Treatments
What each treatment involves, how long it takes and what it costs — before you sit down.
A full look at teeth, gums, bite and soft tissues, and a written plan with costs.
Professional cleaning above and below the gum line, with technique coaching that makes it last.
Tooth-coloured restorations that remove decay and rebuild the tooth in one appointment.
Treatment that saves a tooth whose nerve has died or become infected.
Rebuilding a badly damaged tooth, or replacing one using the teeth either side.
A titanium root placed in the jaw to carry a single tooth, a bridge or a denture.
Removable, near-invisible trays that straighten teeth over months rather than years.
Custom trays and professional gel that lighten the natural shade of the teeth.
Thin porcelain facings that change the shape, alignment and colour of front teeth.

Concerns
The problems we see most often, what causes them, and what can usually be done.
Damage to the tooth surface that gets worse if it is left, and is straightforward if it is not.
Bleeding, receding gums — the commonest reason adults lose teeth, and largely reversible when caught early.
A gap changes how you bite, how you look and what happens to the teeth either side of it.
Teeth that overlap are harder to clean, wear unevenly, and can be straightened at any age.
A short sharp pain to cold or sweet, which has several different causes and different fixes.
Staining and darkening, some of which lifts with cleaning and some of which does not.
Clicking, aching and worn teeth — often noticed by a partner or a dentist before the patient.
A reason people go years without being seen. It is common, and it is something we plan around.
Patients
Appointments
New and existing patients welcome. Tell us what the problem is and we will book the right length of appointment.
Before you come
A first examination is longer than a routine check-up because we are building a record from scratch.
Unless you are in pain. Otherwise the first visit is for looking, explaining and planning.
Itemised, priced, and yours to take away and think about.
It changes how we book the appointment and how we run it. It is the most useful thing you can tell reception.
Checklist
What to bring
Fees
You get an itemised plan after the examination. Nothing is added during treatment without asking you first.
Larger courses of treatment can be spread monthly. Ask at reception and we will set out what it costs in total.
We can provide the itemised receipts and clinical notes most insurers ask for. Check your own policy for what it covers.
A missed appointment is a slot somebody else could have used. We ask for as much notice as you can give us.
Whether it is a check-up you have put off or something that has started hurting, we will find you a time.
