Services
What we do, in plain words.
Everything a family needs from a dentist, under one roof. Tap a service to see what happens, how long it takes and what to expect afterwards.
Not sure what you need?
Tell us what's going on and we'll suggest the right visit. No jargon, no pressure.
Call (555) 018-6600We check your teeth and gums, clean away the build-up that brushing misses, and finish with a polish. If anything needs attention, we show you on the screen and talk it through. No lectures.
- A gentle clean with one of our hygienists
- X-rays only when they're actually useful
- A short written note of anything to keep an eye on
When a small part of a tooth has a cavity, we clean it out and fill it with a tooth-colored material shaded to match. Most fillings take under an hour, and we numb the area first so you feel pressure rather than pain.
- Matched to the shade of your own teeth
- Numbing gel before any injection
- Back to your normal day straight afterwards
A crown covers a tooth that is cracked, worn down or heavily filled, so you can bite and chew comfortably again. At the first visit we shape the tooth and fit a temporary cap; about two weeks later we fit your permanent crown.
- A written estimate before we start
- Porcelain shaded to look like your own tooth
- A temporary crown between the two visits
We check first that whitening suits your teeth, then offer either custom-fitted trays to use at home over two weeks, or a single session in the chair. Results vary from person to person, and we'll be straight with you about what to expect.
- A quick check that your teeth and gums are ready
- Trays made to fit your smile, yours to keep
- Advice on keeping the shade for longer
We see children from their first birthday. Early visits are short and playful: counting teeth, a ride up and down in the chair, and a sticker on the way out. It all adds up to a child who isn't afraid of the dentist.
- Sealants and fluoride varnish when they help
- After-school appointments kept for families
- A parent in the room at every visit, if you like
If you're in pain, have chipped or knocked out a tooth, or lost a filling or crown, call us as early in the day as you can. We keep time free every weekday for urgent visits, for new and existing patients alike.
- Same-day visits on weekdays whenever we can
- Pain relief first, then a plan you agree to
- Out of hours, our voicemail gives the on-call number

Lots of our patients feel the same. Let us know when you book and we'll leave extra time, explain each step before we do it, and agree a simple hand signal so you can pause whenever you need to.
Your insurance card if you have one, a photo ID, and any questions you'd like to ask. Arrive about ten minutes early so we can say hello without rushing.
Call (555) 018-6600 as early in the day as you can. We keep time free every weekday for urgent visits. Outside our hours, the voicemail message gives the number of the dentist on call.
