You will see from the outset that our practice aims to make you smile inside and out. We provide a comprehensive range of dental services including, preventive care, restorative care, cosmetic dentistry and surgical dentistry.

Whether you are referred to us by your own dentist or come to see us on your own you will see from the very start we go that extra distance and strive to make your visit as pleasant and relaxing as possible and by listening to individual needs and aspirations we can give you the healthiest mouth possible based on the simple principle that tooth decay and tooth loss are preventable.

The best way to keep your teeth for life is to keep them healthy. Identifying minor problems early prevents serious problems from developing. That is why we allow plenty of time during every regular check up and hygienist visit for thorough investigation and careful patient instruction. Dr Hawkesford and his hygienists are meticulous in their desire to keep your teeth as clean and healthy as possible. They will carefully and patiently explain everything you need to know to ensure that you are confident about preserving your smile.

Over 90% of the population show some signs of gum disease without even realising it. This is because it is a silent problem and may go unrecognised by both patient and many dentists until the final stages. It is often said that you would not build a house unless the foundations were sound and this follows for teeth and is why we are so diligent in examining your periodontal health at every opportunity. Dr Hawkesford and the hygienists make regular measurements of the health of your gums which enables them to monitor their future health. Regular visits to the hygienists and cleaning protects your teeth from unwanted accumulation of plaque, calculus and stain and regular oral hygiene instruction enables you to maintain this healthy state at home. We also have the specialist service of Dr John Coventry, a recognised leading specialist in periodontal health, resident in the practice who can give unparalleled advice and treatment for all periodontal related problems.

The everyday rigours of life can often take their toll on teeth leading to fractures, decay, infection or even tooth loss. This does not mean you cannot still have long term dental health and although we endeavour to prevent and minimise these types of problems we strive to bring back a strong and healthy smile and encourage you to maintain it.
