In more detail
Straighter, stronger, brighter smiles
A closer look at some of the treatments patients ask about most. Your dentist will talk through the options and give you a cost estimate before anything is booked.
Clear aligners
Removable, near-invisible trays that move teeth gradually into a better position. We refer aligner treatment to orthodontic specialists we know and trust, so you are looked after by an expert in straightening.
About referrals →Teeth straightening
Crooked, crowded or gapped teeth are harder to clean and can affect your bite. Talk to your dentist about whether braces or aligners suit you, and we will arrange a referral to a specialist orthodontist. We can carry out any orthodontic extractions that are needed.
About referrals →Root canal treatment
When the inside of a tooth becomes infected or badly damaged, root canal treatment removes the damaged tissue, cleans the canals and seals the tooth so it can be kept instead of removed. A crown may be recommended afterwards to protect it.
See root filling prices →Dentures
Replacements for missing teeth that restore your bite and your smile. We make acrylic dentures, chrome cobalt (metal) dentures and Valplast flexible dentures, and can adjust your appliance if it becomes uncomfortable.
See denture prices →Cosmetic dentistry
Small changes can make a big difference. We offer white fillings, veneers and crowns to repair and reshape teeth, and bleaching in certain cases to lighten them.

What to expect when you visit
Everything you need to know about joining the practice, booking, and getting help when something goes wrong.
New patients
We are a strictly private practice and do not operate under NHS regulations. Our fees are in the price lists.
Joining the practice
- Phone reception during working hours.
- A receptionist explains how the practice works and records some important information.
- We book an appointment at a time that suits you.
- The new patient examination fee is paid before your first visit to secure the appointment. We usually phone a day or so beforehand to take payment.
- Once the fee is paid, you are registered with the practice. If you need to be seen before your first appointment, we will arrange this as soon as we can.
We ask for payment in advance because missed new patient appointments have left slots unused when other people needed treatment. If payment is not made, the slot may be offered to the next person waiting.
At your first visit
We take a detailed medical history and update it regularly. If you take any medication long term, please bring the packaging, a repeat prescription listing your medicines, or your medication list from the NHS app on your phone.
Future visits
Tell your dentist about any changes to your medication or general health. We will complete an updated medical history form when things change.
Appointments
Booking. You can make an appointment by phone, by email or in person at the practice. Reception can send reminders by text, email, phone or letter.
Cancelling. If you cannot attend, please contact us as soon as possible so the slot can go to someone who needs it. You can call during working hours, leave a message on the answerphone at night, or send an email. We rebook cancelled appointments each morning.
Missed appointments. If you miss an appointment without telling us, we may make a charge to cover the surgery's costs.
Phone calls. When reception is busy, your call goes to voicemail. Leave your name and number and a receptionist will call you back when free.
Treatment sessions
During the Covid pandemic, dentistry could offer only limited treatment, and procedures were split into those that produce an aerosol and those that do not.
New evidence means we no longer need fallow time after aerosol-generating treatment, and our staff can use protective equipment in the way patients knew before Covid. All the treatments we previously offered are now available at all times.
Before we book any appointments, you receive a cost estimate for your treatment. We only make appointments with your agreement.
Specialist treatment
We offer a referral service for more specialised treatments, working with a range of specialist practices in the South West. We refer for:
- Orthodontic treatment
- Implants
- Intravenous sedation
- Specialist periodontal (gum) treatment
- More advanced oral surgery
We know all the specialists we refer to and are confident in the standard of care and treatment they provide.
Emergency treatment
During opening hours. If you need urgent treatment or advice, phone the practice on 01934 863363. We will do our best to see you as soon as possible. Calling early in the morning gives you the best chance of an emergency appointment that day.
Outside opening hours. Leave a message on the answerphone with a contact number. Reception will call you back as soon as possible after we reopen. Briefly say why you are calling, for example "broken tooth", "loose crown", "cracked denture" or "cancelling an appointment", so we can prioritise.
NHS emergency care. Anyone who needs emergency dental care, such as extreme swelling or excessive bleeding, can receive NHS treatment. Emergency care is provided under NHS regulations through a triage system. To access it, call 111.
Problems that are not classed as emergencies
- Sensitivity to hot or cold that you can manage by avoiding the affected tooth or those foods and drinks
- Toothache, which can usually be eased with over-the-counter pain relief such as ibuprofen or paracetamol
- A loose crown, or a crown that has come out
For these, leave an answerphone message describing the problem and we will deal with it when we reopen.

How we will use the information we have about you
We will use information we have about you to enable us to arrange appointments with the appropriate clinician, and to ensure that you are receiving care appropriate to your clinical needs. Our regulators, the General Dental Council and the Care Quality Commission, require us to create and retain records of the dental treatment that is provided to patients. We are obliged by law to keep these records for 10 years after the last date of treatment.
We will not disclose your personal data, including records of your treatment, unless required to do so by law, or with your explicit consent. If another medical or dental practitioner has referred you for treatment with us, we may disclose details of your treatment to them where appropriate. Whenever possible we will discuss any disclosure with you in advance. We will never pass on your information to a third party for marketing purposes.
We may share your information with selected third parties, for example, business suppliers such as dental laboratories, and with specialist dental practices, the NHS and general medical practitioners, for the performance and fulfilment of any contract we enter with you.
We will use your information to provide you with details about other services or products that we offer that we think will be relevant to your ongoing care, or may be of interest to you.

Where we store your personal information
All information you provide to us is stored in our secure servers, and in locked filing cabinets. When dental records are shared with third parties, for example online back-up, this is done through an encrypted file sharing service.
Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the Internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our site; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.

We will follow up an immediate verbal apology in writing and will undertake to advise them of the outcome of our investigations on completion.
