General Dentistry

Modern dentistry focuses firmly on prevention to avoid the need for more extensive and costly treatment. We want to see you regularly so we can keep a close eye on your oral health and spot any problems before they get worse. During a routine check-up, we will look for signs of infection, tooth decay, gum disease and oral cancer. We will also teach you how to look after your teeth effectively at home.

If we do detect any issues, these can be addressed with our range of treatments to repair and restore teeth including:

• Fillings – we can repair a damaged tooth with traditional amalgam fillings or composite fillings for a more natural looking result.
• Root canal therapy – this involves the removal of infected pulp to save a tooth that may otherwise have to be extracted.
• Crowns – we can restore the strength, shape and look of an unsightly tooth with these permanent cover-ups.
• Bridges – these can fill the gaps left by missing teeth. They consist of a false tooth positioned between two crowns that slot over the teeth either side of a gap.
• Dentures – our modern dentures restore your smile and make smiling, speaking and eating so much easier.

As well as investing in relevant training, equipment and technology, we are keen to get to know you as an individual so we can provide tailored oral healthcare. We also want to make you feel as relaxed as possible when you attend appointments and we will always listen to any of your concerns.

Cosmetic Dentistry

If you are unhappy with the appearance of your teeth, we can offer a range of cosmetic treatments including teeth whitening, teeth straightening, white fillings and veneers to simply freshen up or totally transform your smile.

• Teeth whitening – You can achieve a brighter, more youthful looking smile with teeth whitening – a safe chemical process that gently lightens discoloured teeth.
• Veneers – These thin tooth coloured shells are fixed permanently on the front of a tooth to conceal chips, discolouration or gaps. Made from natural looking materials, they offer an attractive restoration that requires only minimal preparation to the tooth.
• White fillings – White fillings offer a less obvious way to repair a decayed or damaged tooth as they are made from tough tooth-coloured resin.
• Teeth straightening – Orthodontic treatment can help straighten up crooked, protruding or overcrowded teeth. It can also close up gaps and correct your ‘bite’, leaving you with an improved smile. Adult-friendly appliances, such as clear aligners and lingual braces, can offer a more discreet alternative to fixed metal braces.
