The team at Avenue Road Dental Practice offers high-quality dental services with the emphasis on your comfort and care. From booking your first appointment to completing your treatment we try to make your experience as pleasant and convenient as we can.
Avenue Road Dental Practice is a completely private practice. All can enjoy the same high standards of care. Appointments are unhurried; we take time to get to know you and listen to your concerns. Your well being is important to us.
We offer a wide range of services from general dentistry to cosmetic dental care. At our practice we care for people. We care for peoples' teeth too but we don't forget what they're attached to!
We listen to your needs and concerns and work together with you to plan your future dental health. We're interested in the way you look. We know a beautiful smile adds confidence and self-esteem. If you wish, we can provide a full range of cosmetic dentistry to help you look your best.
Even our routine treatments are designed with appearance in mind. We don't use mercury amalgam fillings because we understand the concerns people have about having toxic metals placed in their mouths; so we choose alternatives. We go further than this - we use special techniques to protect you as much as possible from swallowing or breathing-in mercury during the removal of old fillings.
We respect your lifestyle and ethical wishes. We combine conventional and complimentary treatments. We try to look after you in a way that will avoid the need to use potent medicines but will give you realistic advice if, for example, we feel you might benefit from the use of an antibiotic.
We take allergies and sensitivities seriously. We try to avoid materials that might cause a reaction and listen carefully to any reports of experiences you have had in the past. We help you to help yourself. We provide a full range of preventive treatments backed up with extensive advice on home care.
We have time for you. The appointments you are offered may be longer than you have previously been used to. This is to let us care for you without rush or pressure. We care about your well-being. We'll offer you refreshments and treat you with courtesy. If this sort of dental care sounds special to you, visit us soon.
You may think of a dental practice just as somewhere to go for repair to a broken or diseased tooth. At Avenue Road Dental Practice we try to keep our patients healthy in an effort to avoid frequent treatments. We do this by concentrating on prevention. We carefully explain the principles of home care - not only cleaning but also the implications different lifestyles and diets have on oral health.
The dentist begins each regular examination with a thorough look at the soft tissues of your mouth. We don't want to miss conditions like ulcers, thrush or early mouth cancer. Then the dentist examines your gums; the foundations on which your teeth are built. The teeth themselves come last. When early problems are diagnosed you will often be given instruction in how to prevent the condition getting worse. In this way we can frequently avoid the need to drill cavities.
If treatment does become necessary we may recommend complimentary therapies to help your body cope. Examples of these may be arnica before and after potentially stressful procedures, aloe vera to aid healing or selenium and zinc to act as antioxidants and boost the immune system before the removal of mercury amalgam fillings.
We sometimes use electronic or pulsating light stimulation to aid healing after surgical procedures. We may advise a visit to a chiropractor for help in treating jaw misalignment or joint problems. As well as natural remedies we will not hesitate to recommend conventional medicines where we feel they would be appropriate.
Members of our dental team are interested in care. We have all been medical or dental patients ourselves from time to time and want to treat others in the way we would like to be treated ourselves. We spend time with our patients and listen to their concerns. We always try to accommodate special needs and requests.
