Facilities In The Practice

Intra-oral camera

The use of our intra-oral camera along with digital X-rays, allows you to gain a greater understanding of your oral health.

Digital radiography

We use the latest in digital X-ray machines, reducing any radiation to minimal levels. The system also allows us immediate viewing of the pictures taken. No waiting for a diagnosis.

Micro-abrasion

During the many treatments that require “bonding” of tooth coloured restorative materials, greater adhesion is created by micro-abrading the tooth surface before placing the bonding chemicals. The system is in essence, a refined dental version of a “sand blaster”. Research suggests that an extra 20% strength is added, giving your restorations more staying power. The technique does not require any anaesthesia and is sensation free.

In chair entertainment

Your choice of music is always available, through the radio or CDs. Bring your own favourite tracks to while away the time and create your own relaxing “in chair” experience.

Relaxing Environment

To calm your concerns, and create a soothing environment, we play relaxing music to create a calm environment for our patient and put their mind at ease. Your hygiene treatment can be carried out with an anaestheic jelly, just dripped onto the gums. Some restorative treatment requires no drilling and no injections – ask if microabrasion is suitable for you.

Dental Patient Information

Health And Safety

We follow all the necessary health and safety guidelines, set out by the General Dental Council (GDC) and the Care Quality Commission (CQC), so that both our staff and patients feel secure in the dental setting.

All instruments are sterilized with the latest in vacuum autoclaves. Wherever possible we use disposable instruments for your health and safety.
There is a handrail at the side of the few steps leading into the practice and team members are always on hand to help if required.
The dental team’s continuous professional development includes annual training in advanced patient support.

After Care Treatment

After a dental extraction or other surgery in the mouth, you will be offered a private area to rest until you feel able to leave the Clinic for home. The nurses will look after your needs and make sure you feel comfortable. All post operative instructions will be explained by the receptionist who’ll also give you a written sheet with the following after care information. We’ll always be able to take a telephone call if you have concerns you wish to discuss.

Do not eat, drink, rinse or spit for 3 hours.
If bleeding should occur, fold a clean tissue into a pad (not cotton wool), place it over the site and bite down on it for 10 minutes. Any trickling of blood may be wiped away with a clean tissue.
Do not do any heavy work or exercise for the rest of the day.
Use a warm salt water mouthwash after meals for 2 days.
To reduce the swelling, do use some ice-packs.
Keep your head up with an extra pillow at night.
Please make sure that you take any medication that has been prescribed for you.
Do brush your teeth as well as you are able. A clean mouth will heal better than a dirty one.

After surgery, some swelling can normally be expected. Do call us if you feel that you have any problems.
