About Us

and our Philosophy

Church Street Dental Surgery provides treatment rooms that are both relaxed and caring for your family’s routine dental care. From the youngest child to their parents and indeed their grandparents, we can provide care for all three generation under one roof. All are welcome.

We are a dental surgery devoted to the prevention of dental disease. We encourage regular visits to the Dentist and Hygienist. Additional to this we have an Oral Health Educator. This approach works well with most patients who benefit from enjoying a disease free mouth with little or no dental work needed.

We firmly believe that all cavities can be prevented by carrying out good oral hygiene. This involves twice daily brushing with an oscillating rotating electric toothbrush and using quality fluoride toothpaste. Combing a good healthy diet avoiding frequent sugary snacks will reduce decay.

Prevention also involves detection of early cavities, fluoride application and education. This can be done by your Hygienist or Oral Health Educator. Should you need a filling then it will of course be shade matched with the colour of your natural teeth.

At our Dental Surgery all of our team keep up to date with the most modern and best practice methods. We regularly attend post graduate courses.

Our practice is always investing in modern equipment so our patients get the best quality treatment.

Our decontamination room was commissioned in January 2010 to comply with HTML 01-05
