About Us

A family-run practice at the heart of Crayford

Ark-G has cared for the local community for more than 50 years and has been under the care of the Allen family since 2001. Today, the practice is jointly led by Dr Allen and Dr Margarita, alongside their children Dr Richard, Dr Michael and Dr Abiola, all practising dentists.

That strong family foundation continues to shape the atmosphere of the practice. Many patients have been visiting for years, often returning with partners, children and extended family members over time. There is a real sense of continuity here, with an emphasis on trust, long-term relationships and genuinely personal care.

Following recent renovation and expansion, our practice at 8–12 Crayford High Street combines modern facilities with a welcoming, community-focused feel.

Dentistry that’s with you, for the journey

Our approach is built around support, function and longevity. Rather than focusing on quick fixes alone, we look at the bigger picture. This means helping patients maintain healthy, stable smiles that continue to function comfortably over time. This means considering not only how teeth look, but how they work together, how comfortable they feel and how treatment supports long-term oral health.

We focus on evidence-based dentistry and durable treatment options, including high-quality restorations, preventative care and same-day private crowns designed to support both aesthetics and function.

We also see prevention as one of the most important parts of dental care. By educating and supporting our patients, we aim to help reduce the need for more invasive treatment in the future and give patients greater confidence in managing their oral health long term.

A calm and supportive approach

We understand that visiting the dentist does not always feel easy. For some patients, previous experiences, anxiety or embarrassment can make seeking treatment feel overwhelming. That is why we place such importance on listening carefully, communicating clearly and creating an environment where patients feel respected and supported throughout their care.

Every treatment plan is tailored to the individual, with time taken to understand concerns, explain options properly and help patients make informed decisions without pressure.

Modern dentistry with a thoughtful approach

Alongside routine, preventative and cosmetic dentistry, Ark-G provides advanced treatments including dental implants, restorative dentistry, facial aesthetics and periodontal care. Treatment is guided by careful planning, modern clinical techniques and a strong focus on natural-looking, long-lasting outcomes that feel comfortable and appropriate for the individual patient.

At every stage, we aim to provide dentistry that feels thoughtful, honest and centred around long-term wellbeing, helping patients feel healthier, more comfortable and more confident in their smile.
