About Priory Dental Practice
Priory Dental Practice provides NHS and private dentistry for residents of Bedford and the surrounding areas. The practice offers a comprehensive range of general dentistry within the NHS, alongside more specialised cosmetic and “high end” options through private treatment. It is described as one of the longest-standing dental practices in Bedford, based at its present location since 1970, and aims to support patients in a relaxed and friendly environment. For NHS care, the practice lists treatments including fillings, crowns, root fillings, dentures, extractions and gum treatment. Private dentistry options include fillings, crowns and bridges, veneers, root canal treatment, dentures, gum disease treatment and hygiene, dental implants, teeth whitening and extractions, with the practice encouraging patients to use both systems where appropriate. The team includes Mehrdad Mokhtari, a Principal Dentist with qualifications from King’s College School of Medicine and Dentistry and additional training including the Certificate in Implant Dentistry at the Eastman Dental Institute, UCL, as well as Jaleh Haftbaradaron and Sharan Kaur, who each provide care for both NHS and private patients. The practice also highlights an emergency approach where patients can “just turn up” at 8.30am if they have an emergency.
