After hitting the Empire bar, we waited for the curtains to go up for the “Never Forget” performance.  Before the final curtains came down a good time was being had by all with all our favourite original Take That songs giving us all a good excuse to dance in the aisles.

The drinks and dancing went on late into the night, (and early into Sunday!) for most, leaving just one day of recovery before we were back working hard!

Thanks to Ian & Sal for letting us into their home, and to Liam & Ian for a great practice Christmas celebration!

1. See your hygienist for professional cleaning at the recommended time intercal (usually every 3-6mths)
2. If drinks have a high stain potential, use a straw
3. Remember to brush shortly after you have foods or drinks that are highly staining. If you can’t, try to rinse with lots of water.
4. Avoid abrasive toothpastes which may wear the enamel, exposing more of the darker substructure in your tooth (the dentine)
5. Don’t smoke!

Finally, use your home whitening kit to give you a little boost occasionally!

Our practice is especially familiar of the fearful patient. Making your experience with us a truly calm and comfortable one is our priority. We understand that each patient’s experiences, both past and present are truly unique. A patient manner and gentle touch can be expected by all members of our team. In addition, we offer music CDs, anxiety medication and sedation dentistry to help our patients get the care they want and need. Why not come and visit us, see the practice, meet some of the team and enjoy a coffee? - There’s really no need to venture into see the dentist until you’re feeling more at home here!

A cap or crown - they’re the same thing and simply refer to complete coverage of the tooth. Caps/crowns are generally necessary when teeth have gotten weak from previous large fillings to protect them from fracturing or teeth that have fractured and now they need support. Crowns are also placed on top of implants or on teeth that have had root canal treatment.

Your wish is our command! There are people like yourself who are quite happy with how their dentures have been but feel they are just getting a little old and worn. In this situation we can complete what we call a “copy-tech”. This means taking some impressions of the dentures themselves so as the dental lab can make new ones based on the same features as the old. The teeth can be new, but the same size, shape and colour. It can be our secret and the grandchildren will never know!

Throughout treatment we arrange hygienest visits and once you have finished we still insist you attend regularly to maintain your hygiene and the health of your mouth. The hygienest will go through intructions with you on how best to clean, particularly round implants/bridgework where methods might be slightly new to you.

There are many things additonal to your usual brushing. We may suggest a particualar toothpaste and/or mouthrinse. Cleaning interporximally (inbetween the teeth) may need floss, superfloss and/or tepe brushes. Your hygienist will be able to advise what you need and show you exactly how.

Of course! We can do whats called internal bleaching – which is exactly what it sounds like – we put the bleach inside the tooth rather than normal whitening on the outside surface. Plus there’s always veneers and crowns that can make things look more like you want them to.

Yes! With implants, bridges and even dentures there’s always something we can do. Replacing missing teeth is something we do everyday for many patients. We need to have a thorough consultation with you so we can determine exactly what the right solution is for you personally. One size doesn’t fit all! But all our solutions combine making things look good with functionally getting things right.
