About Greenwood Dental Practice
Welcome to our family-friendly dental practice providing down-to-earth, patient centred care from a convenient setting at the heart of Altrincham town centre.
History
Greenwood Dental Practice was established by Dr Sarah Hodgson in 2000. Based on Greenwood Street in the centre of Altrincham, we have been providing NHS dental care for children and private dental care to adults for more than 20 years.
We offer a range of routine, preventative, cosmetic and advanced dental care, working with patients on preventative action to reduce the need for treatment.
How we work
We practise a patient centred approach to dental treatment. Good oral health and hygiene happens when dentist and patient work together as one team. We’ll always take time to discuss your needs, explain treatment options and costs, and listen to understand your concerns.
We’re proud of our down-to-earth, warm, family-friendly atmosphere. Several generations of local families have entrusted us with their dental care, with many recommending us to their friends and relatives.

Our Mission
To provide the highest quality family dental care in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. Your dental health is our priority.
