Your 'Best Patient Care' award winning practice

Oral Hygiene
Here at The Old Surgery we are strongly committed to the philosophy of preventative dentistry.

Our proactive approach will identify your risk of future dental problems e.g. gum disease and decay, and help prevent them before the need for dental treatment.

Each new patient undergoes a thorough Oral Health Assessment which consists of a comprehensive medical and social assessment and a detailed oral and radiographic examination. This allows us to measure your current level of oral health, identify those areas where you require treatment and establish all future monitoring needs.

We can then design your personal care plan enabling you to understand your role in achieving a high level of oral health. We aim to minimise the possible need for future invasive dental treatment. We will strive to keep you free of decay and gum disease, something which we are confident is achievable, and your dental health will be reviewed at regular six monthly intervals.

General Dentistry
At The Old Surgery we are just as meticulous about our general dental work as we are our specialty dentistry.


It is important to remember that the vast majority of the population simply require and deserve really good general dentistry.

We believe in doing the basics very well, with the focus on oral health and prevention, and of course, paying proper attention to detail and patients needs when treatment is required.

Regular check ups are vastly underrated appointment. Our friendly and expert porfessionals can highlight the smallest of issues that may not require immediate attention, but can advise you on how to prevent it getting worse, or even reverse it in the case of early detection of gunm disease.

David Cohen

PhD, MSc, BDS, MFGDP, LDSRCS, CUEW, MEWI

GDC Reg No: 45658

David is a Specialist Endodontist, and for over 25 years has been helping general dental practitioners solve their endodontic problems. In that time he has treated something over 20,000 teeth!

David qualified in 1971 with BDS from the Royal Dental Hospital of London and 1972 LDSRCS from the Royal College of Surgeons of England. Following qualification he worked in general practice in Manchester.

At a lecture by an endodontist in 1976, David became interested in Endodontics and in order to advance his knowledge in this field he undertook a number of postgraduate courses in the United States at Boston University School of Graduate Dentistry, under the leadership of Dr. Herbert Schilder.

In 1981 David commenced part-time postgraduate research in Endodontics, which led to him being awarded an MSc in 1984 on the strength of a thesis entitled “An Investigation into the relative merits of some Endodontic Filling Systems”.

In 1986 he was invited to undertake further research work, culminating in him being awarded a PhD by the University of Manchester in 1991 on the basis of his thesis entitled “Development and Evaluation of Endodontic Filling and Pulp Capping Materials”. This led to the development of new materials in both areas of root filling and pulp capping and worldwide patents for such materials.

In 1981 David opened a practice ‘Limited to Endodontics’ part-time, which has now grown into the full time practice. For a number of years he taught postgraduate Endodontics and undergraduate studies as a Lecturer at Manchester Dental Hospital and he currently holds the position of Honorary Research Associate at Manchester University. David was admitted to the endodontic specialist register as soon as the register was inaugurated in 1998. He has written widely on endodontic subjects and in 1994 he was a Visiting Fellow to the Singapore Ministry of Health. David has also lectured extensively in the U.K. and U.S.A.

David has served as the President of the British Endodontic Society and Chairman and/or executive member of a number of local dental and endodontic associations. He has also since 1979 been a member and regular attender at meetings of the American Association of Endodontists.

David has also been producing medico-legal reports for many years, and have to date produced over 500 reports for solicitors, both claimant and defendant. In 2005 he was awarded a Certificate of Expert Witness Accreditation by Cardiff University and in 2008 he was accepted as a member of the Expert Witness Institute.

Steve Lomas

BDS (Birmingham) Honorary
PG Dip Rest Dentistry from BARD
GDC 68108

Steve qualified from the University of Birmingham in 1992. He remained in the West Midlands for the next five years before moving to Crewe. Steve opened The Old Surgery Dental Practice in February 1998 and has developed it from a single handed practice to its current six surgeries.

Steve is highly committed to a preventive approach to dentistry, aiming to help his patients attain and retain excellent dental health. His special interest is the management of tooth wear, especially early diagnosis and intervention to prevent more severe problems occurring later in life.

This has led to Steve becoming one of only a handful of UK dentists to have completed the full Dawson Academy training pathway, allowing him to practise Complete Dentistry and fully understand the whole masticatory system, including being able to help with uncomfortable bites and clicking joints.

Being a Dawson dentist allows Steve to do what is necessary to achieve long term maintainable health and comfort, along with the creation of a beautiful natural smile, knowing that he is using the least amount of dentistry possible.

Steve is a Full Member of the British Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry. He is also a member of the British Academy of Restorative Dentistry, and facilitates a South Cheshire study group on behalf of the BARD, providing postgraduate education for other dentists.

He spent 2010 completing a Certificate in Aesthetic Dentistry with the prestigious Tipton Training academy, and was delighted to have been given the accolade of Dentist of the Year 2010 by the Academy. In 2012 Steve was awarded a Diploma in Restorative Dentistry.

Steve is also very keen on cosmetic orthodontic treatments, to help quickly and easily realign teeth to significantly improve smiles without the need for more destructive crown and veneer work – beautiful results can now be achieved just through a combination of realignment, whitening and sometimes bonding a little white filling to replace worn edges of teeth.

Steve was the first dentist in South Cheshire to provide the Inman Aligner.

Steve’s other dental activities have included being a Vocational Trainer to newly qualified dentists, President of the North Staffordshire Society of Dental Surgeons, leading Peer Review study groups for local dentists, and has been a member of the Local Dental Committee and an examiner for the National Examining Board for Dental Nurses.

Cosmetic Dentistry

I am Dr. Dentist, my team and I are dedicated to undertaining cosmetic dentistry for you when it's purely the best option for your dental health.

There is ahuge range of treatments and prcedures that fall under the description of cosmetic dentistry. Yes, of course, the typical 'Hollywood Smile' is how many first think of. Whilst we can certainly amke those wonderful transformations for you, we also ensure that you never have more than you need and receive the very best care throughout.

Below are a few of the procedures we carry out on a daily basis. Hollywood, or not.

Dark discoloured teeth?

Tooth whitening is a simple procedure completed at home or in-surgery with excellent long term results which do not harm your teeth.

Discoloured Fillings

Fillings in back teeth can be made practically invisible with cosmetic fillings. Old metal fillings in back teeth can be replaced with white fillings or ceramic inlays.

Missing Teeth or Gaps

If you have missing teeth or unsightly gaps in your teeth these can be filled with cosmetic dentures, bridges or dental implants with natural looking results.

Misshapen Teeth

Can be straightened and whitened with cosmetic veneers, metal-free cosmetic crowns or invisible braces.

Old Discoloured Crowns

If you are concerned by the discolouration of your dental crowns then we can replace these with the latest metal-free eMax or Lava crowns.

False Looking Dentures

Old dentures that fit badly or look false can often be replaced with natural feeling, cosmetic dentures or possibly replaced completely with fixed bridgework.

We replace old or loose dentures with a bridge or metal based denture that is stronger, tighter, more comfortable. For the ultimate in stability we can provide implant retained dentures or bridgework.
