Dental Hygiene

Teeth cleaning is a simple way of improving your smile, confidence and keeping your teeth at their whitest while also being extremely important for gum health. Regular cleaning with the dentist is important to prevent the onset of gum disease.

Dental Fillings

Fillings are used by the dentist to prevent pain and further complications in a tooth that has already decayed. There are a various number of materials that can be used to fill a tooth and your dentist can discuss with you the types and costs of which ones are appropriate in each individual case. The most conservative option is always the best.

Dental Crowns & Onlays

When fillings are very large or a back tooth has had root treatment it is sometimes necessary to protect the tooth with a stronger restoration than a filling for this we can either provide an onlay, if some walls of the tooth are still intact (which is more conservative than a crown) or a tooth crown to cover the entire remaining tooth

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I book an appointment?

We will send you a reminder by text or e mail before your appointment. If you need to cancel or change an appointment please give us as much notice as possible, at least 24 hours.

Why do I need to come to the dentist if I am not in any pain?

The problem is it doesn’t necessarily follow that not having any pain, means you don’t have any dental problems. Tooth decay and gum disease need to be well advanced before they cause pain. By the time they cause pain treatment becomes more difficult more expensive and time consuming and the outcomes are less predictable. At our check ups we will check your teeth and gums very carefully and advise you of any potential problems. If your teeth and gums are completely healthy, we will give you advice on how to keep them that way. We may also recommend you increase the interval between check-ups to a year or even 2 years if you are spectacularly good!
