New Patient Check Up
Our comprehensive first appointment assesses your complete oral health, including head and neck examination, bite analysis, and oral cancer screening. We evaluate gum health and tooth condition while understanding your specific dental needs. This 30-minute session establishes a baseline for your ongoing care plan.
Root Canal Treatment
This procedure removes infected pulp from inside a tooth, cleaning and sealing the root canals to prevent further infection. We use modern techniques to preserve natural teeth that might otherwise require extraction. Post-treatment crowns are often recommended to protect weakened teeth.
Crowns
Custom-made restorations encase damaged teeth to restore strength, shape, and appearance. We offer various materials including porcelain-fused-to-metal and all-ceramic options. Crowns typically require two visits with temporary protection between appointments.
Veneers
Thin porcelain shells bonded to front teeth surfaces improve colour, shape, and alignment. This cosmetic solution addresses discolouration, chips, and minor spacing issues without orthodontic treatment. We provide shade matching for natural-looking results.
Boutique Whitening
Custom tray-based system delivers professional whitening at home. Includes desensitising protocols and biomin toothpaste for enamel protection. Patients receive detailed instructions for safe, effective colour enhancement with visible results in weeks.

Wow, what a fantastic dentist. I have had major dental problems, even going as far as being sent to Guys hospital, and having to get our MP involved. This practice has sorted my dentures out, spending lots of time and trouble, getting me sorted. I can't thank them enough, especially the patient Stacey.
