We are working hard to source protective equipment and put measures in place to maintain social distancing. We will initially be opening for morning appointments only and will be prioritising patients based upon their needs. There may be times when we cannot offer all our treatment options that were available pre-Lockdown. However, as soon as normal practice can resume, we will be keen to offer all of our services.
It will likely be some time before dental services return to what you previously experienced as normal. Rest assured our dental teams will be doing everything we can to ensure you receive the treatment you require in the safest way. You will probably be asked to use hand sanitiser or to wash your hands when you arrive (and again before you leave).
You will also find that waiting rooms might look a little different with two metre markers in place. You will also notice that the dental team may be wearing different protective equipment to what you are used to seeing. A distance of at least two metres must be observed if another patient is present in the dental practice.

It is predominantly made up of bacteria which feed off of the sugars which we eat and drink.
The bacteria produce acid as a waste product which then attacks our teeth by dissolving the minerals in the tooth surface.
Tooth decay results, when this occurs too frequently.
Very fine hand scalers in different shapes and sizes are used to reach different parts of the teeth.
An ultrasonic scaler with a vibrating tip and fine water jet is also used to clean above and below the gumline.
If you have active gum disease you may require deeper cleaning around the roots of the teeth and Root Planing.

A dental filling replaces part of a tooth which has been lost because of decay or accidental damage.
We will normally numb the area around the tooth, although some small fillings may not need an anaesthetic.
We will remove any decay, together with any old dental filling material, using a small high speed drill.
The tooth is then washed and dried and the surface is prepared/etched with a weak acid to create a good sticking surface.

The crown of a tooth is the visible part seen in your mouth.
An artificial crown completely covers a weak tooth above the gum line and protects it.
They are made of modern, aesthetic, ceramic materials or precious metal, or a combination.
Dental crowns are used for cosmetic purposes to improve appearance of heavily restored teeth, functionally when a tooth has fractured, or is heavily restored and weakened by root canal treatment.
Preparatory time depends on how damaged the tooth is and whether it has to be built up with a filling first.

A dental bridge fixes a replacement tooth or teeth to existing natural teeth on either side of the gap.
Initially we usually take impressions of your mouth, for our laboratory technician to make exact plaster models of your upper and lower teeth and gums to show how your teeth bite together.
The teeth that will support the bridge are then prepared to take the fixings and ensure the bridge is not too bulky.
Another impression is taken of the prepared teeth with the gap and the technician will use this to fabricate the permanent bridge.
