Dr Tristan Tinn

I'm a private dentist working at Crossbank Dental Care in Kendal, on the southern edge of the Lake District. Day to day that means cosmetic dentistry like bonding, veneers, whitening, and Invisalign, alongside restorative work, root canals, and the wider plan when teeth need rebuilding.

My approach is biomimetic and adhesive. The aim is to preserve as much of your natural tooth as possible while delivering something that looks and behaves like a real tooth. That tends to mean composite and adhesive porcelain before crowns, and provisional shapes before anything permanent so we can both see where the case is heading. More on how that runs day-to-day on the private dentistry page.

I also founded HelpDental, a UK platform helping patients find and book appointments. Outside the clinic, the Lakes is home, so the practice was always going to land somewhere I could walk Coniston in the evening.
