I called Friday evening to see if they had emergency appointments due to serious tooth pain. They were very polite and willing to accommodate. Due to me being a 45-minute drive away — the closest dentist I could find on Google that was open — they assured me they would see me when I got there. Upon arrival the staff were so polite and welcoming. The expertise and advice before the procedure was amazing. Definitely worth the trip to get the pain away. 100% recommend them.

S35 has dentists on the doorstep. Why families still come over the hill
Chapeltown and Ecclesfield are better supplied than most of north Sheffield: an independent practice on Loundside, two group-owned practices with NHS contracts, and a £39 new patient examination advertised in Ecclesfield. What the S35 practices share is hours. The independent one opens 8.30 to 5 on weekdays and closes at 4.30 on a Friday; none open at the weekend, and none publish a fee for a filling. For a parent with two children at Ecclesfield or Chapeltown primaries, a check-up means a school pick-up problem or an afternoon off.
Deepcar Dental Care is 15 minutes west, through Grenoside and Oughtibridge. We are private, open 8am to 8pm every day, and the first examination is £85 for adults and £39 for children, X-rays included where needed. Every fee is on the fee guide. The dentist who sees your child is the same one who sees them next year: Dr Ibraheem Ijaz, Nik or Dr George. Laura, the senior nurse, has been calming five-year-olds in the same room for 28 years.
Your child's first appointment at Deepcar, step by step
Before you come. Book a time when your child is not tired or hungry; 4pm on a school day is the worst slot in dentistry, and a Saturday at 10am is the best. Do not promise 'it won't hurt', which plants the idea. Say the dentist is going to count their teeth.
Arriving. Children under about four are often seen sitting on a parent's lap in the chair, facing the parent, head tipped back onto the dentist's knee. Older children ride the chair up and down themselves first. Nothing goes in the mouth until they have had a go with the mirror.
The count. The dentist counts the teeth out loud, checks each one for early decay, and looks at how the adult teeth are coming through. A child has 20 baby teeth; the first adult molars arrive at about six, behind the baby teeth without replacing any, and are the most commonly filled teeth in the mouth because parents do not know they are there. We show you where they are.
X-rays, only where needed. Small bitewings are taken when the back teeth are touching and the child can hold the film, typically from about five or six. They show decay between teeth that no torch can find. If a child cannot manage it, we do not force it and look again next time.
Fluoride varnish. A sticky, fruit-flavoured coating painted on in 30 seconds, twice a year from age three. It is the single most effective thing a dentist does for a child's teeth, and it is included in the visit.
The chat with you. Toothpaste amount (a smear under three, a pea after), who does the brushing (an adult until about seven), and the number of sugar hits a day rather than the amount of sugar. Then a recall interval, at most 12 months for a child, written on the plan.
If something needs doing. Nothing is treated on the first visit. Small fillings on baby teeth are done at a second, short appointment with the same dentist, and if a child needs more than we can do gently, we say so rather than push. Your own examination is the same £85 and can be booked back to back. The general dentistry page explains the adult version.

Questions, answered
General & family dentistry: questions from Chapeltown & Ecclesfield patients
There is an £85 exam in Ecclesfield. What is different about yours?
Ours includes X-rays where needed and fluoride varnish for children, is 30 to 40 minutes with a named dentist who stays your dentist, and can be booked on a Sunday. If the local offer covers the same, use it.
At what age should my child first see a dentist?
By their first birthday, or when the first tooth appears. Early visits are about getting used to the room; the first real examination is usually around two to three.
Can I book after school from Chapeltown?
Yes. We have slots to 8pm every weekday and all weekend, so a 5.30pm or Saturday appointment avoids missing school or work.
Do you take NHS children?
No. We are private, and children's care is £39 for the first visit. S35 has NHS practices, and if your child has an NHS place that works, keep it and use us for what it does not cover.
What if my child is frightened?
We go at their pace: a look, a count, a sticker, and home. Dr George in particular is good with anxious children, and no treatment happens until they are ready.
Can the whole family be seen in one go?
Yes. Book adults and children back to back and we will keep everyone in the same room where that helps. Hygiene visits can be added for the adults on the hygiene page.
In their own words
What patients say.
Dr Ibrahim helped me today with a difficult extraction. He is my hero for the dedication, skill and professionalism shown today. It was a tough one but wow. I was in so much pain and he saved me from it. I am eternally grateful to him. Just brilliant.
Visited today for a private emergency appointment. The practice was very clean and tidy, the staff very friendly and helpful. They really listened to my concerns and put me at ease. Addressed the problem and extracted my tooth — nothing was too much trouble. Swift service — top notch.
