Prevention
Our Hygienist attends the practice on Thursdays and is able to provide preventative treatment including scaling. Prevention and early detection are key in avoiding costly and painful dental treatment. Prevention begins with the control of plaque and calculus, the main cause of decay and gum disease.


Cosmetic Dental Treatment
A full range of cosmetic treatments are available including crowns, bridges, porcelain veneers, cosmetic bleaching (tooth whitening) and tooth coloured fillings. Some of these treatments are not available on the NHS.

Crowns
Crowns can be used to remedy a large number of patients problems, and Dr. Grime has many years experience working with these items.

Veneers
Veneers are used to brighten a smile and ensure it is even and attractive.

Implants
In certain cases missing teeth can be replaced utilising titanium implants embedded in the jaws. Dr. Grime has a particular interest in implants, and has attended post graduate study to further his ability in this area.

Denture repairs

Denture repairs should be brought to the surgery before 10.00am to enable us to provide a same day service. Any repairs brought in before 10.00 am are usually ready for collection the next day.

Oral surgery

A number of surgical procedures e.g. the removal of impacted wisdom teeth, can be carried out in the surgery often with the aid of sedation. In many cases this avoid the need to be referred to hospital for treatment. Dr Grime is registered with the General Dental Council as a Specialist in Surgical Dentistry
