  • Check-up & clean

    Teeth, gums, bite and soft tissue examined, then scaled and polished.

    Read more about Check-up & clean

    You leave knowing exactly what we found — including the things we are watching rather than treating.

    • 45 minutes
    • Digital images
    • Written findings
  • Dental hygiene

    A longer appointment devoted entirely to your gums, plus coaching on the two or three habits that would actually change things at home.

    Most patients come every six months; some every three.

    • Scale & polish
    • Home-care plan
    • Stain removal
  • White fillings

    Composite and porcelain, shade-matched to the tooth beside it.

    If you have old amalgam you would like removed, we do it under isolation with high-volume suction and filtration.

    • Composite & porcelain
    • Amalgam replacement
    • One visit
  • Root canal therapy

    Rotary endodontics under magnification, usually completed in a single visit.

    It has a worse reputation than it deserves: with proper anaesthetic it feels much like having a filling.

    • Usually one visit
    • Under magnification
    • Crown afterwards
  • Gum disease care

    Bleeding gums are not normal, and untreated they take bone with them.

    Our non-surgical programme is measured, staged and reviewed — with the numbers shown to you each time.

    • Pocket charting
    • Non-surgical
    • Reviewed at 3 months

    A specialist anaesthetist sedates you in the chair.

    You are conscious and breathing on your own, but you will remember almost none of it. Several treatments can be combined into one appointment.

    • Specialist anaesthetist
    • Combine treatments
    • Home the same day
  • Dental decay

    Careful examination and low-dose digital images find decay while it is still small enough to seal rather than drill.

    Where a filling is genuinely needed, we take the smallest amount of tooth we can.

    • Early detection
    • Minimal intervention
    • No amalgam
  • TMJ disorder treatment

    Jaw joints that click, ache, lock or wake you with a headache.

    We separate a muscle problem from a joint problem first, then treat it with an occlusal splint, with anti-wrinkle injections into the chewing muscles, or with both.

    • Occlusal splint
    • Muscle injections
    • Non-surgical
  • CBCT 3D scanning

    A cone-beam scan reconstructs your jaw as a solid volume rather than a flat shadow, on a Morita machine chosen for how little radiation it uses.

    Taken when it will change a decision, not routinely.

    • Morita
    • Very low dose
    • Under a minute
  • Digital intraoral scanning

    A wand traces your teeth and builds them on screen while you watch — no tray of putty to bite into.

    The model goes straight into 3Shape, which is where crowns, aligners and implant plans are designed.

    • 3Shape
    • No putty
    • Same-visit model
  • Bone medication & extractions

    Bisphosphonates and other bone medications change how a socket heals.

    Tell us what you take at the first appointment and we will plan the extraction — and the healing — around it.

    • Medical liaison
    • Socket preservation
    • Staged healing
