General And Preventative Dental Care

Your ongoing dental health is the most important thing to us. That's why we have adopted a refined preventative approach within the practice.

Many patients leave their problems, or are totally unaware of any problems until they become much more difficult to fix.

Instead we use regular routine examinations to ensure we spot any minor problems and fix them before they develop.

By addressing any dental issues we find early, we help to avoid more complicated and expensive treatments in the future. This saves you discomfort and money.

By maintaining your oral health with us, we aim to make sure you can keep smiling for years to come.

There are a number of factors we look for during an examination and they don't just involve teeth.

Initially we get an idea of what already exists in your mouth, whether you are missing any teeth, have any fillings or dental work and let us see if there have been any changes since your last visit.

After checking your teeth comes the gums and soft tissue checks.

During these checks, your dentist will be on the lookout for any areas that seems sore, inflamed or discoloured on your gums and cheeks. This is important, as it lets us spot anything nasty before it becomes a major problem.

These checks all add together to make sure that we can give you the full picture - helped in a large way by means of the small dedicated cameras that we use within the mouth - ensuring you aware of any problems...... before they become real problems!

Some very lucky people only have to visit us every 18 - 24 months, whilst others need more frequent checks every 3 months.

This all depends on how healthy your teeth and gums are, your risk of future problems and any problems you may have had in the past. Your dentist will always let you know what time-frame is best for you.

Generally, the lower your risk of dental problems, the longer you can wait before your next check-up.

At Herbrandston and Narberth Dental Health Practices we offer a wide range of treatments: many of which are not offered by NHS dentists or private dentists without specific skills.

Many of our dentists have additional qualifications above that of a general practitioner allowing a wide range of advanced treatments. Things like Dental Implants, Orthodonticsand advanced Restorative Dentistry are all carried out within the practice.

This means that you will be seen by the dentist best suited to provide your treatment, something that makes us unique among dentists. We are able to keep all treatments in-house, without the need for referrals or long waiting lists.

But don't worry you will always see your preferred dentist for routine treatment, ensuring there is always a friendly face when you visit.

Our Practice Philosophy has always been to give our patients the highest standard of care : to attend to their dental needs in a friendly and congenial atmosphere.

We are highly rated by our patients and have won multiple awards for our caring and thoughtful approach to dentistry. We also routinely feature in Dental journals and national publications so you can be sure of the results you can expect with us.
