Services
Periodontal Treatment
Specialist periodontal treatment addresses gum disease through advanced techniques performed by our GDC-registered periodontal specialist. This service includes comprehensive assessments, non-surgical and surgical interventions, and ongoing maintenance plans. Patients benefit from improved oral health, reduced risk of tooth loss, and tailored advice for managing gum conditions at home.
Root Canal Treatment
Enhanced root canal services utilise specialist expertise from a dentist with a master's degree in endodontic practice. The procedure involves removing infected pulp, cleaning root canals, and sealing teeth to prevent reinfection. Patients receive detailed pre-treatment explanations and post-operative care guidance to ensure successful recovery and tooth preservation.
General Dental Care
Comprehensive general dental services include examinations, fillings, crowns, and preventive care for all ages. Our approach focuses on early detection of issues and minimally invasive treatments to maintain natural teeth. Regular check-ups and hygiene appointments help patients achieve optimal oral health through consistent professional care.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic treatments such as tooth whitening and restorative procedures improve dental aesthetics while maintaining functionality. Patients receive personalised consultations to address discolouration, chips, or gaps, achieving natural-looking results that boost confidence and oral health simultaneously.
Dentures
Custom-made dentures restore missing teeth with precision-fitting prosthetics designed for comfort and functionality. The process includes detailed impressions, bite analysis, and adjustments to ensure proper fit. Patients experience improved chewing ability, speech clarity, and facial structure support through high-quality materials.

My husband Mark and I have been with Charminster House Dental Practice for many years. I have recently seen the periodontist Saffina for an assessment of my gums and subsequently this was followed by a course of appropriate treatment. This was the first time I had met Saffina and I felt immediately at ease with her as she was so warm, welcoming and reassuring. On each of my visits everything was carefully explained and I was treated with the utmost care and professionalism. Thank you so much.

I have been on a journey with Saffina for well over a year after years of neglect, partly down to me but also due to bad advice and poor level of care from another local practice. I have had treatment with Saffina that I never ever would have considered myself brave enough to endure. With Saffina's help, compassion, patience and capabilities I have reached the end of my journey and results have been great! I cannot thank Saffina enough for her "hand holding" approach - she has been with me every step of the way, encouraging, supporting and more importantly understanding. Thanks Saffina - you are

Received the best treatment at Charminster House. My treatment involved dealing with different specialists in the practice and prior to attending my first appointment I was nervous and stressed. Everybody in the practice treated me with such care and so professionally I cannot recommend them highly enough. They have resolved my problem and got me back to good dental care and I cannot thank them enough.
