About the Business

We provide NHS and Private Dental Care to the highest standards. It is our practice philosophy to promote dental health with an emphasis on preventative care. We provide all the treatment necessary to secure and maintain your oral health under NHS Dental Services. You may choose to have some treatments such as Cosmetic Dentistry or Teeth Whitening provided privately. We are happy to discuss all your treatment options so that you have the opportunity to consider the alternatives.

We adopt a teamwork approach to providing your dental health needs. It is our policy for each patient to see one dentist on a continuing basis. However, we will arrange for you to see one of our other dentists, if your dentist is not available. We are a member of The BDA Good Practice Scheme. This confirms that we maintain standards set by our Professional Organisation. Our practice has been approved for Vocational Training for the past seven years.

Composite Fillings

Composite Fillings

Most people have fillings of one sort or another but today, because we are much more conscious of our smile, we can choose a natural looking alternative - the composite or tooth-coloured filling.

A composite resin is a tooth-coloured plastic mixture filled with glass (silicon dioxide) first introduced in the 1960s. Originally only used for front teeth because of their softer nature, modern improvements to their composition make them generically suitable today.

Composite fillings are more difficult to place than silver fillings so may take your dentist 15-20 minutes longer to complete and because they are considered to be a cosmetic treatment, they are not available on the NHS and must be paid for.

The main advantage of composite fillings is their aesthetic appeal. The main disadvantage is their life expectancy. White fillings have always been considered less long lasting than silver amalgam fillings but there are now new materials available with properties comparable to silver amalgam, and these are proving to be very successful. The life expectancy of your composite filling can depend on the depth of cavity and its position in the mouth; your dentist is best positioned to advise you.
