Preventative Dentistry

A preventative mindset goes an exceedingly long way when it comes to your teeth.

Attending routine dentist and hygienist check-ups will leave you with a healthy set of teeth you can feel proud of. We will make sure developing problems are quickly identified, and that a bespoke plan is established to stop these from reoccurring in the future.

Caring for your smile and supporting your dental wellbeing

Prevention and your teeth go hand-in-hand.

Hand-crafted crowns, bridges and dentures to keep your smile functional
The restorations we make for your smile are made with love, and made to last. The better quality the type of restoration you receive, the better chance it has of serving you every day as you go about your life.

Our restorations are hand-crafted by an experienced technician, and only the most durable materials are used. Well-made restorations are an essential building block that forms part of the philosophy of prevention.

We believe in education and empowerment

When it comes to prevention, knowledge is power. We want our patients to feel like they’ve learned something new about how to better manage their oral health when they leave the practice, with a view to maintaining the long-term health of their natural teeth, and indeed any restorations they might have had placed.

You will find our clinical team to be great communicators who are enthusiastic about helping you to improve the aspects of your oral health routine that might be causing problems with your mouth. We can offer tailored dietary advice, and preventative treatments like sealants, and fluoride varnishes. Restorative procedures like fillings and onlays and inlays can also lessen the likelihood of more serious intervention in the future.

Ultimately, we want to make sure the need for dental treatment remains low, whatever stage of life you are at.

FAQs

Will coming to routine dentist and hygienist appointments every year benefit me?

Absolutely. Dental problems can develop quickly, particularly if you have high risk factors to problems like gum disease, decay and mouth cancer. During your routine appointments, we use incredibly sophisticated concave mirrored glasses to see every part of your mouth. We will be able to pick up on the smallest of issues, and in catching these early, we can prevent problems from worsening. Remember, many dental problems remain symptomless, until dental pain becomes very suddenly severe.

Do I need to come in if I have healthy teeth?

Even if you feel like your teeth look and feel great, check-ups are an essential foundation for making sure this remains the case. As teeth do not have any self-restorative qualities like many other parts of the body, a preventative mindset is crucial.

What if I have an unhealthy mouth?

We’re here to help no, no matter how minor or severe your dental problems happen to be. Our practice is a judgment-free environment, and a safe space for all our patients to speak to us, and receive the treatment they deserve.

If it’s been a while since your last dentist visit, please be reassured that we will do everything we can to make you feel comfortable. Our aim is to create a plan to stabilise your dental health and to adopt a multi-disciplinary approach wherever necessary.
