Our practice
A Georgian townhouse, rebuilt around the patient
Riverside began in 2014 when Dr Eleanor Whitcombe took on a tired basement surgery on Argyle Street and spent a year turning it into somewhere she would happily send her own family. Natural light, no clinical smell at the door and appointments long enough to actually talk.
- Three surgeries, digital scanning and same day emergency slots held daily
- A hygiene team you can see without waiting months for an appointment
- Written treatment plans with fixed costs, and finance if you want to spread them

Kind words from people across Bath
“I put off straightening my teeth for fifteen years because I was embarrassed about being told off for leaving it so long. Eleanor never once made me feel like that. Eleven months later I have the smile I should have had at twenty, and I still cannot stop looking at the before photographs.”
“I cracked a molar on a Sunday evening and rang the emergency line fully expecting a recorded message. A real dentist answered, saw me at eight the next morning and had me out of pain before work. The follow up call the next day was a lovely touch.”
“My gums had been bleeding for years and I had given up assuming that was just how it was. Rosie explained what was actually happening, gave me a plan and the bleeding stopped within two months. The airflow treatment is genuinely the most pleasant thing I have had done at a dentist.”
