Treatments

From a routine filling to facial trauma.

Each one below says plainly what the procedure is. What it involves for you depends on your own mouth and your own health, which is what the first consultation is for.

General and preventive dentistry

Examinations, scaling and polishing, fillings and the routine appointments that stop small problems becoming surgical ones.
