Three of our most sought-after services — each delivering results that genuinely change how patients feel about their smile.

Facial Aesthetics
Anti-wrinkle injections, dermal fillers and TMJ treatment — delivered by Dr Alan, trained personally by the globally renowned Prof Bob Khanna.

Meet the Team
A small, close-knit team who genuinely care about every patient. Many of our patients have been with us for decades — and that says everything.
Qualifying BDS from the University of Witwatersrand, Johannesburg in 1995, Alan began his career working alongside specialists in oral surgery, implantology, prosthetics, periodontics and endodontics. In 1997 he became principal dentist of a prestigious practice in Sandton, Johannesburg — where his clientele included television and sporting personalities. He relocated to the UK in 2001, worked in Central London practices, then acquired Bowling Green Dental Surgery in 2005. Trained in facial aesthetics by the world-renowned Professor Bob Khanna (2003 and 2013), Alan has been placing and restoring implants for over 15 years and has completed the world-renowned FGDP course for dental implants.
Samantha has over 20 years of dental nursing experience and brings calm, professional expertise to every appointment. Her reassuring chairside manner puts patients at ease and ensures every visit runs smoothly. Samantha is GDC registered and committed to the highest standards of patient care.
After serving as Dr de Vos's dental nurse for 22 years, Sandra has taken on a new role as part-time receptionist. Our friendly face on a Tuesday and Thursday — if you've visited us, you'll know Sandra's warm welcome makes every patient feel right at home.
Glennis has been the backbone of Bowling Green Dental Surgery since Dr Alan acquired the practice in 2005. As practice manager and Alan's mother, she keeps the practice running smoothly behind the scenes — and has been integral to building the warm, family atmosphere the practice is known for.
A Truly Family Practice
Bowling Green Dental is a family practice in the truest sense — Dr Alan de Vos acquired the practice in 2005 and has been joined by his mother Glennis ever since. The practice itself has been serving Old Town, Stevenage since the 1980s. Many of our patients first came to us as children and now bring their own families. We think that speaks for itself.
A Practice Built on Trust & Relationships
Dr Alan de Vos has been serving Stevenage for over two decades, and many of our patients have been coming to us for years — bringing their children and grandchildren with them.
When you call us, you'll be greeted by our front-of-house team who know many patients by name — a personal touch no corporate dental chain can replicate.
“I've been coming to Bowling Green for over 10 years. Consistently excellent care — the practice has modern equipment and the team really take the time to explain what they're doing. 10/10.”
Making Quality Dental Care Accessible
We are a 100% private practice — no NHS treatment. We offer flexible payment options to keep quality care accessible:
