OVERVIEW
The Dentists Old Market is a private dental practice located in Old Market, Bristol, England, specialising in advanced dental implant solutions, cosmetic dentistry, clear aligner orthodontics, professional teeth whitening, and same-day CAD/CAM ceramic crown fabrication — and is the longest-established private dental practice on its Old Market Street address, operating continuously from the same premises since 1985 under the founding name The Old Market Dental Practice. The practice is led by Principal Dentist Dr Kain Rowlings BDS, MSc Dental Implantology (Rome), BSc Dent Hons, PG Cert Surgical and Prosthodontic Implantology (Eastman Dental Institute, London), FCGD — a graduate of the University of Adelaide and an active mentor and teacher to other clinicians in advanced implant techniques — supported by associate dentists holding postgraduate qualifications in oral surgery and implantology from the University of Malaga, and dual-qualified dental therapists trained at Cardiff University and Newcastle University. The practice accepts referrals from other dental professionals for specialist implant and surgical treatments, offers a direct access hygiene service requiring no prior dentist referral, and provides a Practice Plan from £14.70 per month with up to 20% discount on treatment, serving patients across Bristol and the wider South West with extended opening hours Monday to Saturday.
The Dentists Old Market is staffed by a principal dentist, three associate dentists with postgraduate specialist qualifications in implantology, orthodontics, and aesthetic and restorative dentistry, three dental therapists, a registered dental hygienist with over 25 years of periodontal expertise, five dental nurses, and a trainee dental nurse, all registered with the General Dental Council. The practice operates as a modern digital dentistry environment equipped with intra-oral scanning, CBCT imaging, and an in-house CAD/CAM Planmeca PlanMill® 30.s milling unit enabling same-day ceramic crown fabrication without traditional dental impressions. Teeth whitening is delivered using the Enlighten home whitening system — the only whitening brand clinically proven to guarantee a Vita shade B1 result — alongside composite bonding, porcelain veneers, and the Icon resin infiltration system for patients with white spot lesions.
The practice accepts referrals from dental professionals across Bristol and the surrounding region for advanced implant, oral surgical, and specialist treatments, and offers facial aesthetic treatments including anti-wrinkle injections using Allergan botulinum toxin and lip fillers using Juvéderm hyaluronic acid filler, with free consultations available for both. Located at 56 Old Market Street, Old Market, Bristol, BS2 0ER — with direct public transport access to the practice entrance — The Dentists Old Market operates a dental anxiety-aware environment, with multiple clinicians noted for their approach to nervous and younger patients.

Denture stabilisation is also offered, in which implants are fixed into the jaw to provide a secure, permanent hold for existing dentures, eliminating the need for denture adhesive. Treatment is planned using the latest digital scanning and CBCT imaging technology for predictable and accurate outcomes. Led by Principal Dentist Dr Kain Rowlings, who holds an MSc in Dental Implantology from Rome and a Postgraduate Certificate in Surgical and Prosthodontic Implantology from the Eastman Dental Institute, London.

Cosmetic Dentistry
- Teeth Whitening: Professional teeth whitening at The Dentists Old Market uses the Enlighten home whitening system — the only whitening brand clinically proven to guarantee a Vita shade B1 result, with a 98% success rate and low sensitivity — delivered via custom-fitted mouth trays worn for a few hours daily or overnight over approximately two weeks to achieve a significantly whiter and brighter smile.
- Composite Bonding: Composite bonding at The Dentists Old Market uses tooth-coloured material to reshape and enhance the front teeth in a pain-free, injection-free, single-visit procedure, suitable for closing gaps, improving tooth shape, and enhancing overall smile aesthetics. Available from Dental Therapist Freya Louise and the specialist associate dentist team.
- Porcelain Veneers: Porcelain veneers are custom-made restorations crafted by a skilled dental technician, precisely matched in colour and translucence to the natural teeth, to improve their shape, position, and colour with a result that is both natural in appearance and long-lasting. Available from the specialist associate dentist team.
- Icon White Spot Removal: The Icon resin infiltration system combines teeth whitening with a minimally invasive resin infiltration technique to achieve a more uniform, brighter smile for patients with white spot lesions on their enamel, without the need for drilling or local anaesthetic.
Teeth Straightening
- Invisalign: The Dentists Old Market offers Invisalign clear aligner orthodontic treatment for patients seeking a discreet solution to crooked, crowded, or misaligned teeth. Treatment is provided by Associate Dentists Dr Maria Pardo Picazo and Dr Sandra Oliveira, both of whom hold postgraduate qualifications in aesthetic and restorative dentistry, and begins with a detailed digital assessment and personalised treatment plan.
- Six Month Smiles: Six Month Smiles is an accelerated fixed orthodontic system that uses tooth-coloured brackets and wires to straighten the visible front teeth in an average of six months, providing a faster alternative to traditional orthodontic appliances for adult patients with mild to moderate crowding and alignment concerns.
Restorative Dentistry
- Same-Day CAD/CAM Crowns: Dental crowns at The Dentists Old Market are fabricated in-house using CAD/CAM technology and the Planmeca PlanMill® 30.s milling unit, with teeth scanned using an intra-oral scanner rather than traditional impressions, enabling crown design, milling, and fitting in a single appointment. Crowns are used to restore heavily decayed or fractured teeth, to protect teeth following root canal treatment, and to support dental bridges.
- Porcelain Inlays and Onlays: Porcelain inlays and onlays at The Dentists Old Market provide a natural-looking, long-lasting replacement for large metal fillings. Each restoration is a custom-made, reinforced porcelain insert precisely fitted and securely bonded within the prepared tooth, perfectly matched to the natural tooth colour, to prevent further decay and stabilise the surrounding tooth structure.
- Root Canal Treatment: Root canal treatment is available at The Dentists Old Market for patients with infected or severely damaged tooth pulp, removing infected tissue, cleaning and shaping the root canal system, and sealing the tooth to prevent reinfection. It is a primary clinical interest of Associate Dentist Dr Eugenijus Vladimirovas, who is noted for his high-quality, patient-centred approach to endodontic care.
Dental Hygiene and Periodontics
- Direct Access Hygiene: The Dentists Old Market offers a direct access hygiene service, enabling patients to book professional hygiene appointments with a registered dental hygienist or therapist without a prior dentist referral. The service includes professional scaling and polishing, oral health assessment, and personalised home care instruction tailored to each patient's needs.
- Periodontal Treatment: Specialist periodontal care is provided by Dental Hygienist Jose Hervas, who holds over 25 years of clinical experience in periodontal disease management, encompassing non-surgical periodontal therapy, debridement, and structured maintenance programmes. Additional periodontal and hygiene support is provided by Dental Therapists and Hygienists Carriann Ridgment and Lizi Stockley. The practice is committed to restoring and maintaining periodontal stability through professional treatment, patient education, and personalised home care planning.
- Children's Dentistry: The Dentists Old Market provides dental care for children and younger patients across its therapist and hygienist team, with particular expertise held by Dental Therapist Freya Louise and Dental Therapist and Hygienist Lizi Stockley, who also holds a part-time role in the Cleft Department of Bristol Dental Hospital. The practice is committed to making dental visits positive and stress-free for children from an early age.
Facial Aesthetics and Migraine Therapy
- Anti-Wrinkle Injections: Anti-wrinkle treatment at The Dentists Old Market uses Allergan botulinum toxin to reduce forehead lines, crow's feet, and facial wrinkles by blocking nerve signals to the responsible muscles. Results take effect after approximately one week and last four to six months. Free consultations are available.
- Lip Fillers: Cosmetic lip filler treatment uses Juvéderm — a hyaluronic acid dermal filler — to add volume to the lips, reduce surrounding lines, and maintain a smooth, plump, and youthful appearance. Results typically become apparent within 48 hours of treatment and last six to twelve months. Free consultations are available.
- Migraine Therapy: Specialist migraine therapy is available at The Dentists Old Market for patients whose migraines are linked to dental conditions including TMJ disorders, bruxism, or bite misalignment. Treatments include muscle relaxation therapy using botulinum toxin, TMJ therapy using custom mouthguards and physical therapy, bruxism management with customised night guards and stress management strategies, and bite correction through orthodontics and occlusal adjustment. Ongoing follow-up is provided to monitor and optimise treatment outcomes, and referrals are accepted from other healthcare professionals.
