We believe that everyone should be looked after. NHS treatment is the default treatment offered to all new patients unless they specify for higher quality private work.
Modern ethos of dental treatment is to treat tooth pain, decayed and broken down teeth by trying to be as minimally invasive and trying to restore the natural tooth.
Gum disease (gingivitis) or bone loss around a tooth (periodontitis) is an infection of the dental support structures, and is one of the main causes of tooth loss.
In the old days, Dental teachings were that “if in doubt whip it out”, teeth with diseased painful nerves were extracted. Thankfully, with advances in scientific dentistry, we are able to easily maintain the tooth.
Our cosmetic services include a variety of treatments such as Invisalign Go®, composite bonding, tooth whitening, porcelain veneers, implants, dentures and crowns.
NHS treatment is the default treatment offered to all new patients unless they specify for higher quality private work. We have dedicated NHS laboratories. NHS treatment has its limitations set by the government, for example, no white fillings and white crowns on back teeth.

-Pregnant mothers, nursing mothers, until the baby is 12 months old

We have extensive experience working with both adults and children. We understand that these two groups have different needs, and we address them all, providing quality regular dental visits and patient and parent education.
SERVICES FOR CHILDREN INCLUDE:
The examination provided minimum once a year.
Fluoride for children between 2-6 years of age, we follow the Childsmile initiative.
Education on proper oral hygiene with dietary advice about sweets, chocolates, fizzy drinks and boxed juices.
Sealants – This is an excellent method to help reduce the chances of a child getting decay. These are sealants on teeth fissures that have or are showing strong signs of decay- an excellent preventive measure.
Extractions – these are carried out if the tooth has an abscess or can’t otherwise be adequately restored, or retained if needed to be removed by orthodontic reasons.
