The Quality Care Initiative aims to provide a written appraisal of equipment and procedures to reassure patients that the care they receive is up-to-date and appropriate. Here are some of the standard achievements and aims at this practice:
Equipment
Modern fibre optic operating equipment, surgery fittings and diagnostic x-ray facilities.
Sterilisation
Highest standard of sterilisation protocol.
All plastic instruments, gloves, polishing brushes and root-filling instruments are one patient disposable.
All other instruments are heat and steam sterilised after every use.
Staff receive regular updates and training in procedures.
Diagnosis
Check-ups include full mouth examination and periodontal (gum) charting plus oral cancer screening.
Materials
All materials used in fillings are high durability, high quality and, where appropriate, blend with natural tooth colour.
Confidence in our choice of materials is backed by the two-year warranty (see above).
Cosmetic dentistry
Tooth whitening, tooth straightening, veneers and dental implants are all available on the premises.
Adhesive dentistry
The last few years have seen revolutionary improvements in dental materials, particularly the adhesives that can be used to stick fillings directly to teeth. These materials are tooth coloured and blend invisibly with the tooth. Your dentist will be pleased to discuss the options whenever an old filling needs replacing.
In-house services
We now offer in-house access to the following dental services:
Periodontist for diagnosis and treatment of gum disease.
Oral surgeon for assessment and extraction of wisdom teeth and broken roots.
Implantologist for the replacement of missing teeth with dental implants.
