Yes. Decay and gum disease don't usually hurt until they've become serious problems. By the time a tooth starts aching, you often need a root canal or extraction — treatments that cost far more than a routine check-up. Coming in regularly means we catch small issues early, while they're quick and cheap to fix.

A routine clean is very gentle — most people don't need any anaesthetic at all. We use numbing gel before any injection if one is needed, offer noise-cancelling headphones, and have happy gas available. A lot of our most nervous patients end up becoming regulars once they see how different it is.

A regular clean removes the plaque and hardened buildup that brushing misses, and covers everything above the gum line. It helps prevent cavities, gum disease, and staining. A deep clean is needed when gum disease is more advanced — where the gums have pulled away from the teeth or there's some bone loss. We clean below the gum line and use extra treatments to reduce infection and stop things from getting worse. The goal is to save your teeth for the long term.

Yes. For patients who prefer to avoid fluoride, we use evidence-based alternatives like hydroxyapatite — a naturally occurring mineral that helps remineralise tooth enamel. We'll also give you tailored dietary and hygiene advice to strengthen your teeth without fluoride.

If you grind or clench your teeth (often during sleep), a night guard protects your teeth from wearing down or cracking. It also helps reduce jaw soreness, headaches, and tension. Each guard is custom-made to fit your teeth precisely, so it's far more comfortable and effective than anything from a chemist.
