Oral health care
In the Practice, we believe in an holistic approach treating you as a whole person. Gone are the days of just looking at your teeth as we aim to treat you and not just your teeth. This difference is subtle but critical for your overall care and betterment. Many people have very differing opinions and aspirations regarding their teeth and mouth and these factors are fully considered and discussed with you so that the dentist can tailor an oral health plan for you. Most people need some treatment initially to get their mouths up to a good standard of health but thereafter, it is hoped that it can be maintained at that standard by largely preventive means. Looking to the medium and longer term is also important as this long relationship ensures effective continuing care. The cornerstone of this approach is the Practice’s preventive philosophy as prevention is surely better than cure. Once (good) tooth is lost then it cannot be replaced, every time fillings are replaced more tooth is lost so modern techniques and approaches are aimed at preserving and conserving teeth and tooth tissue for as long as possible. This has the ultimate aim of retaining a functional and aesthetic natural dentition for life and thus reducing the need for “false teeth,” a dread for many people.
