Welcome to Chapel Street Dental

Dentistry is Personal. It should feel that way. If you’re looking for a team who knows what they’re doing, but still knows how to listen - you’re in the right place.

Our reputation has been built around our core values; care, trust, and respect, and our team delivers dentistry as we’d want it for ourselves - calm, reassuring, and focused on your oral health and wellbeing. Proudly part of the community, we invite everyone to share in our vision for better dental care. 

Starting treatment can sometimes feel like a big decision, which is why our treatment coordinators are here to guide you from the very beginning. They will take the time to explain what to expect, answer your questions, and offer the reassurance you need to feel confident about your care.

Come and meet us, see how we work, and decide if this is the right practice for you.

Guidance, Reassurance, and Care from Day One

Our dental fees are structured to provide the best value for your oral health. With fixed prices for examination and hygienist appointments, we ensure transparency and affordability.

For general dentistry, we don’t follow the traditional "fee per item" charging system, which can lead to increased costs for patients. Instead, we charge for appointment time. This means your dentist can deliver several items of care at your appointment - all patients are given a full fee estimate prior to proceeding with any ongoing treatment.

Providing Unique Value - Find Out How We Are Different

We know that rising living costs and limited NHS availability can make accessing dental care difficult. That’s why we offer a choice of affordable membership plans to help spread the cost of your regular care.

Affordable Membership Plans

At Chapel Street Dental in Wem, you’ll find the reassurance of a well-established private family practice, backed by an experienced team trained in advanced treatments. We provide all the care you’d expect from your local dentist - routine check-ups, hygiene, and everyday treatments - plus the skills and technology to handle more complex needs in-house. This means you can stay with a team you know and trust, whatever your dental needs may be.
