Dental Check-Ups for a Healthy Smile

At The Dental Practice our aim is to help our valued patients enjoy a happy, healthy smile for life. Everything we do is therefore about providing modern, caring and ethical dentistry for the long term benefit of all the family.

With regular visits to the dentist, routine dentistry (in the form of regular dental check-ups, digital xrays and dental hygiene appointments) allows us to help you look after and make the most of your teeth as well as to pick up any dental problems before they worsen. This also means that you can avoid the traditional pattern of fillings and extractions, which can end up being costly, not to mention potentially also end up in the loss of valuable teeth.

Dental Hygiene

Did you know that long term plaque build-up (and subsequent gum disease which happens when the bacteria in plaque attacks our gums below the surface to make them red and inflammed) is one of the most common cause of tooth loss?

That’s why, at The Dental Practice, we recommend dental hygiene appointments at least every six months with one of our friendly and professional dentists. Playing an important part in reducing your oral health problems, your dental hygiene appointment will include the following:

• A gentle yet thorough clean of your teeth to remove the build-up of harmful plaque
• Removal of odour causing bacteria for a fresh breath
• Polish to remove any light stains for a sparkling clean smile
• Soft tissue checks to ensure healthy gums
• Advice on how to effectively brush and floss your teeth

Speciality Services

Home Visits

We value home-bound patients who cannot visit our clinic and can provide personalised visits to private or residential homes.

Anxious and young patients

Our dedicated team has a friendly and caring approach and is also great at helping nervous patients and children by making them feel relaxed.

Dental treatment under general anaesthetic

Our treatments can be carried out under local anaesthesia in the dental chair or general anaesthesia in a private hospital setting.

General anaesthesia is commonly used to facilitate dental treatment in patients with anxiety, challenging behaviour, children or patients with special needs. When performing procedures under general anaesthesia, our dental team is able to perform a thorough oral examination and carry out the necessary treatment.
