Head Receptionist
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.
