How Ilkley Dental Care can help you with all your oral health needs
Welcome to Ilkley Dental Care!
At Ilkley Dental Care, we understand how important it is to find a dentist your family can trust. Whether you’re bringing in your little one for their first visit or seeking advanced care for yourself, our experienced team is here for every stage of your dental journey.
Since 2006, Philip Moore and Owen Higgs have proudly led the practice after working together in Keighley. Rooted in the heart of Ilkley, our clinic has become a trusted fixture in the community, with many patients staying with us since day one. In 2018, Phil and Owen expanded their commitment to quality dental care by taking on Belle Vue Dental Practice in Skipton, where they continue to uphold the same high standards and patient-focused approach.
Avoiding the dentist can lead to more than just discomfort, untreated dental issues can affect overall wellbeing, confidence, and quality of life. That’s why we focus not only on exceptional care but also on prevention, education, and comfort.
Our modern facilities blend cutting-edge technology with a calming, family-friendly environment, designed to make you feel relaxed from the moment you arrive. From regular check-ups to advanced treatments, we provide comprehensive NHS and private dental care tailored to your needs.
Our Ethos
Our ethos is focused on long-term preventative dental care, we believe that all patients should receive continuity of dental care and if seen regularly we can help to prevent dental problems that would otherwise cause damage to your oral health.
We are here first to address any of your dental needs and concerns. Our promise is to listen to you, understand what you want and then give you advice on all the treatment options available with a full breakdown of costs. We will always explain your treatment to you in a non-technical language that you can understand and keep you updated on treatment progress step-by-step.

6 May 2025My appointment was on time, the treatment was (without anaesthetic) painless, the discussion interesting and useful, I left with no restriction on a visit to my local hostelry. A good afternoon!

Great treatment by Jo today. I remember the aphorism that the people who visit the dentist most often are those with problems! I also recall my friend Max saying that whenever he visited the dentist he always felt that his teeth really belonged to the dentist and he was just looking after them. Neither true of Jo. Thanks.
Steve Hencher
16 April 2025Friendly, caring staff - even the dentist smiled!
Linda Barber
16 April 2025Been ill recently, incl hospital, a couple of weeks prior to my appointment. However, everyone at Ilkley Dentists was concerned, professional and caring. They took detailed notice of my illness and recovery and current health and symptoms, and tailored my visit accordingly. I felt great afterwards. Thank you.

7 April 2025On 31st March 2025 I cracked my denture eating an apple early in the morning! I took it to Ilkley Dental Clinic at about 10.30am. First impressions were very good, helped by the very pleasant and helpful receptionist. She called the Dental Technician who came up very quickly, looked at the denture and said "it will be ready in an hour" and indeed it was! At £30 I thought it was very reasonable too. I would recommend Ilkley Dental to anyone needing help with Dental issues. Les Winder, Otley.

I have just seen Joe at the practice this morning. Even though he had to replace a large filling in a molar, there was no discomfort during or after the anesthetic wore off and the new filling feels very comfortable. I Can wholeheartedly recommend.
