Treatments & prices

Everything below starts the same way: an examination, an honest explanation of what is going on, and a written quote before anything is done.

How pricing works here

1. Examination

We look at everything, not just the tooth that hurts, and take an X-ray where it helps.

2. A written plan

You get the options, what each costs, and what is urgent versus what can wait.

3. You decide

Nothing starts until you say yes. If a plan needs several visits, we schedule them around you.

What we do

Check-ups and prevention

  • Examination and diagnosis — where things stand, and what needs doing first
  • Cleaning — routine scale and polish
  • Deep cleaning — when gums are inflamed or bleeding
  • Night guards — if you grind your teeth

Repairing teeth

  • Fillings — in metal or tooth-coloured material
  • Inlays and onlays — for larger repairs where a filling is not enough
  • Crowns — when a tooth is too broken down to fill
  • Root canals — to save a tooth with an infected nerve
  • Extractions — when a tooth cannot be saved

Replacing teeth

  • Bridges — a fixed replacement anchored to the teeth beside the gap
  • Dentures and partials — removable, full or partial
  • Implant consultation and restoration

Cosmetic work

  • Whitening — professional, supervised
  • Veneers — for shape and colour at the front
  • Replacing old work — worn or discoloured crowns and fillings
  • Reshaping and polishing

Choosing materials

Back teeth do the heavy work. Front teeth are what people see. The right material is not the same for both, and it is worth understanding the trade-off before you choose.

Back teeth: strength wins

Molars take hundreds of kilos of force every day. Metal and gold restorations handle that better than tooth-coloured ones: they do not chip or crack, they can be made thinner so less of your own tooth has to be removed, and gold in particular wears at a similar rate to natural enamel, so it is gentle on the teeth it bites against. They are not pretty — but on a tooth nobody sees, longevity is usually the better trade.

Front teeth: appearance wins

Where a tooth shows when you smile, tooth-coloured materials are the sensible choice, and the forces there are far lower. A common middle path is a metal-backed crown with porcelain only on the surface that shows — the strength of metal where it matters, the appearance where you need it.

Materials are a personal decision, and cost, appearance and how long a tooth is expected to last all play a part. We will lay out the options for your situation and you choose — there is no single right answer for everyone.

Questions about cost

  • How do I pay?

    Payment methods are confirmed when we send your quote. Ask in advance if you need a particular method, especially if you are travelling.

  • Can I get a quote before I come in?

    An estimate, yes — send clear photos and any recent X-ray and we can usually tell you the likely range. A firm quote needs an examination, because what is visible in a photo is rarely the whole story.

  • Do I have to do everything at once?

    No. The plan separates what is urgent from what can wait, and we can spread treatment over time to suit your budget.

  • Will you use my insurance?

    Ask us when you book. We can provide itemised receipts for you to claim from your insurer.

Not sure what you need?

That is what the examination is for. Choose “Not sure — please advise” in the form and we will take it from there.
