Company Overview
About Us
Gatley Park Dental Practice is a well-established, highly regarded mixed NHS and private practice based in Gatley, South Manchester. We are proud to offer an exceptional standard of care to our loyal patient base, and our reputation is built on warm, personalised dentistry delivered by a team that genuinely cares.
Our principal dentist brings 10 years of specialist experience in Invisalign and clear aligner treatment, holding a Postgraduate Diploma in Clear Aligners and achieving Platinum Elite Invisalign Provider status — the highest level of recognition awarded by Invisalign.
Our team also includes Dr Anupam Nandi, an experienced implant and restorative dentist who is part of the faculty at ICE Hospital — one of the UK’s leading dental implant training centres. This means our associate will have access to exceptional mentorship across implants and advanced restorative dentistry, a truly rare opportunity in a practice setting.
