Practice growth and development is at the core of St. Helen’s Dental Practice’s philosophy. Every staff member is actively involved in ongoing training to further improve the service provided to their patients.
Team building and audit also feature highly as a priority. This commitment to continual self improvement was acknowledged with the Practice being awarded the Investor in People title in February 1999.
What we offer

We offer the latest in modern dentistry to give you a healthy, happy smile.
We are able to offer a range of cosmetic dental treatments, whether you want a complete transformation, or would just like to give your smile a lift. With digital smile design technology, a simple photograph is all that is required to be able to show you within minutes what you could look like following a makeover.
Having missing teeth can knock your confidence, and affect the way you eat and speak. Replacing missing teeth can:
- Restore your smile
- Restore the ability to properly chew and speak
- Maintain the shape of your face
- Distribute the forces in your bite properly by replacing missing teeth
- Prevent remaining teeth from drifting out of position
Hygiene therapy
We care about the overall health of your mouth. At each Dental Health Check your dentist will assess the health of your mouth, teeth and gums. If necessary we will refer you to one of our three friendly hygienists. Maintaining a healthy mouth is not only beneficial for your teeth and gums, but can be beneficial to your general health. We want to help you in every way we can.
Oral hygiene instruction
Our dedicated team will take time to give you tailored advice on the best products and techniques to maintain a healthy dentition. This may also include advice about diet and smoking cessation
Headaches, temporomandibular joint disfunction (TMD). In some cases, headaches can be of dental origin. All our dentists have completed an advanced course on Occlusal Equilibration. This looks at how your teeth bite together – if there is a problem with how your teeth meet you can get pain, clicking, headaches or tooth wear. If you suffer from any of these symptoms we can help. About a quarter of headaches may be caused by teeth that don’t meet together properly.
Testimonials
“On behalf of the friends of chernobyl’s children charity, I would like to write and thank you for providing the dental treatment for the children from Belarus. The children do not have access to the best dental care at home and so we really appreciate everything you do for them.”
Friends of Chernobyl Childrens Charity
“It must be difficult for dentist’s who see so many patients and relatively infrequently to know their patients as individuals but we most definitely feel known and valued. Upon entering the practice the reception staff are always welcoming and helpful and when ‘in the chair’ we always feel that our care and wellbeing is of paramount importance. Everyone we have dealt with has been fantastic..”

“I came to see Amanda with crooked teeth and hated my smile – and I desperately needed a smile for my daughters wedding. The journey has been fabulous and pain free. Evidence based treatment is Amanda s working style,as well as a fabulous personality.”
