About

Family Dental Practice provides dental care in Brighton, East Sussex, with services that include exams and cleanings, fillings, crowns and bridges, dental hygiene, full or partial dentures, and root canal therapy. The practice also offers periodontal treatment at specialist level, with a focus on helping patients with a wide range of needs in one place. New patients are welcomed, with the team aiming to make first visits feel more comfortable and organised. The website notes that the practice provides a full and efficient assessment while avoiding waiting to see the clinician, helping patients understand what care may be needed. The practice is privately owned by Dr Ryan Farman and Dr Sarah Aliakbar, with limited NHS funding for a small percentage of patients. As a result, it currently has no further capacity for NHS patients, but it can offer services on a private basis. Dental implant procedures are also available, led by Dr Jag Dhanda, Consultant Oral Surgeon, with free consultations mentioned on the website.
