Dr Zara Collins
Cosmetic dentistry, done gently — and a particular soft spot for the patients everyone else has rushed.
Invisalign, composite bonding, whitening and full smile makeovers. Five years qualified, three of them in private practice, and the whole thing built around going at your pace rather than the diary's.
Cosmetic work that still looks like your teeth.
Not a set of veneers you can spot across a room. The aim is that people notice you look well, not that you have had something done.
Invisalign
Clear aligners for crowding, gaps and relapse after old braces. Invisalign Go certified, with a structured planning workflow behind every case.
Composite bonding
Tooth-coloured composite shaped directly onto the tooth to rebuild edges, close small gaps or even up a smile. No drilling of healthy enamel.
Teeth whitening
Professionally supervised whitening — the safe, predictable version, not a shop-bought kit.
Smile makeovers
Planned properly from the first consultation through to completion, often combining alignment, bonding and whitening in a sequence that makes sense.
If you have been putting this off, you are who I built this for.
Two years or twenty. Cancelled the last three appointments, or never booked them. Nobody here is going to make you feel bad about it — and nothing gets done to you on a first visit unless you ask.
A stop signal that works
Agreed before anything starts. When you use it, everything stops immediately — not at a convenient moment.
Longer, quieter appointments
Booked to go at your speed. Rushing is what made it frightening in the first place.
No lectures
Not about brushing, not about sugar, not about how long it has been. It achieves nothing clinically.
Costs in writing first
You get the price before anything is agreed. Money dread and dental dread feed each other.
Trained at Manchester. Still on courses most weekends.
Dentistry moves, and a 2021 qualification is a starting point rather than something to coast on.
Currently practising in Yorkshire.
I see patients as an associate at The Crescent Dental and Implant Centre, and one day a week at Mount Dental Practice. Appointments are booked through the practice — get in touch and I will point you to the right place.

Ask me something first.
You do not have to book, and you do not have to phone. Two lines about what you are after — or what worries you — is plenty.
