Principal Dentist Dr John Joyce has built a team of skilled clinicians and efficient support staff, dedicated to delivering exceptional dental care and life-enhancing cosmetic and restorative dentistry. Although we deliver our services within an ultra-modern setting, using advanced equipment and the very latest techniques, we have managed to retain a wonderfully friendly and welcoming atmosphere - and it's been that way for over 50 years!
Our aim is to continue to offer great dentistry, with added comfort and friendliness, for many years to come. We wish Lois all the best and congratulate her on her selection for the Hygienist undergraduate training course at Southend University.

As well as regularly visiting your dentist, hygiene appointments should also be an essential part of your dental care.
Hygienists are qualified members of the dental team who focus on preventing and treating gum disease by promoting good oral hygiene.
Gum disease causes inflammation of the tissue that surrounds teeth and, if not treated, it can lead to recession of the gums.
This can cause pockets to develop as the gum moves away from the tooth and can eventually lead to loosening of the teeth.
