Services
Preventative Dental Care
Our preventative care focuses on maintaining oral health through regular check-ups, hygiene treatments, and tailored advice. We offer scaling, polishing, and fluoride varnish applications to prevent decay. Patients receive personalised guidance on brushing techniques and diet, ensuring long-term dental wellness. This service suits all ages seeking to maintain healthy teeth and gums.
Teeth Whitening
Boutique teeth whitening uses custom trays and professional-grade gel for safe, effective results. We provide take-home kits with detailed instructions after an initial assessment. This cosmetic treatment addresses discolouration from food, drink, or smoking. Ideal for patients seeking a brighter smile without invasive procedures.
Orthodontics
We offer Smilers Clear aligners for discreet teeth straightening. These removable, transparent trays gradually correct misalignment without metal brackets. Treatment plans are customised using digital scans, with periodic adjustments. Suitable for adults and older teens seeking aesthetic orthodontic solutions.
Emergency Care
Dental emergencies like pain, swelling, or trauma are prioritised during practice hours. We provide same-day assessments and immediate interventions such as extractions or temporary fillings. Out-of-hours emergencies are directed to NHS 111 for urgent care coordination.
NHS Dentistry
Free NHS treatment covers children under 18, including check-ups, fillings, and extractions. We participate in the 'Dental Check-Up by 1' campaign, promoting early oral health education. Parents receive guidance on infant dental care during initial consultations.
