We realise that many people have had bad experiences in the past and that dental work can be there biggest fear so we use many techniques to help you. Now, many of my patients sleep through their treatment they are so relaxed.
By using Nitrous oxide or happy gas you can safely drift into another world and actually enjoy your dental experience. It relieves pain, shortens time and gives a feeling of euphoria all why your dental work is safely performed. For those who just don’t want to know about their procedure at all we also offer sleep dentistry and general anaesthetics.

This is a common concern we hear from new patients. Most have put off doing something about their smile for fear of going to the dentist or a bad past experience.

Showing a lot of gum when you smile can worry some people. There are ways of solving this problem. A full smile analysis is very important as incorrect movement/alteration of the teeth can lead to other issues.
In your smile assessment we look at the following:
• size and shape of your teeth
• the bony support for the teeth
• the way your teeth come together
• the health and strength of the gum surrounding the teeth
• the lip and mouth soft tissue
There can be many solutions including Invisalign, gum surgery, anti-wrinkle applications, porcelain veneers or crowns.

There are numerous options for improving your smile each depends on the result you expect, your needs and wants as well as budget. Some solutions include:
Sometimes dental work needs to be updated. You may have some root surfaces exposed, ugly metal margins, some chipping and/or breakages. This becomes a great time to get a whole new look.
You may want to go whiter or include some other teeth to give you a complete makeover. There have been great advances in implant and cosmetic dentistry including materials and techniques that can make the transition to a perfect smile seamless.
Even orthodontics have come a long way, so if over the years your teeth have moved a little bit or a lot there is a solution without having full fixed metal bands and braces. Invisalign can be used to invisibly return your smile and even improve on past orthodontic results.
There are many successful ways of removing gaps between teeth. What is important is that a correct diagnosis of the size, shape and position of your teeth is made so that the end result is a stunning smile not just filled spaces.
At my free smile assessment we talk about what would make your smile perfect and what it is exactly that concerns you. Everyone is different and not everyone wants the same things. To solve spaces in between teeth we can use
• Invisalign clear braces
• fixed braces
• crowns or porcelain veneers
• composite resin

There is something about strong, white teeth that suggest optimal health. And it is a look that is quite easy to achieved. We have many techniques from cleaning and bleaching, right through to beautiful porcelain veneers to give you a brighter, whiter smile.
Real Solutions:
It all starts with clean teeth; my hygienist or I will first make sure your teeth and gums are in optimum condition. If your teeth are yellow or dark we can offer you three types of bleaching techniques.
• Home bleaching,
• Zoom in-surgery bleaching
• Natural in-surgery bleaching.
All techniques work well and can make your teeth up to 8 shades lighter! If your teeth do have large fillings or are not the correct shape, we can improve colour and form with porcelain veneers.
You no longer have to put up with unattractive spaces or removable plates to fill the spaces and help you chew. There are options now which mean you’ll never have to worry about spaces again.
The two major ways that we restore missing teeth is with a dental bridge or implant. Both options are non-removable.
• The dental implant is stand alone and is like getting a new root and new tooth on top; very successful, aesthetic and long lasting.
• A fixed bridge uses the two teeth on either side to support the new tooth which is fixed between them. Sometimes spaces can be closed with Invisalign or fixed orthodontics.
There are many options available and we will help you understand what is the best option for you.

Patients often come to my practice embarrassed about their smile or just won’t smile at all. This can have a profound effect on how other people see them and in turn this can affect how they relate to the world around them.
Being a general practitioner with skills in a whole range of dental techniques, I can give a variety of options that can all be done at the one place with the one dentist. This makes appointments more time efficient and will cut down on costs. I spend most of my working day solving and creating the solutions to a beautiful smile. It is what I love and do best. I have extremely high standards for my work, myself and my staff and we love watching the change in our person when they learn to smile again. Some solutions include:
