Our Practice Story
Coulthard Sullivan Dental Practice are proud to be a family run, private dental practice based in the heart of Wilmslow. The practice is celebrating offering care for 40 years in 2024!
Our ethos is to treat our patients how we would want our family to be treated. That is why, when Professor Paul Coulthard first worked at the practice with Dr John Sullivan, 30 years ago, he decided to register his young family as patients. Paul Coulthard is now Professor in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Dean at Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry, and a Specialist in Oral Surgery at Harley Street.
Dr Francesca Coulthard has since followed in her father and John’s footsteps. Dr Francesca graduated from Manchester Dental School in 2018 and has continued her training and education becoming a Member of the Royal College of Surgeons and undertaking a Diploma in Aesthetic and Restorative dentistry. Francesca and Paul were delighted when the opportunity arose, to take on ownership of the practice to ensure continuity of great care, as provided by John over 30 years.
Coulthard Sullivan is proud to offer excellent oral care to the people of Cheshire and South Manchester.

What our patients say…
I was recommended to John. I was a very nervous patient and could be classed as ‘phobic’. I had to have emergency treatment- root canal fillings, and found John to be very patient, caring and reassuring. Treatment went well and gave me confidence to venture more into cosmetic work. My ‘phobia’ which covered a 20 year period of neglect is well and truly cured. I happily went for bridge work and now intend to replace very old and ugly metal fillings. I feel excited to have better looking teeth, taking pride in my appearance. John and his girls make for an excellent team. Thank you.
Gillian CI was anxious to go to the dentist and found Francesca’s approach very caring and non-judgemental. She really put me at ease.
Harry CMy family and I have been patients at John’s Dental Practice for over 20 years. It’s a modern and up to date practice with all the latest equipment, the staff are friendly, caring and professional, very good with children and adults alike, I always feel at ease and happy with my treatment, I trust John completely! I would recommend this practice to anyone, if you have a fear of the dentist you will be looked after and have the best treatment.
Margaret LBeen coming to John’s Dental Practice for over 10 years. Wonderful team always make you feel so relaxed. Very informative of all treatments and explain all options for treatments. Great on reminder appointments which is good as I tend to forget!
Andrea TAfter I chipped my front tooth John repaired it, but at the same time he offered to fill the gaps between my front teeth. Now I am over the moon every time I see my new smile in the mirror and on photo’s. I think it’s amazing what a difference it has made and I am delighted that I have had my treatment.
Gabrielle JWhen I visit John Sullivan Dental Practice. I always request to see Dimitris as he makes me feel calm and comfortable and he is always very calming. I wouldn’t go anywhere else. He is 100% amazing.
Dawn LBeen coming for over 20 years. Have always had every confidence in the service – professional, friendly and will continue to recommend to others.
