  • Super happy with my experience. They work on Saturdays and have a good online booking system that makes it really easy to keep up with dentist appointments. I didn’t feel like I was pressurised to start any treatments and felt the examination was thorough!

    I had a large chip in my front tooth and was absolutely terrified at the thought of coming to the dentist. School and poor dentists had dominated my experience of dental care and I didn’t know what to do. Mola Dental came via a recommendation and, my goodness, they have been amazing. After a root canal, a filling and a crown I can honestly say that I have been 100% ok! Treatment was totally pain free and Anastasia talked me through with patience and true care for me. I cannot thank her enough. Today, on my last visit for this course of treatment I had so few nerves, it was like I was just popping to the shop. I have Mola Dental to thank and, especially, Anastasia, you are a star ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

  • Everything about this dental clinic is amazing, especially the friendly staff, the decor and cleanliness and the payment plan options. I visited for the first time two days ago for a consultation/examination. Anastasia was so friendly, kind and patient and really took the time to explain what she could see clinically and in the x-ray of my teeth. She laid out so clearly everything that she would like to do in the next 6 months to keep my teeth in their best shape, and made sure I fully understood everything. I returned today for a replacement filling and again I was made to feel completely at ease and Anastasia made sure I was comfortable at every moment during the appointment. I brought my children with me to the appointment and all of the staff were so kind and patient towards them, giving them a sticker and praising them. When it came to having their appointment with Sarah, they were made to feel welcome and comfortable and I couldn’t have asked for a better first dentist experience for them. They can’t wait to come back next time! Thank you so much to the whole team for making us all feel so at ease and comfortable.

  • Mola Dental and all its staff are truly wonderful. I have spent huge swathes of my life avoiding dentists like the proverbial plague. I had a very bad experience years ago during which I was hurt, messily and very badly. I swore that it was the last time I would ever visit a dentist again. I remained paranoid, anxious and fearful. By the time my partner finally insisted I have my teeth looked at again I had gone 15 years without treatment and clearly, there was work to be done. Chet, Francesca and their staff welcomed me with heartfelt assurances of my safety and treated me with kid gloves. I was consulted at every stage and repeatedly asked if I was OK to continue during every treatment session. As a consequence of their attention to detail and care, I now see them regularly and it is indeed a happy ending for me and my teeth! All the staff are super friendly and professional and I have no hesitation in recommending Mola Dental to anyone who has, like me, had a bad experience in the past. Have confidence, you are in safe hands! Denise Wrightson

What to Look for in a Private Children's Dentist

Call us to book an appointment on 0114 317 7002

When choosing a private dentist for your child, there are a few key qualities to keep in mind, all of which can make a big difference to your child’s comfort, confidence, and long-term oral health for those “baby teeth”.

  • Experience with children – Dentists who regularly treat younger patients tend to be more attuned to their needs and anxieties.

  • A calm and friendly atmosphere – A relaxed environment helps children feel safe, especially during their first few visits.

  • Good communication – It’s important that both children and parents feel listened to and clearly informed at every step.

  • A gentle approach to treatment – Many children are nervous about dental visits, so a kind and patient manner goes a long way.

  • Convenient and accessible location – Easy parking, weekend appointments, and proximity to home or school can all make visits stress-free.

  • Engaging distractions – Waiting rooms with books, cartoons, or screens can help keep little ones entertained and relaxed.

What to Expect at Your Child’s First Dental Check-Up

Call us to book an appointment on 0114 317 7002

At Mola Dental, we know that a child’s first dental visit sets the tone for how they’ll feel about the dentist in the future, so we make it as calm and reassuring as possible.

Your child will be welcomed into a bright, modern clinic and invited to sit in the comfy reclining dental chair, which many children find quite exciting! We’ll gently show them some of the basic instruments, like a small mirror and a ‘tooth counter’ (explorer), so they know what to expect. The overhead light will help the dentist see clearly, and we’ll always check your child is comfortable before starting.

The check-up itself is quick and non-invasive. The dentist will count your child’s teeth, check for any early signs of decay or crowding, and look at how the teeth and jaw are developing. If needed, we may use a flavoured mouthwash to rinse or clean gently.

We’ll also offer friendly advice on brushing, diet, and habits like thumb-sucking – and there’s always time for questions from parents or children. Many kids leave feeling proud of their first visit, with a sticker in hand.

Children’s Dental Plans Affordable Ongoing Care

Call us to book an appointment on 0114 317 7002

At Mola Dental, we know how important it is to stay on top of your child’s oral health, especially during the years when good habits and healthy development are taking shape. With NHS waiting lists growing and many families struggling to register with an NHS dentist, access to reliable, regular care has never been more important.

That’s why we offer the Mola Kids Dental Plan, providing affordable, consistent care for just £5.72 per month.

The plan includes:

  • Two dental examinations per year – helping to catch any issues early and support long-term oral health

  • Small intra-oral X-rays where clinically required – for a more detailed picture when needed

  • 15% discount on private treatments

  • Full access to the Global Accident & Emergency Scheme, giving you extra peace of mind in case of unexpected dental issues while on your family holiday or visiting relatives abroad

For many parents, having consistent access to friendly, expert dental care, without long NHS waits or appointment uncertainty, makes a real difference. The Mola Kids Dental Plan offers that peace of mind for the price of a pack of nappies each month.

With evening and weekend availability, flexible scheduling, and a welcoming team that puts children at ease, it’s a simple, affordable way to prioritise your child’s oral health. It’s all about dependable care, when and where you need it.

Easy Access and Convenient Location

Visiting the dentist shouldn’t be stressful, especially when you’ve got children in tow. Mola Dental is based in a central Sheffield location that’s easy to reach, whether you’re coming by car, bus or on foot.

We’re located within the Archer Road retail park in Sheffield,  offering free parking, including dedicated parent-and-child spaces, so there’s no need to worry about finding a spot or getting little ones in and out of the car safely. 

For families using public transport, several local bus routes stop nearby, making it just as simple to reach us without a car. Our ground-floor, accessible premises make it easy for buggies, prams and wheelchairs too.

With evening and weekend appointments available, you can book visits around your schedule, not the other way around. We are situated a stone’s throw from Bright Horizons Millhouses Day Nursery, making us a convenient stop on the nursery run.

Making Your Child’s Dentistry Visit Comfortable and Fun

At Mola Dental, we know that a trip to the dentist can feel daunting for some children, but we go out of our way to make it a positive, relaxed experience.

Our friendly and approachable team are brilliant with children. They take the time to help young patients feel at ease, using a gentle approach and clear explanations to build trust from the very first visit.

From cheerful greetings to stickers and praise, everything we do is designed to make children feel welcome and confident about coming back. Nervous or shy? That’s no problem; our team has plenty of experience supporting children who need a little extra reassurance.

Once your appointment has finished, why not reward your child with a trip to the park? Kids love the nearby Millhouses Park with play area and cafe – only a 7-minute walk/2-minute drive away.

Tips for Keeping Your Child’s Teeth Healthy

Good oral health habits start young – and with a little daily care, you can help your child enjoy a healthy smile for life.

  • Brush twice a day – Help your child brush morning and night using a pea-sized amount of fluoride toothpaste. Make sure to choose an age-appropriate toothpaste – these are specially formulated with the right fluoride levels for children’s developing teeth.

  • Watch sugar intake – Try to limit sugary snacks and drinks, especially between meals. Water and milk are the best options, and keeping sweets as an occasional treat helps protect against tooth decay.

  • Attend regular check-ups – Spotting issues early can prevent more serious problems later. The Mola Kids Dental Plan includes two dental examinations per year, giving you peace of mind that your child’s teeth are being monitored regularly, even if you’re waiting on an NHS place.

  • Make it a family habit – Brush together as a family to make it fun and to set a good example. Routine makes brushing a normal part of the day rather than a chore. Consider setting a timer on your phone or buying a sand timer designed for adequate tooth brushing.

With friendly support from the team at Mola Dental and ongoing care through the affordable kids’ plan, it’s easy to stay on top of your child’s oral health.

Looking for trusted, child-friendly dental care in Sheffield? Mola Dental offers a welcoming environment, convenient appointment times, and an affordable dental plan designed with families in mind.
