Services

General dentistry for the whole family, alongside cosmetic treatment. If you are not sure what you need, the simplest thing is to book an examination and go through it together.

Check-ups & examinations

Regular examinations that catch problems while they are still small.

An examination covers the teeth, gums and bite, with X-rays taken where they are called for. You get a clear picture of where things stand: what needs doing now, what can wait, and what simply needs keeping an eye on.

  • Examination of teeth, gums and bite
  • X-rays where they are called for
  • Screening for decay and gum disease
  • A treatment plan with costs set out before anything starts

Hygiene & prevention

Scaling, polishing and advice that keep your gums healthy.

Tartar builds up however well you brush, and it is tartar that leads to gum inflammation and, later, to loose teeth. We clean and polish the teeth and go through how to reach the spots your brush is missing.

  • Scaling and polishing
  • Assessment of gum health and bleeding
  • Fluoride treatment where appropriate
  • Advice on brushes, floss and interdental brushes

Fillings & restorations

Decay repaired with fillings that match the colour of the tooth.

Decay caught early is a small job: the damage is cleaned away and filled with a material matched to the shade of the tooth. The longer it is left, the larger the repair becomes — and the more likely the root is to be involved.

  • Tooth-coloured composite fillings
  • Replacement of old and leaking fillings
  • Repair of chipped and worn teeth
  • Local anaesthetic, so treatment is painless

Cosmetic dentistry

Whitening and refinements that even out your smile.

Cosmetic work is usually a matter of detail: colour, shape and how the teeth line up together. We go through what is realistic in your case, show you the options, and say honestly when we think less would do.

  • In-practice whitening and take-home whitening with custom trays
  • Reshaping teeth with composite bonding
  • Porcelain veneers
  • An honest view of what is realistic before anything starts

Crowns, bridges & dentures

Options for when a tooth is too damaged for an ordinary filling.

Once a large part of the tooth is gone, a filling no longer holds. A crown then covers what is left and strengthens it, or a bridge fills the gap where a tooth has been lost. We go through the pros and cons of each option, including how long it is likely to last.

  • Porcelain and zirconia crowns
  • Bridges to replace teeth that have been lost
  • Full and partial dentures
  • Repair and replacement of older crowns and bridges

Root canal treatment

Treatment that saves a tooth once infection reaches the root.

When decay reaches the nerve, the tooth becomes sensitive and often aches with heat or cold. Root canal treatment removes the infected tissue, cleans and fills the canals, and then rebuilds the tooth — so you keep it rather than lose it.

  • Root fillings in one or more visits, depending on the case
  • Local anaesthetic and pain relief throughout
  • Rebuilding of the tooth once treatment is complete
  • Referral to a specialist when the case calls for it

Emergency appointments & toothache

Pain, a broken tooth or a lost filling — call first thing.

Toothache rarely settles by itself, and usually costs more the longer it is left. Call as early in the day as you can, describe what has happened, and we will find you the first slot available.

  • Toothache and sensitivity to hot or cold
  • Broken teeth and lost fillings or crowns
  • Swelling, abscesses and inflamed gums
  • Something to settle it now, with full treatment to follow
