Our story: over a century of dental care in Stoke-on-Trent

Our story: over a century of dental care in Stoke-on-Trent preview image

Stoke Dental carries a rich legacy, having proudly served our cherished local community for over 110 years. Our journey began modestly in 1915, when Mr. Arnold Wain (1894-1976) founded 'The Dental Surgery' at 3 Campbell Road – one of the very first dental practices in the area. From those early days as a single-surgery clinic, our core ethos was simple: to provide trusted, compassionate care that truly felt like family.

Growth under Dr. Mirza's visionary leadership

A significant chapter unfolded in 2005. Following Dr. Savage's retirement, Dr. Mirza took the helm as our new principal dentist. Her visionary leadership marked a period of exciting expansion. The practice grew from two surgeries to three, and she significantly broadened the spectrum of treatments available to our patients, embracing both NHS and private care. Dr. Mirza's unwavering patient-focused approach and deep commitment to excellence were instrumental in building the robust foundation for the thriving, modern practice you see today.

A new era with Dr. Kin Parekh at the forefront

In 2018, Dr. Kin Parekh gracefully stepped into the role of principal dentist, honouring the practice's long-standing tradition of quality care while infusing a vibrant, fresh vision for its future. We are delighted that Dr. Mirza remains an integral part of our team as an Associate Dentist, continuing to provide dedicated NHS and private care to her loyal patient base. Dr. Kin herself is an exceptionally experienced clinician, holding qualifications from both India and the UK, with over a decade of practice spanning Scotland and England. Her passion lies in seamlessly blending clinical excellence with a genuinely gentle, patient-centered approach. As an accomplished Invisalign Comprehensive provider, she has a profound passion for helping every patient achieve their dream smile. To bolster her advanced cosmetic and restorative work, she pursued and completed a prestigious MSc in Restorative Dentistry from the University of Birmingham.

Investing in advanced care for your smile

Under Dr. Kin's dynamic leadership, our practice has continued its impressive growth. We now operate four modern surgeries, each thoughtfully equipped with cutting-edge dental technology designed to enhance your experience. This includes advanced tools such as:

  • iTero digital scanners for incredibly accurate Invisalign planning and precise restorative work.
  • CBCT scanning, offering advanced imaging for in-depth diagnostics.
  • Intraoral cameras, helping you see what we see, allowing for a clearer understanding of your oral health.

These strategic investments enable us to consistently deliver an exceptional standard of care; making your visits efficient, remarkably comfortable, and ensuring outstanding clinical outcomes that you can rely on.

Our evolution

Our recent rebranding from Campbell Dental Practice to Stoke Dental reflects our evolving identity and our deep, continued commitment to proudly serving the community of Stoke-on-Trent. While our name has changed, we want to assure you that our core values and unwavering dedication remain absolutely the same! We take immense pride in our long-standing, highly skilled team of dentists, hygienists, nurses, and support staff, all of whom are passionate about providing the highest quality care within a truly warm and welcoming environment. We honour our rich history while enthusiastically embracing the future; continuing our legacy of helping generations of families smile with confidence!
