Treatments

What we do here

Five groups of treatment, all under one roof on the High Road, so a check-up that finds something does not turn into a referral across London.

General dentistry

The everyday care that keeps things simple: examinations, hygiene visits, fillings and the treatment needed when a tooth has been left too long. Children are welcome.

  • Examinations
  • Hygiene and airflow
  • Fillings
  • Root canal treatment
  • Crowns and bridges
  • Extractions
  • Dentures
  • Children's dentistry
  • Mouth cancer screening
  • Nervous patients

Cosmetic dentistry

Work aimed at how a smile looks as well as how it functions, planned and quoted before anything starts.

  • Teeth whitening
  • Veneers
  • Composite bonding
  • White fillings
  • Smile makeovers
  • Crown lengthening
  • Cosmetic dentures

Teeth straightening

Clear aligners and short-course brace systems for adults who want teeth moved without a two-year commitment.

  • Clear aligners
  • Ceramic braces
  • Six Month Smiles
  • Quick Straight Teeth
  • Retainers

Dental implants

Replacing a missing tooth from the root up. Implant consultations are booked separately so there is time to assess and explain the options.

  • Single tooth implants
  • Implant consultation
  • Prosthodontics
  • Endodontics

Facial aesthetics

Treatments for lines and wrinkles, and dermal fillers, provided at the practice. These are assessed in person at a consultation rather than booked from a price list, so ask reception what is involved.

Prices

What it costs, before you sit down

Private fees, as published by the practice. Where a price says "from", the final figure depends on the tooth and the work involved and is quoted in writing after your examination. NHS treatment is charged at NHS band rates. 0% finance is available through Chrysalis Finance.
