Our Story

Esther, the owner and founder of Visage Dental Spa had the vision of opening her own Dental practice one day whilst training at Dental College. Esther was training as a Dental Hygienist and wanted to create a practice that was different and more than just a Dentist. She was passionate about dental hygiene and education for all ages and wanted her practice to be hygiene led with a strong focus on prevention.

Now the vision has become a reality and Esther opened Visage Dental Spa in Harpenden during June 2016.

Esther’s team provides a range of services that ensure Clients enjoy cleaner, brighter and whiter teeth as well as some friendly education to help maintain a healthy mouth.

Our Dentists have been carefully selected to deliver a professional and caring service delivered in a very approachable way. In addition to examinations and general Dentistry, they also offer cosmetic procedures to help people feel confident about their smile.

Esther is determined to create an environment where people want to come with their families to keep their teeth and gums in prime condition.

Esther’s attention to detail and passion to encourage people to “love their smile” is reflected in the Spa style of practice she has created. From the moment, you walk in the door it feels different. The smell, the welcome and the décor all add up to a very personal and relaxing experience.
