General Dentistry

Our team of Dental Hygienists will scale and polish your teeth thoroughly within a 30 minute or 60 minute dental hygienist appointment. If you clean your teeth very thoroughly anyway, your scale and polish will take less time. All of our dental hygienists are specially trained for this type of cleaning of your teeth.

Scaling removes the hard tartar which forms on your teeth like scale inside a kettle. You can't remove it just by brushing your teeth. Scaling also removes trapped food and plaque containing millions of germs, which can cause tooth decay and gum disease. Stains from coffee, tea, cigarettes or red wine are also cleaned away when your dentist polishes your teeth.

Our dental team has invested in many hours of post-graduate education to develop the skill and artistic flair needed to create cosmetic white fillings that look and feel fantastic. By choosing these fillings, you can smile, talk, laugh, and eat in complete confidence knowing that your teeth look perfectly natural.

We increasingly find that our clients opt for tooth-coloured ("composite") fillings instead of grey-looking ("amalgam") or gold fillings, as they not only restore the strength of your tooth by adhering to the tooth, but also retain the aesthetics of your smile. Cosmetic fillings can be matched to the shade, translucency and even the texture of your natural teeth, making them almost unnoticeable.

Unlike silver amalgam restorations, white composite restorations stick to the teeth meaning they are often used to repair chipped, broken or decayed teeth (especially at the front of your mouth). Our dental clinicians may sometimes use white restorations for back teeth if there is not too much decay or damage.

Gum disease often starts as a silent disease and causes up to one third of adult tooth loss in the UK. It is caused by bacteria which lives in your mouth irritating the gums and causing them to bleed. Gum disease or periodontal disease can affect anyone, but some people are much more affected than others. The key to keeping gum disease at bay is to address how you look after your mouth. Having the right brushing and flossing techniques can have a massive impact at preventing and addressing gum disease.

If you have moderate to severe gum disease you maybe referred to a specialist for detailed treatment of your teeth and gums to help control the bacteria that cause gum disease. Please don’t worry, over 83% of the population have some form of gum disease and the great news is you have come to the right place.

Cosmetic dental crowns offer a strong and reinforcing outer 'cap' to protect damaged, cracked or broken teeth when a filling will not suffice. This will enable you to chew with comfort and smile with confidence. As they encompass the remaining 'core' of your natural tooth underneath, they reduce your risk of further breakages, and meanwhile rebuild the tooth's natural shape. A dental crown covers the entire tooth surface all the way to the gum line. You can always be assured that our approach is as preservative as possible.

Get Out Of Pain
Unfortunately, our teeth do not perform to a schedule or keep to the typical working day and we understand that problems often occur out of hours. If you have a dental emergency and it is a weekday, please contact us as early as possible so that we can try and arrange a same day appointment.

envisage dental offer emergency dentistry open early morning till late and available on weekends.

New Patients
If you are not registered as a patient at envisage dental we offer a fixed fee to get out of pain for the tooth in question. You will then be asked to book in for a full Dental Health Check where the dentist can assess your entire oral health and provide a long term solution with the use of intra oral cameras and X-Rays.

Existing Patients
If you are already registered as a patient we will get you out of pain for a reduced fixed fee and invite you back for your full Dental Health Check to assess a long term solution.

Our envisage Dental Health Check allows our dentists to assess how healthy your mouth is by conducting a full 30 minutes assessment. At envisage we are proud to offer you so much more than "just a check-up".

We spend the first part of your Dental Health Check listening to and understanding your specific concerns. So that we provide you the quality of care that we would expect to receive ourselves, we do not hurry. This means that our clients find this an ideal opportunity to discuss other aspects of their health and wellbeing. For example, if you are looking for ways to improve your smile or maintain a youthful appearance you can address these issues in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.

A tooth, which is very decayed, damaged or loose because of gum disease, may have to be ‘extracted’ or surgically removed.

Sometimes children's teeth are extracted for orthodontic reasons to help the new or remaining teeth grow regularly or without being crowded.

All envisage our dentist surgeries are up to date with the latest digital technology and dental advancements. We use digital X-Rays and Intra Oral Cameras along with the latest dental software systems to record and monitor your oral health. Some of our clinics work closely with the dental laboratory to offer digital impressions or other same day services and some of our clinics may offer CT Scans and OPGs onsite. Please enquire for further details of these services.
