Over time your teeth can require restorative treatment. With the appropriate treatment plan, significant decay, trauma, discolouration, injury and aesthetic improvement is achievable.
On Thursday 28 May, the Government announced that dental practices could open for face to face appointments from Monday 8 June, provided the appropriate PPE (personal protective equipment), procedures and training are in place.
PREPARING FOR REOPENING
We have been working hard behind the scenes to plan for the reopening of the practice, refining robust procedures to ensure our team and our patients are as protected as possible. We appreciate some of you are anxious to be seen as soon as possible, however we kindly ask you to bear with us and understand that we cannot open until we are fully prepared.
PRIORITISING PATIENTS IN PAIN
You will appreciate there are significant changes in the numbers of patients who can be seen and types of appointments that can be undertaken, particularly in these early days. Therefore we will need to prioritise patients who have a dental emergency and are in pain and have already been triaged by Dr Bolton. We have a significant number of patients in need whom we will see as soon as we are able.

Thank you for your ongoing understanding and support.
With kind regards,

Over time your teeth can require restorative treatment. With the appropriate treatment plan, significant decay, trauma, discolouration, injury and aesthetic improvement is achievable.
The crown of the tooth is the part which is visible in your mouth. We can provide you with new porcelain covers for damaged teeth or aesthetic reasons, to dramatically improve the look of your smile.
Each crown is carefully made, specifically for you, to look natural and blend with your surrounding teeth.
Crowns have a number of benefits:
Our talented team has many years’ experience of guiding patients through the process of designing and fitting perfectly natural looking crowns to blend in with your existing teeth.
Root canal treatment is often the most feared dental treatment. However, the treatment is often a tooth-saver and can mean the retention of your natural teeth, or the instant relief from acute dental pain due to infection.
Your teeth are held into your jaw by their roots. Front teeth normally have one root, but the bigger teeth further back have more. At the core of the tooth is a soft mass of tissue called the pulp. The pulp may become inflamed or may die if there is significant decay in a tooth, if there is a large restoration (filling or crown) or if the tooth has been subjected to trauma. Decay or injury can damage the pulp, which can lead to an abscess and severe toothache.
Root canal treatment (also known as endodontics) is a great way of preserving teeth by removing damaged or dead pulp and filling the space at the centre of the tooth. This may take a couple of appointments, however the happy end result is that root fillings have a fantastic success rate and can last many years.
'Very friendly and professional almost made having a filling a pleasure.'
