Our GDC-registered hygienists offer preventative care including scale and polish treatments. Specialised periodontal therapies address gum disease while educating patients on effective home care routines. Most hygiene services are available through NHS funding.
Dental Restorations
We offer NHS and private restorative solutions including fillings, crowns, bridges, and veneers. Tooth-coloured composite fillings start from 60 while custom crowns require individual consultations. All treatments use modern materials for natural-looking results.
