We pride ourselves on providing the very best quality care for your teeth and your smile. Our friendly team will do everything possible to make you feel comfortable and in control, as we understand a visit to the dentist can sometimes feel a little stressful. The practice is located in Braintree town centre, near to several public car parks with access for disabled parking on the forecourt.

A full assessment of your mouth will include an examination of the teeth, your tongue and cheeks, oral cancer screening, periodontal (gum health) screening, dietary advice and oral hygiene instruction. Clinical photographs are taken when necessary to help us explain what's going on in your mouth. X-rays will be taken at regular intervals for the early detection of potential problems.

Dental hygienists are specially trained to work as part of the dental team, to give care to patients. They play an important part in dental health care and are mainly concerned with preventive dental health and treating gum disease - showing you correct home care and helping to keep your teeth and gums healthy.

Crowns and fixed bridges can be made from a variety of materials including, acrylic, ceramic or metal alloys. A combination of metal and ceramic is also available to maximise strength and simulate the appearance of natural teeth. A crown is a laboratory custom-made "cap" that helps improve the appearance and function of teeth.
