Happiness is your dentist
telling you it won't hurt
and then having him
catch his hand in the drill
~Johnny Carson

There will be time to examine your mouth in detail, including any necessary x-rays or photography, and to discuss how you would like us to help you. Often there are different options to discuss and you will be presented with a written quotation of any proposed treatment.
We will be happy to discuss any special requirements that are personal to you at this appointment, such as times of the day that are most convenient for you and any special worries that you may have.
Once treatment is complete we arrange a reminder appointment for you to maintain and monitor your dental health for the future.

The Hygienist & Therapist
The practice hygienist and therapist concentrate on emphasising the importance of prevention of dental disease and maintaining a good looking, healthy and comfortable set of teeth.
Prevention and limitation of the damage caused by dental disease is much better and usually cheaper than treating the effects of the disease once it has become established.
Good gum health is our aim as the gums are the foundation upon which the teeth depend.
£94.00 for 30 minute appointment

Your smile is important. It is one of of the first things that you notice when you meet someone. A whiter, brighter smile is beautiful; it can help you feel better about yourself and make a better impression.
We feel that appearance is fundamental in dentistry, so please feel free to ask Mr Wells about your particular needs.
To help you achieve your perfect smile, we can offer you an extensive range of cosmetic dental procedures.
Your health and dental care are our highest priorities and we will always consider the general health of your teeth before carrying out any cosmetic procedure.
Our range includes: Whitening, Crowns & Bridges

Emphasis is on prevention, to start off life with a mouth free of fillings and to build up confidence in coming to the practise and associate it with fun.
We use a range of badges and toys to welcome your children to the practice.
We also offer preventative treatments such as plastic coatings to prevent decay in back teeth and advice on fluorides to help the teeth resist decay. The majority of children usually need no fillings with the right prevention in our practise.

The incredibly useful Denplan insurance is also included. A brochure can be downloaded at the following link, Brochure Download.
