About St. Raphael's Dental Practice
St. Raphael’s Dental Practice provides family-focused dentistry in Skelmersdale/Up Holland, near Wigan, with an experienced and friendly team covering all aspects of dental care. Patients can access routine treatments including fillings, crowns and root canal work, alongside cosmetic options such as teeth whitening, composite bonding and short-term orthodontics delivered in practice by highly skilled clinicians. The practice also highlights cosmetic and restorative care including veneers, with composite bonding described as helping perfect the shape, size and colour of teeth for a natural-looking result. Short-term orthodontics include 6 Month Smiles clear/white braces, while root canal treatment is offered where a tooth is seriously damaged or painful.

Teeth whitening is available for professional results “up to 6 shades” from the comfort of home, and the practice is currently accepting new private and Denplan payments. For more specialised orthodontics, the practice directs patients to sister orthodontic services, Bright Orthodontics, across the North West, available by Dr Raphy and Dr Puthri. It also mentions 0% finance over 6, 9 or 12 months, with an online application offering an instant decision.
