We’re here to support your lifelong oral health through thoughtful, consistent treatment and gentle prevention. Whether you're attending a routine check-up or seeking care for a specific concern, we take the time to understand your needs, listen to your concerns and work together to plan the best path forward.

Because your oral health is deeply connected to your overall wellbeing, we don’t just treat teeth — we care for you as a whole. With a calming environment and a focus on communication, we want every visit to feel reassuring, informative and worthwhile.

Preventive-led care, built around you

 

​We believe the best dentistry happens when we work together — dentist, hygienist and patient — to fully understand what’s going on in your mouth. That’s why we take a co-discovery approach to general care, using digital scans, intraoral cameras and clear visual tools to share what we see. From tooth-by-tooth assessments to long-term treatment plans, you’ll always be part of the conversation.


​Our general dental services cover everything from regular examinations and fillings to more complex restorative work. We always recommend a preventive-first mindset, which is why regular check-ups are so valuable — they help us catch concerns early, minimise the need for future treatment and keep your smile as healthy as possible.​

How often should I come in for a dental check-up?

Most patients benefit from seeing the dentist every 6–12 months, depending on their individual needs. We’ll guide you on the best interval for you following your first assessment.

What is a tooth-by-tooth exam and why is it important?

Our Complete Tooth-by-Tooth Exam is a detailed assessment that allows us to check each tooth for signs of wear, damage or disease. It’s ideal for patients who want to take an active role in their oral wellness.

Can I book an appointment if I haven’t been to the dentist in years?

Absolutely — and you’ll be met with kindness, not judgement. We understand that dental care isn’t always easy to prioritise, and we’re here to help you feel safe, supported and in control of your care moving forward.

Will I be involved in decisions about my treatment?

Yes. We practice co-diagnosis, meaning we work collaboratively with you to identify any concerns and agree on the best treatment plan together.

Do you offer check-ups for children as well?

Yes, we warmly welcome children and take extra care to make their visits calm, positive and educational. We believe building trust early sets the foundation for a lifetime of good oral health habits.

Intra-oral Radiographs (X-rays)
£12.00

Radiographic information is vital for achieving excellence in diagnosis and patient care, allowing us to catch clinically significant diseases before they are overlooked. Our responsibility is to safeguard patients from unnecessary radiation exposure and associated risks during dental treatment. Therefore, we recommend dental X-rays only when clinically justified, ensuring each patient receives the diagnostic benefit they deserve.

***For all new patients, and where clinically necessary, the cost of intra-oral X-rays is included in their smile check-ups***
