Everyday dental health

Check-ups & dental health

NHS

A thorough look at your teeth, gums and mouth, with the time to talk through anything you've noticed. We'd rather catch a small problem early than meet a big one later — and we'll always explain what we can see before suggesting anything.

Gum care

NHS

Healthy gums are the foundation for everything else. We treat bleeding, soreness and gum disease, and show you simple ways to keep things settled at home between visits — no lectures, just what works.

Repair & restore

Fillings

NHS

When a tooth needs repairing, we clean away the decay and rebuild it so it's comfortable and strong again. We'll talk you through your options and make sure you're settled and numb before we start.

Root canal treatment

Root canal treatment relieves the pain of an infected tooth and lets us save it rather than remove it. It has a fearsome reputation it doesn't deserve — with modern techniques and unhurried care, most people find it far easier than they expected.

Crowns

A crown covers and protects a tooth that's been heavily filled, cracked or worn down, restoring its shape and bite. We take care to match the colour so it sits quietly alongside your own teeth.

Fixed bridges

A bridge fills the gap left by a missing tooth by anchoring to the teeth on either side — fixed in place, so there's nothing to take out. It restores your bite and keeps the neighbouring teeth from drifting.

Dental implants

Implants replace the root of a missing tooth, giving a stable foundation for a natural-looking replacement that functions like your own. We'll assess whether they're right for you and explain the steps honestly before you commit to anything.

Refresh your smile

Tooth whitening

Professionally supervised whitening lifts everyday staining and freshens a tired-looking smile — done safely, at a pace that suits your teeth. A small change that tends to make a big difference to how people feel.

Veneers

Thin, custom-made facings that improve the colour, shape or alignment of the teeth that show when you smile. We plan them carefully with you so the result still looks like you — only a little more at ease.

Cosmetic and most restorative treatments are provided privately. NHS availability depends on your registration — see our new patients and fees pages, or just ask.
