Fast braces
Serving patients throughout East Sussex and Crowborough
At Durban Dental Centre you don’t need to spend years in fixed braces to achieve a perfect smile. We offer revolutionary, discreet options that straighten teeth in record time.
Fast braces are much like the traditional fixed braces you’ve probably seen before… but there is a big difference. Focusing on just the front teeth visible within your smile line, Fast Braces can achieve results in just a few months by gently guiding these teeth into an ideal position quickly and effectively.
Featuring clear wires and discreet low-profile tooth-coloured brackets, fast braces from Durban Dental Centre are so discreet, they often go unnoticed.
Using the latest computer technology, each brace is custom made to your individual requirements to maximise comfort and ensure precise results.
The length of treatment varies depending on how much movement you need to achieve your new smile, but for mild cases, results can be seen in as little as 3 months. Your dentist will advise on your individual treatment needs following an initial consultation.
Steps to your new smile:
- Consultation and planning
Book a consultation with our dental experts at Durban Dental Centre. Our fast brace dentist, our dentist, will discuss your desired outcome, your treatment options and give you an idea of time to complete your treatment.
our dentist will then invite you for a follow on appointment to take impressions of your teeth, taking precise measurements to make your custom made braces just for you. - Transformation
After your braces have been custom made, our dentist will fit them ensuring they fit well and are comfortable, so you can begin your straightening journey.
You’ll need to return to see our dentist every 4 to 6 weeks for a wire change, so the teeth can be slowly guided into position.
our dentist will continually monitor your treatment at each appointment, making any required adjustments to your treatment plan to ensure the best results are delivered. - Retaining your new smile
Once your new smile is achieved, you’ll need to wear a retainer to ensure your teeth remain beautifully aligned. Retainers can either be removable clear trays, similar to a mouth guard, or a fixed retainer which are discreetly attached to the back of the teeth for continual support.
If you are looking for teeth straightening in East Sussex and Crowborough and want to know more about your options, get in touch to arrange a consultation at Durban Dental Centre.

I highly recommend Durban Dental to anyone! My children and I have recently signed up to the practice and the level of care we have received has been brilliant. Rebecca and Emma are so warm and friendly and immediately put you at ease. Rebecca took her time to explain everything really clearly and my children were thrilled with the dentist goody bag at the end. From the moment I first contacted Durban Dental everyone has been really helpful - very friendly reception team, easy to make an appointment and a warm welcome on arrival. Thank you all!

Danny Murphy
Absolutely brilliant dental practice! I avoided going to the dentist for many years but before my wedding, I wanted to get my smile freshened up. Rebecca and her dental nurse Emma were fantastic and gave me the smile I wanted for our big day! I genuinely enjoy going to the dentists now, always greeted with a friendly welcome from the receptionists, they confused me with a delivery driver on my last visit which I thought was hilarious! Also learned a lot from Kate the hygienist on how to take care of teeth going forward, the advice she gives me is spot on and over the last 2 years my teeth and gums are so much healthier! Couldn’t recommend them enough!
Michael Hazell-Smith
Their hygienist Anda is outstanding. In decades of experiencing the services of many hygienists in many practices I consider her to be the best Mr Sim, the dentist who Iooks after my teeth is also very knowledgeable and the implants he fitted a few years ago are excellent.
Laura T-S
I highly recommend this as a family dentist. Not only providing an exceptional level of care and precision but so caring and compassionate too- so ideal for any nervous patients. My daughter has received excellent care along with myself since moving to Crowborough back in 2013. Ahmet transformed my smile with two dental implants in 2014 and I was very nervous about this but he made the whole process pain free and relaxed. Christine is a brilliant hygienist and helps my gums keep healthy - and it’s always a pleasure to see her. Big thanks also to the brilliant reception team who are also so welcome and friendly. Marie and Heather are so helpful and make very trip to the dentist fun and enjoyable. Not many dental practices can say that!

Have been here since 1988 and the team here are nothing short of excellent. Even when living in London, I used to travel down to Durban Dental Centre as I could not think of going anywhere else. When it comes to such important matters as one’s teeth, you need to be people you fully trust. I have also had almost a full set of crowns and an implant, the whole works. Great customer experience lead by the super front of house team of Heather and Marie.

As a practice I am happy with the service I receive and specifically so with the treatment received from Mr Sim, my dentist. After many experiences with dentists over my lifetime, I have found it rare that I come across one which I can totally trust, so his ability, calm demeanour and skill all help to make for a stress free, positive experience. On that basis I would not hesitate to recommend his and the services of Durban.

I go twice and year and they keep my teeth and mouth in good order. I would thoroughly recommend this practice to my friends.

The appointment was on time, the dentist took time to explain what further treatments were possible. I wasn’t pressured to go down one particular route. The dentist has offered a follow up discussion after I’ve seen the hygienist tondis uss options.

It was a pleasure seeing the Dentist, not always something you could say!
23rd March 2022
I had a set of crowns / bridges removed which had been wrongly done by a different dental practice. I was made to feel safe in the dental chair whilst a lot of work was being carried out. I’m looking forward to more work being carried out to get the end result I’ve always wanted. The receptionists are also great, positive attitude and try their hardest to accommodate your needs. Very nice atmosphere in the waiting room and I’ve only ever waited a few minutes before treatment.
23rd March 2022

I will always recommend the surgery and will continue to go to Durban all them time I can afford a Private dentist. Great Staff and Great Reception team.

Always a kind, warm and friendly welcome from the amazing reception team Marie & Heather, and top class hygienist and dental work with Christine and Ahmed. I had dental implants a few years back and I will always remember how kind everyone was when I was feeling nervous. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a gentle and thorough dentist and all round great service experience- complete trust.
Anna Baker
I visited Ahmet last week and today for treatment. Wished I had changed dentist sooner. Excellent treatment and very happy with my teeth . Highly recommend.

I am not a big fan of dentist visits but Mike but all those fears to rest, what an amazing and caring dentist. Thank you Mike, highly recommend.
WHITNEY GRIFFITHS
Whitney and I (Wendy), despite moving from Crowborough 6 years ago, travel 25 miles to have our dental treatment at Durban Dental Centre. Why? Because Murshid Salman is the BEST dentist either of us has ever had and his skills are worth the mileage! After a chance remark 2 years ago "I don't suppose you can straighten old ladies' teeth?" to which Murshid replied that there was a way ..... he explained a system called Smilelign to me. My teeth were crooked and overlapping and I hated revealing them! He said it would take a considerable time but it could be done and I signed up for a trial, then went ahead with the treatment. That was a great decision because I now have teeth that feel good ( I bite properly!) and I don't think twice about smiling with my lovely straight teeth on show!!! The system is a very simple one ..... a series of virtually invisible aligning moulds which cover your teeth and are changed every few weeks, increasingly pulling errant teeth into the correct alignment until they are perfectly positioned. These are the commitment bits ...... (and you HAVE to be!) *You have to wear the aligners day and night during correction .... which sounded horrifying to me at the outset but in fact was a non-event because I forgot they were in most of the time! *You have to take them out to eat or drink hot drinks, which again becomes second nature. (If you want to lose weight, here's your chance because you tend to not snack between meals!) * Each new set tweaks your teeth ( of course!!!) which is uncomfortable for a couple of days and then settles to nothing. *When complete, you just have to wear a retainer at night periodically to keep everything in place. My treatment was longer than average because my teeth were so bad BUT I am SO happy with the results .... quite unbelievable really!!! Speak to Murshid and make your dreams come true!!!
Karl Herdman
Honestly the best dentist surgery I have been to, I have been a patient for the last 7 years, I see Dr Murshid Salman, everything from his calm nature to his very high expertise in the dentistry I can not recommend him enough to new patients. I have had 2 teeth extractions and every time he has been professional and the work has been absolutely perfect, every step was explained clearly so I knew what to expect. Highly recommended
olivia dorman
I literally never write reviews ever but I just wanted to quickly write one after seeing Mike for an orthodontic consultation - although unfortunately in his professional opinion he recommended I go elsewhere for treatment, I really respected his honesty and he was incredibly warm and friendly, as was his assistant and he gave me some good information to think about - will most likely be switching to them as my general dentist and have encouraged my dad (who is terrified of the dentists) to sign up.
Rebecca Stocker
Changing from my previous dental practice was the best decision I ever made! Never have I come across such warmth and friendliness from every member of staff at Durban Dental. Me and my family went to see Dr Mike Field and was so pleased with the service provided. It was lovely to have someone sit down and explain exactly what was going on and how to upkeep personal care at home as well. Him and his hygienist were also fantastic with our 13 month daughter, just so she could get used to the environment. Would 100% recommend.
Angus Cruickshank
just had my new veneers fitted & what a total transformation they have made to my smile. absolutely stunning job cant quite believe the difference thieve made
Nicola Simpson
Saw Ahmet who replaced a crown for me for cosmetic reasons . Have always been so worried about this as never thought it would be as good as the last, but how wrong was I , what he has done is amazing and I wish I had it done years ago. Also I didn’t feel a thing when the treatment was being done not even the injection , so overall experience was the best. I always recommend Durban to all my friends and family and will continue to do so
Cara t
Couldn't recommend Ahmet enough he has transformed my teeth. 5*
N Wills
Around 6 months ago, I went to enquire about smilelign as I had a overlap on my front tooth. Dr Ahmet Bilginer assessed my teeth and agreed that this would be a good option to correct as I did not want traditional braces. This was a great and easy way to get the desired results - with regular check-ups we were able to discuss the progress and make sure if any amendments were needed. I am now very happy with the results and have very straight front teeth. Would highly recommend.
Ben
Went to this clinic and had a few fillings done by Dr Mike Field. Had a 10/10 service and was made to feel at ease throughout the whole process. Mike explained each step and provided an exemplary service. Will not being going to any other surgery going forward. The surgery itself was spotless, couldn't of asked for a better experience.
Rebecca Atkinson
Would highly recommend this practise, top quality treatment I am so happy with my smilealign and whitening, thank you Dr Field!!
Letitia Bryan
I saw Dr Field for Botox. He was very friendly and professional. I was worried it would hurt, but barely felt it. All in all a very positive experience - highly recommend!
Eric Reed
Due to an incident at work I needed to have 2 front teeth replaced. On the recommendation of a friend I approached Durban Dental Centre to enquire about the various options that would be available. I was immediately impressed by the knowledge, dedication and professionalism of all staff being made to feel most welcome During the consultation, clear plainspoken English was used a price was given with no extras or add- ons unlike other establishments that I had previously visited ,including the internet eastern Europe (who were marginally cheaper) but who knows what sort of after care I would receive should it be required. My journey began and after 7 months I finally have 2 new implants which look natural with a number of work colleges, family and friends complimenting on the work carried out with precision, expertise also looking so natural. Although Durban dental centre is located in a small town in East Sussex I would rate the experience superior to that I had received by dentists in Geneva, Lausanne, and London. I recommend Durban Dental centre to all that read this post. Thank you Chris, Mike. eternally grateful.
Alan Seal
My first treatment by the team at The Durban Dental Centre was in 1980 and since this time I have had regular check-ups and treatment, including in recent years, three implants and four crowns. Over the last 38 years my visits to the surgery have been met with friendly helpful staff and highly professional dental practitioners. My five star rating is well deserved.
Louisa Sheridan
Murshid Salman is by far the best dentist I have ever come across. I have known him a long time and he has always been highly professional but also extremely empathic. Apart from being an excellent dentist he also has a very friendly approach to his clients automatically relaxing them when in the chair! He recently removed one of my teeth due to my having an abscess. I had been in much pain and was not looking forward to the extraction, but when the tooth was removed Murshid made sure that I was completely pain free and was very efficient in removing the tooth. It also healed up very quickly afterwards. My seventeen year old daughter has also been under his care recently due to imperfect upper and lower teeth requiring a number of Smilelign aligners. Her teeth are now perfectly straight and I now have a very happy daughter! I can not recommend Murshid and the reception team highly enough.
Holly Russell
Having naughtily avoided visiting a dentist for quite some time I was a bit nervous about going to the dentist and was prepared for a lecture. However, I needn't have worried as rather than a lecture I received a warm welcome and was instantly put at ease by Dr Michael Field during my appointment. He was informative and the appointment that I had been dreading actually turned out to be a pleasant experience! As a first time patient at the dental centre I will certainly be attending again (and on a regular basis)!!
Paul Garden
Since becoming a patient I have been treated very very well. I am happy to recommend all the staff I have encountered. The dental work has been excellent and caring, the hygienists have been gentle and considerate and the reception staff have always been both thoughtful and willing to help. What more can I say!
James Cooper
I recently visited Durban Dental Centre after a number of years living in Asia. This had meant 5+ years without attending to my teeth and a growing sense of angst. The ladies at reception promptly helped me get registered and their smiling and supportive nature settled any initial worries. I was seen for an initial check up by Dr Michael Field. His approach was outstanding, explaining everything in detail, providing tips and helping me feel completely at ease with the process. Delighted to report I only needed a few fillings, and these were painless. Dr Field carried out his work whilst ensuring I was comfortable throughout. A brilliant experience and one that far exceeded my expectations.
Relax and Refine Therapies
Outstanding quality of work performed by Ashley Sim with great explanations and patient care. The result of the work is completely natural looking and I will happily recommend Ashley to friends and family.
Annie Ceebee
Had my regular checkup last week with my favourite dentist, Murshid Salman. I have been with the practice for many years and during the past couple have had other health issues which Murshid recognised from medication listed. I had really been struggling to know where to find help and he has been the only health professional who has given me the time to listen and advice to help out. He has made it clear that dentists don’t just look after teeth but the whole person. I can’t thank him enough and highly recommend this most kind, caring dentist.
Penny Barnden
Always a friendly reception, dentist and nurse make me feel welcome and reasured. Positive results very pleased with my retainer programme especially recommend the whitening.

I had big problems with teeth and gums - problem solved Nice staff to help you overcome any fears that you might have.
john hitchcock
Quite simply the best dentist (Dr Ashley Sim) and nurse (Debbie Rickwood) we've ever had! Kind, compassionate, skilled and thorough. Even our 14 and 11yr olds are completely relaxed and confident, before, during and after some complex treatments. A holistic approach with specialized knowledge and expert skill inspires complete confidence and great results. as a family we are very thankful and grateful for both of them.
Domaine de Beausoleil Lauzun
I saw Dr Mike Field who was very patient, caring and compassionate. He consulted with me at every stage of the treatment outlining my options. The nurse assisting him was also very kind and helpful. Happy to say that the treatment worked and I would definitely recommend this practice and especially Dr Field. Thank you.
julie cornford

Linda Harper
I recently visited Durban Dental Centre with my children. It was their first visit to the dentist so I wasn't sure what to expect but Mike and his nurse were absolutely fantastic with them - and me. They put us all at ease and even made it fun. The kids are looking forward to going back in 6 months for their next check up!
Robert Cook
As Cabin Crew, spending a lot of time out of the UK, having a reliable, professional dentist based at home who shows flexibility and care is hugely important. Recently on return to the UK with a dental problem, The Durban Dental Centre, but especially Chris Wood my dentist, was able to provide quick treatment at a convenient time, much to my relief.... What GREAT service. Would thoroughly recommend this dental practice to anybody who cares about their teeth and appreciates being treated gently.
Sarah Field
I had an appointment with the new dentist today and must say I was very impressed by his total professionalism. I was made to feel comfortable as soon as I walked in and would definitely recommend Durban Dental Centre to all of my family and freinds. It's so refreshing to find a practice that clearly cares a lot for their patients and makes the whole experience as stress free as possible! Thank you.
Natasha J Wood
I recently had dental and facial treatment with Dr A.Bilginer he was fantastic. Very professional and friendly with a wealth of knowledge, he made me feel it at ease and comfortable, i was very pleased with my treatment, his eye for aesthetic detail is superb. I cant wait to have my next treatment!!
