Services
Paediatric Dentistry
Our advanced paediatric service specialises in stress-free dental care for children, including sedation options for anxious patients. We address unique behavioural needs and sensory challenges while promoting lifelong oral health habits. The service includes comprehensive assessments, fluoride treatments, and trauma prevention advice tailored to young patients.
Dental Implants
We offer secure, long-term solutions for missing teeth using dental implants anchored to the jaw. This service eliminates the need for traditional dentures or bridges, providing patients with natural-looking, functional replacements that integrate seamlessly with their existing smile.
Orthodontics
Specialist orthodontic care includes metal braces, clear aligners like Invisalign, and lingual braces for children and adults. Our fast-track service for orthodontic extractions reduces waiting times, ensuring timely treatment to improve dental alignment and bite functionality.
Gum Disease Management
We provide non-surgical and surgical treatments for gum disease, including deep cleaning, gum grafts, and regenerative procedures. Our approach focuses on halting disease progression, preventing tooth loss, and maintaining overall oral health through tailored hygiene plans.
Facial Rejuvenation
Non-surgical facial rejuvenation options include dermal fillers, Botox, and chemical peels administered by our aesthetics team. These treatments address signs of ageing, enhance facial features, and promote skin health while maintaining natural-looking results.

I once thought i would never find a dentist, like my old dentist who retired, when i lived in Essex, but i did, and she's absolutely brilliant, Suzanne is my dentist, and i wouldn't swap her for no one. The staff are all kind and polite, Sue is extremely patient and kind and of course caring. Just had a new crown, and you wouldn't even know i have one, very happy indeed. Thank you all, and thanks again Sue, excellent job. Steve

Having had an amazing detist from plummers before in GY i registered with Caister. I had an apalling experience where i was sat in the chair for hours with no explaination of why and left in a much worse state than I came in! the icing on the cake was that the dentist AND the dental nurse had a conversation of how they needed new glasses and were behind on their spec savers appointments! needless to say I didn't return for the second appointment.
I asked the receptionist how to make a complaint and was told if I felt that strongly about it she would 'have a word!' as a manager of a public service I found it unbelievable. unfortunately Caister plummers did not live up to previous experiences of other plummers services (Great Yarmouth and Wymondham)
