Our hygienist plays an important role in this practice. Her role is fundamental in helping to ensure that you have healthy gums and fresh breath.
Recent research has indicated that there are significant health benefits to maintaining regular dental care. As well as gently removing any hard deposits that have built up on your teeth our hygienist will help to keep plaque and tartar to a minimum. She is able to make a full assessment of your gum condition and bone levels. This will enable her to help you achieve and maintain healthy gums and teeth.

You can sometimes have inlays or onlays to repair damaged teeth. They are made with a natural tooth coloured material and are stronger and can last longer than fillings. They are particularly suitable for the chewing surfaces of back teeth or for larger repairs to a front tooth where it can be more difficult to make a white filling look natural.
A crown may be recommended to cover a broken or damaged tooth or to improve the appearance of a misshapen or discoloured tooth. A crown is made with porcelain and looks and feels exactly the same as a natural tooth.
