Former naval dentist Ben Pearson has relocated from Waterbeer Street to a brand new million-pound practice in Queen Street, opposite Exeter Central Station.
Dr Pearson, who has a special interest in periodontology – the study of gums – and his wife Becks, who is originally from South Devon, have owned the surgery in the Guildhall Square for the past 14 years.
Initially operating as the Guildhall Dental Practice and more recently Ben Pearson Dentistry, Dr Pearson and his team have established a loyal clientele, taking referrals from all over the South West.
The new practice is called Life Dental & Wellbeing.
Dr Pearson said the world of dentistry is changing and he wants to encourage people in Exeter to change their approach to oral health.
"For me it is all about helping my patients live a longer, healthier life with their own teeth," he said.
Recent research has shown that most people are happy with the appearance of their teeth and what they really want is to have a healthy mouth.
As well as addressing gum disease, the practice will continue to undertake all aspects of general dentistry and there will also be access to a dietician and health coach.
The practice will also be offering free dental health checks to patients.
