Third generation in a family of medical and dental practitioners, founder and Principal Dentist Dr Andrew Paterson BDS MSc (Endodontics) LLB, opened the practice with one goal: to provide truly remarkable, personal dental care to the community – a step above what’s often found in larger dental chains.
A Different Kind of Dental Care
At The Observatory, we believe great dental care is about more than just a beautiful smile – it’s about protecting your long-term health, confidence, and peace of mind.
As a busy professional, an active retiree, or somewhere in between, our objective is to ensure your dental health supports the life you want to live – with comfort and confidence.
For new and existing patients alike, we provide gentle, personalised care that blends years of dentistry skill and experience with a holistic mindset. Each treatment is tailored to your individual needs to achieve great results for your health and your smile.
Whether you’re coming in for a check-up, hygienist visit, filling, whitening, dentures, implants, or a full smile makeover, you’ll always receive a warm welcome and the highest standards of dental care every step of the way.
But we also know life doesn’t stop for dental appointments. We offer evening appointments during the week, making it easy to fit dental care into your busy schedule – fuss-free and flexible.
Our Commitment to Excellence
As an independent practice, we value the individuality of all our patients. That’s why we take the time to listen to what matters to you and understand your concerns.
The Observatory Dental Practice brings together some of the most skilled dental professionals in Cornwall and the South West. We’re proud to be known for professional dentistry and personal patient care that’s trusted by our community and beyond.
Many of our new patients come to us through personal recommendations or after reading our numerous five-star reviews and testimonials.
Invest in Yourself
Investing in your dental health today means more confidence, more energy, and more reasons to smile tomorrow.
Our philosophy is to focus on preventative care, addressing the underlying causes of dental problems to help you enjoy lasting oral health and confidence, rather than short-term fixes.
With a personalised treatment plan tailored to your needs, you’ll enjoy a healthy, confident smile – helping you look and feel great every day, for years to come.
Our Peace of Mind Care Plan can help you manage both your budget and your treatment schedule with ease.
At The Observatory, you’ll discover what it means to have a dental team that puts your health first.
It’s time to live life smiling!
