About Tovey Little

Where it all began..

The history behind Tovey Little

Tovey Little Dental was founded by Dr Colin Tovey and Dr Peter Little in 1986. Originally based on Bond Street, Wakefield, they built a practice with a reputation for ethical dentistry and excellent patient care.

The practice relocated to the new premises, on Borough Road, Wakefield, in January 2010 and was officially opened on Friday 5th March 2010 by Mary Creagh MP for Wakefield.

In 2021, following their retirement, Dr Nadia Al Ani took the lead as Principal Dentist. She had been trained and mentored by Dr Colin Tovey and shared the Tovey Little vision of high quality family dentistry for all. Together with Karen Fox, Practice Manager, they ensure a patient-centred approach to dentistry.

Tovey Little Dental now have a long-standing, skilled team of Associate Dentists, Hygienists, Dental Therapists and Dentists with Special Interests. Complimented by caring Dental Nurses and a friendly Reception team.

All aspects of dentistry are offered from routine examinations, complex treatments, smile makeovers, full mouth rehabilitation cases and more. All patients are welcomed as we have a team skilled to treat from birth up to over 100!
