Hygienist and Therapy Services

All of our patients are recommended to see our hygienist for regular scale and polish appointments. This is important to maintain a good level of oral health. During hygienist visits teeth are cleaned to remove plaque and tartar around the gum line, enabling healthy gums and a good standard of oral health to be achieved. Hygienists are ideally placed to treat common oral problems such as tooth sensitivity and bleeding gums.

Dental Health Check

You may assume you should have a dental check-up every six months, but some people may not need to go so often and others may need more frequent checks. A check-up allows your dentist to see if you have any dental problems and helps you keep your mouth healthy. Leaving problems untreated could make them more difficult to treat in the future, so it's best to deal with problems early, or, if possible, prevent them altogether.

Specialised Services

Endodontics (root canal treatment) is a procedure which is carried out when a tooth is infected as a result of decay or injury. Our practice has been a centre for endodontic referrals since 1996. Dr Halton, who regularly undertakes the procedure, is one of only a handful of dentists in this country to have completed the prestigious endodontics course given by Dr L. Steven Buchanan in California. In addition to this he has over thirty years clinical experience in his field.
