St. James Dental Practice was originally established in 1969 and is the largest independent provider of NHS dental healthcare in Hampshire. We offer all aspects of NHS dentistry at both our sites in Winchester and are currently one of 97 practices chosen by the Department of Health to pilot a new NHS personalised careplan which we believe will improve the standard of care our patients receive.

Scaling
Report
It is important that calculus is removed as it is full of bacterial toxins which cause inflammation of the gums. If left in situ, calculus will cause the gums to recede from the teeth leading to eventual tooth loss. Most of us at some point will need to have our teeth scaled. Scaling is the dental method used to help smooth the surface of the teeth so that bacteria are less able to adhere to the enamel surface.
Fluoride Application
Report
Fluoride varnish is temporarily adhesive form of fluoride applied to the tooth surface by a dentist, dental hygienist or other health care professional as a type of topical fluoride therapy. Fluoride varnish is not permanent, but is designed to adhere to the tooth surface and keep fluoride in contact with the tooth for several hours.
Fissure Sealants
Report
This is a Preventative procedure where a plastic resin is placed on the chewing surface of molar teeth in patients who are susceptible to dental decay. It helps to prevent dental decay. Firstly the tooth is cleaned and dried and then etched with a diluted acid to provide a key to attach the resin. The tooth is then washed and dried before resin is flowed over its surface and set.
