Tooth whitening (read more)
 A simple technique, using gentle whitening gel to remove most stains, reversing the effects of ageing, coffee and tobacco. The gel releases active oxygen into the teeth, where it gently brightens discoloured pigments in dentine and enamel.

Veneers
A thin layer of porcelain/composite made to fit over the front surface of a tooth, rather like a false fingernail. Veneers can improve the colour, shape and position of teeth.

Smoothing facial lines and wrinkles, plumping the skin and lips (read more)
A non-surgical method of smoothing lines and wrinkles in the skin, plumping sunken areas or thin lips and improving contours of the face. A series of injections into the skin or lips using botulinum toxin or Restylane^® fillers can quickly and easily rejuvenate the appearance of the face. The results can be maintained by ‘top-ups’ every 3-12 months dependent upon the procedure. For more detailed information on Restylane^® please click here

Restorative dentistry
This is the basic repair of the mouth using fillings, bridges, crowns, dentures and implants. White fillings are now commonly used for back teeth as well as those at the front of the mouth. Modern materials are much stronger and provide pleasing, natural-looking results.

Crowns (read more)
These are sometimes called ‘caps’ and fit over weak, broken or heavily filled teeth to provide strength and improve the appearance of teeth. They have the shape and contour of natural teeth.

Bridges (read more)
These are used to replace missing teeth. The false tooth/teeth are permanently fixed to existing natural teeth. Like crowns, they are very natural looking and are designed to give a pleasing cosmetic result, as well as restoring good function to the bite.

Implants (read more)
A comfortable alternative to loose dentures and missing teeth. Implants are secure, permanent replacement teeth which look and feel natural. For more detailed information please click on the link, www.implantium.co.uk

Dentures (read more)
Our dentists are able to provide three grades of denture from a standard, natural-looking set to a custom designed, cosmetic choice for ultimate aesthetics.

Endodontics (root fillings)
Commonly known as root canal therapy – a method of saving teeth that previously would have been lost. In this painless procedure, the infected or inflamed pulp of the tooth is removed, but the tooth itself is not.

Periodontics (dental hygiene service)
This is the treatment of gum disease. Healthy teeth need healthy gums and we can provide care and the best advice on how to look after your teeth and gums. We offer treatment for sore, inflamed or bleeding gums and gum recession.

Dental extractions
Usually a last resort unless needed for making space in the mouth to prevent crowding of the teeth. Always provided with the gentlest of care to ensure the least discomfort for this procedure.

Tooth straightening (orthodontics)
We can assess children and adults for this procedure. We provide a referral service to the hospital service or to specialised general dental practitioners. Invisalign^® is available on referral.

For more information or prices on any of the services available, please contact us and we can send you an information pack. Alternatively, we can arrange a free, informal chat with one of our friendly, helpful team or we can book a consultation for you with one of our dentists.
