Treatments
Four kinds of work
General dentistry, cosmetic work, implants and orthodontics. Every one of them starts with the same scan and the same written quote.
Not sure where to start?
Three questions, one recommendation
Answer three questions and we will tell you which treatment fits and what to ask us about. Nothing is sent anywhere and we do not ask for your details.

What brought you here?
Treatment 1 of 4
General dentistry
Six-monthly examinations, scaling and polishing, fillings, and root canal treatment when a tooth needs saving. This is the least glamorous part of dentistry and the part that decides whether you ever need the rest of it.
Which of these a tooth needs is established at the examination, not in advance.
- Examination and digital scan
- Scaling and polishing
- Fillings and bonding
- Root canal treatment
- Gum disease treatment
Treatment 2 of 4
Cosmetic dentistry
Whitening for colour, composite bonding for small chips and gaps, porcelain veneers where the tooth surface needs rebuilding, and laser gum contouring where the gum line is the problem rather than the teeth. We plan it on a scan of your own mouth, so you see the proposed result before agreeing to it.
Whitening, bonding and veneers each depend on the condition of the enamel and the gums. Suitability is confirmed at the examination.
- In-practice whitening
- Composite bonding
- Porcelain veneers
- Laser gum contouring
Treatment 3 of 4
Dental implants
An implant replaces the root of a missing tooth with a titanium post, and a crown goes on top. Single gaps, several teeth on a bridge, or a full arch. Where there is not enough bone to hold a post we graft first — that adds months to the timeline, which is why you hear about it at the planning stage rather than partway through.
An implant needs enough healthy bone to hold it. Whether that is the case, and whether grafting is needed first, is established at the planning stage.
- Single-tooth implants
- Implant-supported bridges
- Full-arch restoration
- Bone grafting and sinus lift
Treatment 4 of 4
Orthodontics
Clear aligners for the cases that suit them, ceramic braces for the cases that do not. Adults are most of this work now. We will tell you which of the two gives the better result for your teeth, including when the answer is the more visible one.
Not every case suits aligners. Which appliance is appropriate for your teeth is established at the examination.
- Clear aligners
- Ceramic braces
- Retainers and follow-up
