Very Intelligent and Friendly
I have been using this surgery for many years and always feel confident with the service. Recently I have suffered with some minor mental health problems which means I am not comfortable in confined spaces. The dentist was able to treat me and totally understood my concerns. Would recommend to nervous patients

Gave lots of reassurance
I always make my appointment at the same time as bringing my children. We are always seen on time and the dentists and reception staff are always friendly and accommodating.

Professional and Friendly
Our family (with 4 children) have been using this dental practice for over 10 years with enormous success. Mr Shah is very efficient, very reassuring, punctual and charming. The staff pick up the phone when you call and are polite and efficient. Nothing is ever too much trouble and i could not recommend this practice more highly.
What is conservative dentistry?
How do I know if I need it?
If you have a cavity, a chipped or cracked tooth, or a tooth that’s damaged but still has good structure left, conservative dentistry might be the right option.
In your first visit the dentist will check your tooth and discuss if a conservative approach is possible.
What treatments do you offer under conservative dentistry?
We offer:
Root Canal Treatment (RCT)
These help treat decay, repair damaged teeth, and relieve tooth pain.
GIC Restorations (tooth fillings)
Laser Restorations
When do I need a GIC filling?
You may need a GIC filling if:
- Your tooth has a cavity
- You feel sensitivity or mild pain
- A part of the tooth is chipped or broken
GIC fillings are safe, strong and bond well to the tooth.
What are laser restorations?
Laser restorations use gentle laser technology to clean and treat decayed areas with minimal drilling and pain. It helps in faster healing and is comfortable for sensitive patients.
When is a root canal needed?
A root canal is needed when the tooth pain is severe or the decay has reached the nerve. Symptoms may include:
Swelling or infection
A root canal saves your natural tooth and removes pain.
Tooth pain while chewing
Severe sensitivity to hot/cold
Will the treatment be painful?
No, most treatments are done under local anesthesia.
Laser dentistry also reduces pain and discomfort. You will feel comfortable during and after the procedure.
