About Us
	The Practice The Specialists The Team The Laboratory Testimonials Safety and Technology Relaxation and Comfort

We recognise that for many dentistry provokes a great deal of anxiety and tension. Critical to feeling relaxed is trusting the people you are with, as specialists you know that you can trust our expertise but that is not enough.

It is important to us to take time building a relationship with you in order to really understand what you want, your previous problems and to decide how best to manage your care. Just because a procedure usually takes an hour does not mean it will every time. If you are particularly anxious then certainly more time will be allowed, often starting with minor procedures in order to build your confidence and for us both to find out how best to make the procedure as comfortable as possible.

All dental care can and should be totally painless, if there are any areas you are particularly concerned about then do let us know in advance and we will do everything possible to reassure you and explain how they may be overcome in advance.

For your comfort all surgeries are airconditioned, during long procedures all our chairs have “tempur med” body forming mattresses. There are screens above the dental chairs showing films and documentaries to distract your attention and help time pass.
We are always happy to play your choice of music with an integral CD system in each room.
