Coronavirus & Flu Updates 2025–2026
Thank you for your continued patience with our infection-prevention and health-preservation systems. There are still occasional outbreaks of Covid, flu and norovirus etc. In 2025 there are some new strains of bird flu that are one mutation away from another Covid-type pandemic as people mix and travel more – and frankly, most don't clean their hands as well as they used to either!
Top prevention tip: please wash your hands often (a common spread of disease is contact with people and handles), especially after shopping but before eating snacks or fast foods, pizza etc.
Specialist Dentistry, Implants & Complex Smile Care – Haworth, Keighley, Bradford & West Yorkshire
The SmileSpecialist® Centre is a long-established private dental practice in Haworth, near Keighley and Bradford, providing Specialist-led dentistry for patients who want predictable, high-quality outcomes — especially where dentistry is complex, has failed before, or requires advanced planning.
Who leads the SmileSpecialist Centre?
Dr. Kilcoyne is a UK-registered Specialist in Prosthodontics (GDC No. 58373) — the recognised specialist dental field covering dental implants, complete dentures, crowns, bridges, veneers & bite reconstruction care. There is no higher qualification for such dental crowns, bridges, dentures and implant-based care in the UK.
When do patients come to see us?
We routinely help patients who:
- Have loose, uncomfortable teeth or failing dentistry
- Need dental implants or implant-supported teeth
- Struggle with dentures that do not stay in place
- Have worn, broken or collapsing bites and cannot chew
- Have been advised their case is difficult, “complex” or needs a specialist opinion
- People want high-end Dentistry options even for general dentistry work like extractions, braces or gum treatments.
- Dr.Kilcoyne has a separate special interest in braces and fastbraces treatments.
Specialist dental care with or without implants
Treatment at the SmileSpecialist Centre may involve dental implants, but many complex problems can also be solved using our carefully planned & advanced precision dentures, crowns, bridges or bite correction techniques — depending on your situation, health, expectations and budget.
Patients know who they are seeing Dr.Kilcoyne GDC No.58373 genuine Dentist & Specialist too. They also know from this very detailed and informative dental website authoritatively, they are in safe hands.
Our role is to explain the most predictable options face to face clearly, including alternatives, timescales and long-term implications, so you can make an informed decision with confidence.
Patients travel to us from across Yorkshire and further for our great dental care and expertise.
Although based in Haworth, we regularly see patients from Bradford, Keighley, Leeds, Halifax, Skipton and further afield, either by referral from their own dentist or by self-referral also.
FastBraces®
Dr Tony Kilcoyne has brought the exciting new technology of FastBraces® from the USA into his practice. It can offer children and adults typical treatment times anywhere between 3–12 months to straighten teeth without extractions in most cases. This system doesn't just tip teeth – it bodily moves the tooth roots in 3D from day 1 and is full proper orthodontics.
Dr Kilcoyne's FastBraces®, using unique new patented technology, delivers high comfort with low forces and is very highly rated by patients. Dr Kilcoyne has a special interest in FastBraces® and traditional orthodontic braces too.
See our Dr Kilcoyne's FastBraces® page for more information.
Dentistry at the London 2012 Olympic Games
Did you enjoy watching the Olympics in Paris in 2024, Tokyo 2021 (delayed due to Covid), Rio 2016 and of course London 2012? Many congratulations to Team GB – amazing effort from all those partaking, whether they won medals or not! Now we can look forward to the next Summer Olympics in the USA 2028 then Brisbane Australia in 2032 :)
We take a keen interest because our own Dentist & Specialist* Dr Tony Kilcoyne was selected from thousands of dental professionals to look after the world's top athletes for the London 2012 games, based right in the centre of the Olympic Village before and during the event.
Why not be treated personally by someone who was selected & trusted with the dental care of the world's best athletes, worth £££ billions?
Interestingly, in each day of the Olympics the Olympic Village daily magazine chose their Games-Maker of the day. On Friday 3rd August 2012 they chose:
Here at our Smile Specialist Centre in Haworth, Keighley, near Bradford and Leeds, the kind of bespoke precision dental work we do is just like delicate keyhole surgery, where our decades of experience and high expertise really matter and can really count.
Let Dr Kilcoyne, the expert smile dentist, get it right for you first time in the complex area of high-tech, high-skill dentistry, whilst putting you at ease with a great, supportive and friendly team. Laughter and relaxation is the norm here :)
Your First Visit & Specialist Opinion
Every new patient will get a full mouth examination and outline treatment plan with different prices and options, often on the first visit – it is thus very important you book the right kind of examination for your needs, be it general dentistry, specific cosmetic issues or implant & complex case consultations with us.
After the right examination with us, you will then have the information you need to make an informed choice that best meets your needs, wishes and budget too – it is so important to get the right oral health & smile plan to follow; the initial opinion and treatment options can make all the difference longer-term.
Please understand that one cannot do a complex examination for implants and detailed discussion taking around 1 hour to do it right, in only a general short slot or via a “free” chat. If you want free information then read the extensive pages on this website – far more detailed and extensive information than you'd normally get from an inadequate short free chat. Our website gets great reader/visitor feedback!
We book out the proper time and charge fairly to access decades of valuable Specialist expertise, so please don't try to skimp on this vital first stage; it isn't just a very rushed 5-minute check-up, but a very detailed examination and consultation that can help prevent future problems and provide excellent longer-term solutions and choices for your dental health and attractive smile.
You are worth it and we hope you feel our Dentist + Specialist expertise and long track record is worth it too.
Dr Kilcoyne once had a patient who had been to many other dentists, but nobody could find the source of their tooth and muscle pain – lots of X-rays done but to no avail. It took Dr Kilcoyne 50 minutes of listening and examining closely to find one bad contact that he adjusted – literally 2 minutes to adjust – and now the patient could sleep at night, with minimal intervention. When the patient asked why nobody else spotted this, the answer was that it wasn't easy and others rightly checked for the usual suspects, but Dr Kilcoyne's additional training, qualifications and decades of experience helped to give this patient exactly what they wanted and needed.
How does one put a price on that – was it really “just 2 minutes’ work” or something far more
rare and valuable?
Of course, one doesn't know what one doesn't know – qualifications and high experience do count!

Care Quality Commission report on the Smile Specialist Centre
This is what the latest external CQC independent inspection said about our passing all their quality standards in 2016 with their new system of inspections – in summary we passed all their detailed inspection criteria and the independent CQC inspectors also noted:
“The practice had good facilities and was well equipped to treat patients and meet their needs.” and
“Patients were positive about the care they received at the practice. Feedback commented how friendly, caring and attentive staff were at the practice.”
We have always placed a high importance on spending the time to care and improve dental health and smiles, as evidenced in our previous 2012 CQC positive report too:
Clearly, we place a high value on our patient care and clinical expertise, including at a Specialist level too. Please see below for just one example of a recent unsolicited thank-you card sent by a patient, treated by our caring team:

Want to know more about Tooth Whitening benefits?
It is very important to go to properly qualified dental professionals for teeth whitening who can examine your mouth before and after treatment, after taking a full medical history. Beware amateur salons offering tooth whitening services – the dangers aren't just permanently damaging your teeth and gums, but also spreading diseases between patients and into the community. Salon amateurs don't have to follow dentists’ high standards in training, disease prevention or sterilisation, which is why they seem cheaper – as well as being illegal now, for public safety reasons!

Want to know the truth about NHS dentistry problems & limitations according to C4 Dispatches and wider media?
Dentists tend to get 100% of the blame for a poorly planned and poorly resourced dental system. Dr Tony Kilcoyne took part in an investigative programme to help expose “The Big Lie” that NHS dentistry can provide for all the clinical health needs of the population in England under current limitations. Dr Kilcoyne says boldly the NHS dental system simply is not fit for purpose – dental prevention is itself prevented and rotten teeth were the third most common medical reason for any young child to be in a hospital bed overnight. He was concerned things would only get worse if proper action wasn't taken.
Well now it looks like Dr Kilcoyne's previous concerns and those of thousands of his colleagues, were valid and still ignored centrally, as since 2018 in England, it's still the No.1 medical reason that any primary school child is hospitalised – for rotten teeth in 2025. Isn't it time HMG started listening to prevention and wisdom, instead of staying stuck in denial-mode?

Want to know more about cosmetic dentistry?
There are many options to cosmetically improve your smile. Dr Kilcoyne, the smile dentist, can offer all of these and finds that after his detailed examination and discussion with patients, several options are usually combined to get the desired overall result at a reasonable price in an acceptable timescale. It is important to have an expert plan and to do the right things in the right order. For great long-term results, the quality really does count. Many of our patients come from the Leeds–Manchester M62 areas for our expertise.

Worried about cheap dentistry abroad dangers?
We all like to save money, but buying irreversible surgical services as if they're disposable DVDs may damage your health beyond repair and cost a lot more again – or may not be fixable again at any price. It could result in the wrong shortcuts, permanently.
It's always better to save and get it done right the first time, or prevent it going wrong or worsening of course.
Concerned?
Then see the
Possible serious dangers of dentistry abroad
information page.
Our UK dental practice is 100% independent & private, which simply means we have a direct relationship with you, being neither managed nor limited by any third-party restrictions or rationing.

For example, you will get to choose from many different options (such as over 25 different kinds of crowns) for cosmetic smile improvements, differing implant options, bridges, private dentures, tooth whitening etc., as well as getting the extra time and expertise you need if your problems are more complex than average. We take the time to care and provide excellent dentistry options and choices.
