Experience the art of modern dentistry with a personal touch
At The Anchorage Dental Care and Implant Centre, we take pride in being the oldest dental practice in town, offering the most advanced and state-of-the-art technologies and treatment modalities. Established in the 1890s in Old Portsmouth, our practice has moved a few times in Southsea to its current address at Clarendon Road. With a rich history and tradition, we continue to uphold the reputation and excellence that our practice has always enjoyed.
Our Story
From its humble beginnings to the present day, our practice has been led by some remarkable individuals. One of our previous dentists was even by appointment to Queen Victoria during her stay at Osborne House, while another was a big game hunter in the 1920s. Through the Blake and Earl dynasty to the Evans and now to ourselves, we are proud to carry on the legacy of providing exceptional dental care to our patients. Today, our dental team runs a family practice in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere. We enjoy working in our modern and attractive surroundings, and we pride ourselves on maintaining the most advanced and up-to-date technologies in modern dentistry.
