cost.
Our practice is small and it is quiet - no queue building behind you, no rush, and nobody making you feel bad about how long you have left it. Tell us when you book that you are anxious and we will give you a longer, calmer appointment.
Nothing is decided on the day. You can come in, find out where you stand, and go away and think about it for as long as you like.
Your £150 consultation, and exactly what that buys you
A full new patient consultation is £150. That covers the whole 90 minutes: your measurements, your 3D scan, any x-rays you need, time with one of our orthodontists, and a written treatment plan with costs before you leave.
There is no obligation to book treatment on the day, and nobody will push you to.
