Our Service At the outset, we will conduct for you a detailed oral examination - not just of your teeth but also of all the hard and soft tissue of your jaw and face. A full scan provides a complete picture of the mouth and teeth, enabling us to highlight any problems. At this stage, it is really important that we understand your needs - this will be demonstrated in our detailed treatment plan, that includes costs at various stages, which will be discussed and mutually agreed prior to the commencement of treatment. So, from the beginning, you agree the things to be done, and the timescale, and the cost. If specialist treatment is required, we will explain and discuss the options with you. Prevention In any list of oral healthcare treatments, we will always put prevention at the top. It is the single best course of action and, over and above all other activity, our primary concern is always to preserve the natural teeth. We do this by providing thorough cleaning, carried out by our expert dentists, and advice and encouragement on keeping them in first-class condition. Fillings A filling, as we all know, is a method of keeping a natural tooth that might otherwise be lost, but even with this straightforward technique, there are decisions to be made about the choice of material. If a filling is necessary, we will agree with you the kind of materials to be used, taking account of both functional and cosmetic considerations. Crowns No-one would ever know! If a tooth has lost structure, or there is a need to restore shape and form, or to improve function and appearance, a crown is ideal. We model the crown to the precise shape required and then cement or adhesively bond it to a prepared tooth base. Soon afterwards, you will probably have forgotten that it is not a natural tooth. Bridges Bridges, too, look and feel just like natural teeth. There is no need to put up with a gap because a bridge will solve the problem with a minimum of intervention. Every bridge is precisely modelled and securely anchored, to give you complete confidence. Dentures Yes, dentures still have their place, and if this is your choice, the good news today is that dentures are far more precisely modelled than was possible in the past and are really comfortable in use. Extractions The last resort! However, where it is absolutely necessary to remove a tooth, great care is taken to ensure that the bone is disturbed as little as possible so that restorative treatment can be carried out with the minimum of difficulty. The choice is then up to you, a bridge or implant can remedy the gap.
