Services
Dental Check-Ups
Regular dental check-ups are essential for maintaining oral health and preventing issues. Our dentists conduct thorough examinations, including x-rays when necessary, to assess your teeth, gums, and mouth. We provide personalized advice on oral hygiene and create treatment plans tailored to your needs. These appointments also allow us to detect early signs of decay, gum disease, or other conditions, ensuring timely intervention and long-term dental wellness.
Hygiene Services
Our hygiene services focus on preventing gum disease and maintaining healthy teeth. Using hand instruments and polishing techniques, our hygienists remove plaque and tartar buildup while addressing staining. Patients receive guidance on proper brushing, flossing, and dietary habits to support oral health. These sessions are particularly beneficial for those with sensitive teeth, bad breath concerns, or prosthetic dental work, promoting both aesthetic and functional improvements through preventive care.
Cosmetic Dentistry
We offer cosmetic treatments to improve the appearance of your smile, including teeth whitening, veneers, and replacement of old fillings or crowns. Our team uses natural-looking materials like ceramic and composite to restore damaged or discoloured teeth. These procedures are designed to enhance confidence while maintaining functionality, with options available both under NHS coverage and as private treatments for patients seeking aesthetic improvements beyond standard dental care.
Emergency Care
Dental emergencies require prompt attention to alleviate pain and prevent complications. We prioritize same-day appointments for urgent cases such as severe toothaches, broken teeth, or lost fillings. Our team provides immediate assessments and necessary treatments, including temporary restorations or pain management, ensuring patients receive timely relief and a clear plan for follow-up care during regular business hours.
Dental Implants
Implant treatment offers a permanent solution for missing teeth, combining durability with natural aesthetics. We provide consultations with specialist Dr. Oliver Quinn, who assesses suitability and creates customized plans using 3M ESPE Lava Zirconia technology. The process involves placing titanium posts into the jawbone, followed by attaching crowns or bridges. Patients benefit from improved chewing function, facial structure preservation, and long-lasting results that mimic natural teeth in both feel and appearance.

Absolutely terrible service. On two separate occasions I have been in need of emergency treatment and they have told me they do not do emergency care ,despite the fact I am registered with them. The receptionist always sounds bored and like she can not be bothered.

I am with the Dental Hygiene Centre for the last 10 years. Dr Rahim Jetha is the most gentle, kind and knowledgeable dentist Ive ever had and I am totally at ease with him. He has successfully managed to dissipate my decades long Dental treatment Phobia. The same applies to the lovely dental hygienist Ms Olesen. I see them both twice a year, my teeth are in good condition and my fear has gone! Highly recommended if you are looking for a professional and caring dentist providing high quality dental care.

I had one of my tooth extracted recently at the Dental Hygiene Centre. The dentist Sophie and the nurse really made me comfortable. Sophie explained what I would expect during the procedure including all the potential risks so I was fully informed. The extraction was performed professionally and my tooth was extracted in no time, came out completely intact, guess it could be considered a text book extraction. Even after the numbness went away I did not feel much pain and whatever pain I had was easily controlled with paracetamol. When I woke up the following day I did not experience any further
