Our philosophy
...............................................................................................................................................

We started the practice in March 1996 with the aim of building a practice for those people who would value our service for the quality it adds to their lives. That quality is the opportunity for you to be as healthy as you choose

Our ultimate aim is to help you achieve a healthy, comfortable mouth, a strong, stable bite and a confident, radiant smile for life.

We believe that Prevention is Better than Cure.

Our dental care is based around a very comprehensive examination and individual treatment planning. Modern dentistry is becoming increasingly sophisticated. Knowledge, skills and technology are developing all the time. Therefore, for you, the patient, understanding what is going on is essential. We use the examination and planning stages to help you learn about your current oral health and whether there is treatment that might be beneficial to you now and/or in the future.

This includes developing preventive and homecare procedures with you;

And, should they be appropriate, advanced restorative procedures - rebuilding the bite following those years of repeatedly larger fillings and/or tooth loss. However, we would only consider these once we are sure that your preventive procedures are satisfactory;

We appreciate the value of a smile and will consider your appearance as part of our treatment planning. Because appearance is personal to each of us, we will use computer images and/or study models to demonstrate potential outcomes to you.

We also have a special interest in TMD (Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction) and orthopaedics;
Ours is a fully private practice offering predominantly fee-for service dentistry.

We offer various options for payment. For those who find it helpful to budget for their dental care, we also offer our own Preventive Care Plans. These are specifically aimed at those patients who attend the practice at the self care level.  

In 2001, we became founder members of the British Dental Association goodpractice scheme. (www.bda-goodpractice.org.uk) Every year, the practice team has a full commitment towards continuing professional development and further training.
