Good dental hygiene is what underpins dental health and by working together we prolong the life of our patients’ teeth. We hope you will be delighted with the comprehensive range of services we provide.

Health & hygiene

Our aim is to give you a clean bill of health and our two-pronged approach includes visiting our dentists and hygienist, who between them will improve the health of your mouth with thorough examinations, professional cleaning and expert advice.

We offer children, parents and grandparents the opportunity of regularly visiting our hygienist and oral health educator. The care and advice they provide, backed up by a meticulous dental regime at home, helps patients maintain healthy mouths and keep them free from tooth decay and gum disease.

Restorative care

Treatment includes crowns (or caps), which are porcelain or gold covers for damaged or unsightly teeth. Porcelain crowns are carefully crafted to look natural and blend in with the rest of your teeth and can eliminate dark metallic lines around the gums. Bridges can be used to permanently fit a replacement tooth or teeth by being carefully attached to adjacent teeth or natural-looking dentures in metal or acrylic can be used to replace missing teeth.

Cosmetic treatments

The advances in cosmetic dentistry are very exciting and allow us to brighten stained teeth, discoloured by tea, coffee, red wine or smoking, with tooth whitening, to give you a more dazzling smile. Unsightly metal fillings can be replaced with natural-coloured fillings to improve the look of your smile and allow you to laugh with confidence, and veneers, which are like ‘false nails’ for teeth, provide a wafer thin mask to hide discolouration and close unsightly gaps, with little or no work being needed on the tooth itself.

Orthodontics

Orthodontics is the branch of dentistry that concentrates on the alignment of the teeth and jaws. Braces are the best way to achieve a desirable smile, naturally. Our principal dentist, Hilary Baynes, has many years’ experience of assessing children for braces and can provide fixed, removable and functional braces for adults and children. We carry out NHS orthodontic treatment for those who are eligible.
