All of us at the practice realize that each patient has their own expectations and aspirations, fears and concerns - and that these, together with modern dental techniques determine the most appropriate treatment. You'll find that we spend considerable time making sure you know exactly what treatment we recommend, why we feel it is necessary, how long it will take, how much it will cost, and most importantly, the benefits you will feel and notice when it is completed. Adult teeth can be saved. But it requires careful monitoring of both tooth decay and gum disease .With early remedial action there is no reason why most of us cannot keep our teeth for the rest of our lives - and avoid the anxiety of major treatment.

And those of us who may have had a bad childhood experience need not worry - the modern. techniques in anaesthesia and sedation we use are both safe and comfortable. Forty years ago losing all our natural teeth was normal.

Dentures were very common - so much so that in many parts of the country a set were a present for a 21st birthday ! Today it is no longer necessary to suffer the loss of self confidence and the dietary restriction often associated with dentures - it is possible to eat an apple in public without embarrassment.
