Eastside Dental began as a small single surgery on Ysgol Street in Port Tennant in 1992, set up by Dr Paul Ridgewell. It was a modest space, but it was filled with determination and a belief that good dentistry can change how people feel about themselves. Five years later, the Practice moved to Port Tennant Road, carrying with it the same commitment to care and the growing trust of the community. In 2013, we moved again, this time to the Beacon Centre for Health on the SA1 Waterfront, where we found a home that allowed us to welcome even more patients with comfort and dignity. Dr Paul Ridgewell, after 50 years in the industry, retired in 2025. 
What started as one treatment room has grown into nine. Each room represents a story of teamwork, compassion and the steady belief that people deserve dentistry delivered with integrity. Our growth has never been about size. It has been about doing things properly, following recognised Best Practice guidelines and treating every patient with the respect they deserve.

We are proud to be the official care provider to the Ospreys and Swansea City Football Club. Caring for professional athletes reminds us daily that trust is earned through consistency, skill and kindness.
