White Fillings
For an unblemished smile
When we repair teeth affected by decay, we don’t use fillings that contain mercury – an often controversial metal used in traditional amalgam fillings. Instead, they are made from composite resin, which matches your natural teeth and provides an unnoticeable repair.
This hard-wearing material bonds with the tooth to support the remaining structure and prevent further damage.
The advantages
- Better looking than unsightly metal fillings
- Durable
- Less of the tooth structure needs removing prior to placement
Root Canal
To preserve precious teeth.
Root canal treatment can remove infected pulp from inside the tooth to prevent the infection from spreading and possibly leading to tooth loss.
Once we have removed the affected pulp with tiny instruments, we seal the tooth so its function is restored and it is protected from further problems.
The advantages
- Can help save a tooth
- Prevents the infection affecting other areas
- Can relieve pain
- Less expensive than having a replacement tooth

Oral Health Review
For happy, healthy teeth
It is part of our ethos to focus firmly on preventive care to stop dental problems from occurring or getting any worse. One of the chief ways we do this is by seeing you regularly for routine oral health examinations. These essential appointments allow us to keep a close eye on your mouth, regularly checking for any issues such as signs of decay, enamel erosion, gum disease and oral cancer.
New patients
If you are a new patient, your appointment may take a little longer as your dentist will take some extra time thoroughly examining your teeth, gums and soft tissues, and they may perform x-rays. You will also need to complete a medical history form and routine paperwork. Following your initial appointment, we will let you know how often you will need to make visits to the dentist and hygienist.
You also have the option of choosing a no obligation FREE consultation which will allow you to meet the dentist and ask any questions before you join us.
The advantages
- Can help you avoid the need for more costly, involved treatment.
- Provides an opportunity for you to let us know if you are having any problems.
- We can offer advice on how to improve your oral hygiene routine.
- We can identify what type of treatment will help if you are having problems.
