For most patients we recommend a check-up and hygiene appointment every six months. Some people, however, need to come more often depending on the state of their oral health.

Fluoride treatments help strengthen enamel and prevent decay. They matter most for children, but adults can benefit too — particularly anyone at higher risk of caries.

They are most commonly used for children, but sealants can also help adults, especially those prone to decay or with deep fissures in their teeth.

To keep your mouth in good health, stick to these essentials: brush twice a day for two minutes with a fluoride toothpaste and a soft brush. Floss once a day to clean between the teeth, where a brush cannot reach. Consider rinsing with an antimicrobial mouthwash after brushing and flossing. Eat a healthy diet low in sugar and acidic foods, and drink plenty of water to wash away food debris. Come in regularly for check-ups and hygiene appointments, replace your toothbrush every few months, and avoid smoking. These habits will help you avoid decay, gum disease and other oral health problems, and support your general wellbeing.

The early signs of gum disease are red, swollen or bleeding gums. Prevention comes down to regular brushing, flossing between the teeth and professional hygiene appointments.

A crown covers a single damaged tooth, while a bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring to the teeth on either side.

Properly cared for, dental implants can last a lifetime, although the typical service life is 10–30 years. Several factors determine how long an implant lasts, including oral hygiene habits, the quality of the implant and its placement, and the patient's general health and lifestyle. While the implant itself may last for decades, the crown on top usually needs replacing every 10–15 years through normal wear. Medical conditions such as diabetes, cancer and autoimmune disease can shorten an implant's life, and smoking, alcohol and diet also affect how well implants succeed.

Not always. It depends on the extent of the damage and on whether the pulp inside the tooth is affected. Your dentist can assess it and recommend the best treatment.

Tooth-coloured fillings look better, bond more closely to the tooth structure and contain no mercury.

Dentures generally need relining every one to two years, though this varies with the patient's gum tissue and bone structure. Relining can extend the life of a denture by refitting its base with fresh material to match the changes that come with ageing and jawbone resorption. Consider a reline if your dentures become uncomfortable, loose or no longer sit properly.

We offer several options, including professional whitening, porcelain veneers and clear aligners.

Results can last anywhere from a few months to a few years, depending on oral hygiene and lifestyle factors.

Veneers are considered a long-term solution and typically last 10–15 years with proper care.

Yes — treatments such as veneers or aesthetic bonding can often close small gaps without orthodontic treatment.

In-clinic whitening gives faster results in a single appointment, while home whitening with trays lightens the teeth gradually over a longer period.

Yes — we see patients with private health insurance. It is a convenient way to get comprehensive dental care while reducing or entirely avoiding out-of-pocket costs.

Treatment is billed directly to your insurer, which makes settlement quick and smooth immediately after your appointment, with no extra forms or claims to fill in. The cost of the treatment is deducted from your cover automatically and there is nothing further for you to do. We handle all the paperwork.

You may pay only part of the cost, or nothing at all, if your insurer covers the treatment under the terms of your policy.

Yes — we strongly recommend checking which dental treatments your policy covers before your appointment. Some policies carry limits or exclusions, for example on cosmetic treatment, whitening or implants.

If you have further questions about paying through health insurance, do ask our reception team — they will give you everything you need to know about settling through your insurer, or suggest another convenient way to pay.
