“Had my veneers finalised at the practice, and I am thrilled with the results. The expert, caring hands of dentist George made the whole procedure from the initial consultation to the final results a positive, pain-free experience. The dental nurse Kat was very reassuring and used her expertise to help me decide on a couple of choices I had to make. Top quality service – thank you both so much.”

FAQS

Frequently Asked questions and answers

Today, our dental practice is recognized as a globally renowned institution, committed to delivering exceptional care and treatment. Our goal is to provide high-quality care with respect and compassion, striving to be the premier choice in dental healthcare.

How often should I visit the hygienist?
It’s recommended to see the hygienist four times a year. Regular hygiene appointments help maintain excellent oral health and prevent issues from developing.
No — a scale and polish should not be painful when carried out by a trained professional. Our clinicians are highly skilled and ensure your treatment is gentle and comfortable.
Composite bonding is usually completed in one appointment, typically taking around 2 hours, depending on how many teeth are being treated and how much bonding material is needed.
Most composite bonding treatments do not require drilling. In cases where minimal shaping is needed, this will be discussed with you at your consultation to ensure your teeth remain the correct size and shape.
No — the process is completely pain-free. Any preparation of the tooth is minimal and limited to the outer surface, so you won’t feel any pain or discomfort during treatment.
