Preventative dentistry

We believe prevention is better than cure. This is why we offer regular hygiene visits to every patient. We spend time discussing the best oral hygiene techniques and will undertake fissure sealants and professional fluoride application to prevent future problems when required.

Children's dentistry

Having good oral hygiene for life is our goal. Childhood has been identified as the most important period in a persons’ dental life. We believe each visit should be fun and aim to make every child look forward to their next dental visit. Our focus is prevention, we will take time to go over oral hygiene and undertake preventative procedures like fissure sealing or professional fluoride applications if required. We use a very gentle and friendly approach to make the appointment run as smoothly as possible.

Emergency care

If you have a dental emergency please call the practice immediately to arrange an appointment on 01978 280285. We aim to get all of our patients out of pain as soon as possible and will discuss all of the relevant options with you. If the practice is closed please leave a voicemail and we will call you back as soon as possible. We understand that people lead busy lives and it is not always possible to see the dentist in normal working hours. Our Tuesday evening late night appointments may be more convenient for you.

Beauwood Aesthetics

We offer facial aesthetics at Beauwood Dental Care performed by our aesthetics practitioner Beth, she is a registered NMC nurse with over 10 years experience.
Facial aesthetics can smooth wrinkles and fine lines giving you more confidence..
It can also help with tension headaches and tooth grinding.

Dental anxiety management

Dental anxiety or phobia is a very common reason for not coming to the dentists. If this applies to you, rest assured you are not alone. This is why we spend time with each patient to learn and manage your anxieties.
At Beauwood Dental Care we are experienced in treating patients who are anxious and use behavioural techniques and procedures such as pain free anaesthetic administration to help. Given the right care and attention we are confident that we can help you to overcome any dental anxieties.

Fillings

Fillings are a fast, simple and convenient way of repairing missing tooth structure. We believe all fillings should look natural and this is why we will always offer you this option if you require a filling. It is sometimes necessary to replace old fillings if they are worn down or broken. If you believe you require a filling please make an appointment as it may prevent you from needing more complex work if left too long.

Tooth whitening

Tooth whitening can be a very effective way of improving your smile. Our aim is for you to have a whiter brighter smile for as long as possible, this is why we offer custom made whitening trays and a take home kit to top up your whitened teeth. Tooth whitening is not suitable for everyone and as such you will first require an assessment to see if it is a suitable option for you.

Sensitive tooth treatment

Tooth sensitivity is a very common dental complaint. In most cases it can be eradicated to allow you to get on with enjoying life. Brushing technique and diet can be a factor and we will be happy to discuss this with you.

Gum care

It has been shown that more people loose teeth through poor gum health than tooth decay. Gum disease often goes un-noticed and is not painful. At Beauwood Dental Care we undertake a full check of the gums during every examination. We also have a dental hygienist as part of our team who will professionally remove plaque, tartar and staining. We believe that excellent oral hygiene is crucial in maintaining healthy gums and this is why we promote a new concept in the use of interproximal brushes. We will fully explain this exciting new concept during your hygiene appointment.

Dentures

Using dentures we can help to replace a few teeth, or all of your teeth. Dentures will help you look better, eat better and will improve your self confidence. Loosing teeth causes bone loss too which can give the face a sunken appearance. With dentures we can replace this missing bone which helps support the face and cheeks. There are many different options when it comes to dentures which we will always discuss with you so that you are able to choose the best option that suits your needs.

Mouth guards

Preventing tooth trauma when playing contact sports is essential. The best way of achieving this is with a custom made mouthguard. These can be made to the colour of your choice and we can incorporate logos or badges into the mouthguard if required. Custom made mouthguards don’t require any effort to keep in your mouth, leaving you to concentrate on your game.

Veneers

Veneers are custom made restorations that attach to the front of your teeth. Veneers can be used to restore one tooth or be used on multiple teeth. They can help to provide a well aligned, proportioned natural aesthetic smile with minimal tooth preparation. We also provide a service where veneers can be trialled in a temporary material before a final decision is made to go ahead with the permanent makeover. We want to know that you will be happy with your final result right at the start of your treatment.

Crowns

Crowns (also known as caps) can be used to restore, protect and improve the strength of heavily filled or decayed teeth. Crowns fit over the remaining part of a prepared tooth, they can be made of a number of different materials. At Beauwood Dental Care we prefer to use cosmetic porcelain crowns in almost all situations. Crowns are so advanced these days that they can be made to be indistinguishable from a natural tooth. We have invested in CEREC technology so that we can offer crowns in one appointment.

Bridges

A bridge is made by placing crowns on the teeth at either side of a space and restoring the space by joining the two crowns together with a false tooth. They are cemented into the mouth and do not need to be removed. Your new bridge will improve your bite and ability to chew. At Beauwood Dental Care we have invested in CEREC technology so that we can offer bridges in one appointment.

Inlays and Onlays

Inlays and onlays are a new advancement in dentistry. They allow for large unsightly fillings or heavily decayed teeth to be restored with a strong, long lasting restoration. Commonly they can be used as an alternative to crowns. Tooth coloured ceramic is normally the material used leaving your tooth with a very aesthetic appearance. At Beauwood Dental Care we have invested in CEREC technology so that we can offer inlays and onlays in one appointment.

Root canal treatment

Root canal treatment has experienced huge improvements over recent years. It no longer needs to be an unpleasant experience. We can save even the most heavily decayed teeth using this technique. Our modern nickel titanium root canal equipment allows the procedure to be completed in just one visit in the majority of cases.

Extractions

Extractions are always a last resort. However in some cases there are no other options. At Beauwood Dental Care we use a technique where the tooth is removed as carefully as possible using the best local anaesthetic. If wisdom teeth need to be removed this can be undertaken at the practice or alternatively we can refer to an oral surgeon for the teeth to be removed under a general anaesthetic.
