History

Kingsclere Dental Practice has been serving patients throughout Alton for over 90 years!

The building was built in 1897, but it didn’t become a dentist straight away. It was built for Harry Wilson (the Master of the Alton Union Warehouse). Kingsclere was probably intended to provide their family with rental income (they lived in Stowell Villa next door).

The first dentist to move into the building was a Percy W. Binsted who moved in between 1924 and 1931. Having been born in 1900 he would have been quite young when he started. He stayed at Kingsclere until at least 1949, which is the last record we have of him residing at the building. Mr Binsted passed away himself in 1967.

Working alongside Mr. Binsted at Kingsclere was Mr. Steve Kench. The pair ran the 2 practices throughout the 1950’s and 60’s in Kingsclere and Liss.

Our patients still tell us of memories of visiting Binstead and Kench as children or recounting the experiences of their parents. Thankfully, dentistry has come a long way since those days!

I have used this dental practice for years I know them. They are within walking distance from home I have used a dentist located along the road since I was taken as a child to mr Royle. Kingsclear came along years later and I just joined them at first with PPP and continue to do so as an oap I hope this helps

My children are registered at Kingsclere Dental. We are always seen promptly and the reception staff are always so welcoming. Kemi is very very attentive towards my children and takes her time to explain things in an age appropriate way for them. Kemi stopped to make sure that my son was comfortable several times throughout his appointment and made a 5 year old feel at ease in an environment that a lot of people feel anxious. Kemi is a credit to Kingsclere.

Needed emergency treatment for broken tooth. Came into practice to see if I could have appointment that day. Offered two times - later in morning and in afternoon. Was able to see my own lovely dentist (Mo) who sorted my problem, explainly clearly what was and was not possible. I left feeling greatly relieved. Thank you!
