Preventative dentistry
Arrange a dental check-up in Chestfield
With a long combined experience, the team is the right choice for preventative care, from teeth cleaning to dental x-rays. Regular check-ups are the best way to prevent damage and cost further down the line.
- Dental check-ups for damaged teeth and softening enamel
- Scale & polish to remove plaque and tartar
- Dental x-rays for decay and how the teeth meet
- Oral health advice on keeping the mouth clean
On a first visit we offer a new patient examination, which records the condition of your mouth and registers you with us. X-rays are taken in addition to the new patient fee. If you are in pain, an emergency appointment can get the problem seen promptly.
Children’s dentistry
Chestfield’s safe and friendly children’s dentist
In the last 30 years the practice has helped many children keep their mouths healthy and overcome a fear of the dentist. Patients come from across Whitstable for infant health exams, habit advice such as thumb sucking or diet, repair of cavities or defects, and care for dental injuries such as a knocked-out tooth.
A children’s dentist works with your child from the first tooth through the teenage years. When baby teeth arrive, register them so regular care can start early. That keeps the mouth clean and helps children get used to the surgery.
Dentistry does not need to be expensive for families. NHS dental treatment for children is available until 18, and also for those under 19 in full-time education. Children under 16 need to be accompanied by an adult.
Cosmetic dentistry
Get the smile you want
Whether you want white fillings, veneers, teeth whitening or crowns, the practice offers cosmetic dentistry to create natural-looking teeth. The team explains the treatments that can be tailored to you.
Dental veneers
A veneer is a layer of material placed over a tooth. It can protect the tooth and improve its appearance.
Crowns & white fillings
Fillings repair damage from decay. A crown is a cap that covers the tooth. The team will advise which option suits you.
Teeth whitening
Whitening can return teeth toward their natural colour, or lighten them further. Whitening is carried out in the surgery.
Dental implants
A longer-term way to replace missing teeth
We offer free implant consultations (not including x-rays or study models). A dental implant with crown is from £1,595. Our dentist has placed over 3,000 implants.
People lose teeth through injury, decay, gum disease or age. Missing teeth may need replacing for appearance and for function. A fixed bridge or a denture is common; implants are chosen because they can last longer, slow bone loss, and leave the neighbouring teeth untouched.
Fitting an implant means placing a titanium screw in the jaw to replace a missing tooth or to support a bridge or denture. Implants can replace one tooth or several.
- Look and feel like your own teeth
- Clearer speech and easier eating
- Durable with good care
- Supports oral health
Teeth whitening
Teeth whitening made simple in Chestfield
We work with WhiteWash Laboratories for gel, strips and whitening that help patients in Chestfield and Whitstable towards a brighter smile. Founded in 2010, WhiteWash Laboratories is an independent supplier known for reliable, more affordable whitening. Whitening products are supplied through a qualified dentist.
Whitening gel
Peroxide-based gel is used under the supervision of a dentist. The formula is chosen to reduce sensitivity and is placed with a custom applicator on whitening trays. Many people see a change within a few days.
Whitening strips
Near-invisible strips carry a peroxide gel and mould to the teeth. Used for about an hour a day for two weeks, they are a straightforward way to lighten the smile.
Our network of support
NHS dentists, Denplan, and emergency care
To help with treatment, the practice offers NHS and Denplan support where it applies. Denplan payment plans can assist with the cost of private dental care. Children, those under 19 and in full-time education, and pregnant women can receive free NHS dental treatment. Emergency appointments are available so you are not left in pain.
