Dental Implants
Dental implants provide permanent tooth replacement solutions that look and function like natural teeth. Our titanium implant posts integrate with jawbone tissue through osseointegration, offering stable support for crowns, bridges, or dentures. This treatment prevents bone loss associated with missing teeth while restoring full chewing functionality and confidence in social situations.
Teeth Whitening
Our professional whitening treatments effectively remove stains caused by food, drink, and aging. Using hydrogen peroxide gel, we lighten teeth by multiple shades through in-surgery or home treatment options. Customised consultations ensure optimal results while maintaining tooth sensitivity control, providing patients with safer, longer-lasting outcomes compared to over-the-counter products.
Orthodontics
We offer teeth straightening solutions for adults and children using modern orthodontic appliances. Treatment corrects misalignment, overcrowding, and bite issues through metal or aesthetic braces. Properly aligned teeth improve oral hygiene access, reduce wear patterns, and enhance facial aesthetics while addressing functional dental concerns for long-term oral health benefits.
Crowns
Crowns restore damaged or weakened teeth with durable, natural-looking coverings. Available in porcelain, gold, or zirconia materials, these restorations protect compromised teeth while maintaining aesthetic appeal. Our crowns match adjacent teeth colour and shape, providing both structural reinforcement and cosmetic improvement for teeth affected by decay or trauma.
Bridges
Fixed dental bridges replace missing teeth by anchoring artificial teeth to adjacent natural teeth. We offer bonded and Maryland bridge options that restore chewing function and prevent remaining teeth from shifting. This solution maintains facial structure integrity while providing a permanent alternative to removable dentures for single or multiple missing teeth.

Report
I used to come here as a child in the 1960's to be seen by Mr Clive Madgwick...he used to have a wonderful huge tropical fish tank strategically placed on the wall in your eyeline so patients could gaze at the amazing colourful tropical fish while he did whatever he needed to do to your teeth - this was particularly effective with children...Clive Madgwick was not only a brilliant dentist but an accomplished local artist...The Queen has one of his paintings in her private collection...

I've been with the dental surgery for a few years and think it's a well run and organised professional practice. The staff are very friendly and I would highly recommend them to anyone .
