Hayden Dental is a long-established private dental practice in Carmarthen, providing high-quality dental care in a modern, welcoming environment.
For us, good dentistry is about much more than treating teeth. It is about building lasting relationships with our patients, understanding their individual needs, and providing care that gives them confidence in their dental health.
We take time to listen, explain things clearly, and make sure you understand your options. Whether you are visiting us for a routine examination, looking to improve your smile, or require more complex treatment - our aim is always to provide the highest standard of care in a way that feels personal and reassuring.
We believe that prevention is an important part of maintaining good oral health. Regular examinations and professional hygiene care, combined with the right advice and support at home, can help prevent problems from developing and maintain healthy teeth and gums for years to come.
Where treatment is needed, we will always take the time to discuss what we recommend and why, together with the alternatives available to you. We want you to feel informed and comfortable with any decision you make about your dental care.

Exceptional Family Dental Care in Carmarthen, West Wales | James & Katie Hayden

'The most important word that can be attributed to a dentist is ‘trust’: trust in the practitioner him/herself to treat you and the health of your teeth with a sympathetic professionalism, and trust in the organisation that has been built to support them.
Add to that an atmosphere of relaxed modern ambience and a team of receptionists who always greet you with a smile, and you have the perfect recipe for making a visit to the dentist a positive experience.
That is what you get at Hayden Dental.'
Hayden Dental has been part of the Carmarthen community for over 60 years.
James Hayden and his wife, Katie, took over the practice in October 2013 from Stewart Lewis, who had practised in Blue Street, Carmarthen for almost 30 years. Many of our patients, who travel from across West Wales – including Carmarthenshire, Pembrokeshire and Ceredigion – and further afield, remember visiting not only Stewart, but also his predecessor, Arnie.
We are proud to continue that history while developing the practice for the future. The new practice opened in 2019, providing us with a purpose-built environment designed around the needs of both our patients and our team.
While the practice has changed considerably over the years, the principles behind it have remained the same: excellent clinical care, a personal approach and a commitment to looking after our patients for the long term.

We moved to our premises on Castle Hill, Carmarthen, in April 2016 and completed a full rebuild in early 2019.
James and Katie personally designed every aspect of the new practice, creating a modern, purpose-built environment with state-of-the-art facilities, equipment, and clinical spaces.
Our philosophy is to provide the highest standards of dental care while maintaining a relaxed atmosphere and a genuine family feel. That philosophy remains at the heart of both our practice and the way we look after our patients.
