‘More than meets the eye’ is a phrase we use when there seems to be more going on than would appear at first glance, or when something is more interesting, impressive or complicated than at first, we realise. It’s also our strapline at Hillsborough Dental because we feel it pretty much sums us up - a practice with hidden qualities and the ability to offer treatments beyond the average dental practice.

The tale of ‘thon gruesome tooth’ and the lengths we'll go to, to put patients at ease

The Hillsborough Dental Story

Posted on 30 March, 2019 by Hillsborough Dental

When setting up practice in 1998, I designed a logo which I felt perfectly summed up our business. It was the same sort of sign that hundreds of other dentists also thought would perfectly sum up their business, so there’s no prizes for guessing - it was indeed a tooth.

The Hillsborough Dental Story

Posted on 11 March, 2019 by Hillsborough Dental

It was October 1998. Google had just been established (can you even imagine life before Google now?); Bill Clinton was facing intense questioning over the Monica Lewinsky affair and Saving Private Ryan was the top movie.
