Regular dental care gives you a chance to check in on your teeth and gums, ask questions and address concerns before they become more difficult to manage.

At your examination, we assess your oral health and explain what we find. Tell us about sensitivity, discomfort, changes in your mouth or anything you have noticed since your last visit. X-rays may be recommended when they are needed to help with diagnosis or treatment planning. We also discuss a suitable interval for your next check-up, based on your needs.

Depending on your needs, treatment may include fillings, crowns or bridges, root canal treatment or the removal of a tooth. We’ll discuss the options that are appropriate for your situation, including whether further assessment is needed.

A first tooth, a wobbly tooth or a brushing battle: every stage brings something new. We’re here to help parents navigate their child’s dental care with clear, practical guidance.

Dr Simoné has a special interest in children’s dentistry. Our aim is to help children become familiar with dental visits through approachable explanations and an encouraging atmosphere. Some children arrive full of curiosity; others need more reassurance. Please tell us about your child’s previous experiences or any needs you would like us to consider.

Appointments may include a dental examination, advice on brushing and food choices, and discussion of concerns such as thumb-sucking or dummy use. We help parents understand what to watch for as teeth develop and how to support cleaning at home. If your child needs treatment, we’ll explain the options and next steps so you know what is being recommended and why.

Toothache and dental concerns

If you have toothache, a damaged tooth, a lost filling or swelling, contact the practice to discuss your symptoms and appointment availability.

Let reception know when the problem started and whether you have pain, swelling or a recent injury. This helps the team understand your enquiry.

For difficulty breathing or swallowing, or swelling around the eye or neck, seek immediate medical help at an emergency unit. Do not wait for a reply to an online enquiry.

If there’s something you would like to change about the appearance of your teeth, start with a conversation about what you hope to achieve.

Your oral health, existing dental work and expectations all help determine which options may be suitable. Treatment choices may include whitening, bonding or veneers, depending on your needs.

We’ll explain the benefits, limitations and ongoing care involved in any recommended treatment so you can make an informed decision. The starting point is understanding what matters to you and checking the health of your teeth and gums. A change in appearance should be considered alongside the care your teeth need over time.

Advice on dental implants

If you’re missing a tooth, an implant may be one of the options to consider. An implant is placed in the jawbone to support a replacement tooth; it involves assessment, treatment and healing over time.

Suitability depends on several factors, including your gum health, bone support and medical history. Other options may also be appropriate.

Arrange an assessment to discuss your missing tooth and the next steps. Where specialist input is needed, your dentist can explain the referral options.

Advice on tooth alignment

Questions about crowded teeth, gaps or your child’s developing bite can begin with a dental assessment.

Braces and clear aligners are different ways of moving teeth, but suitability depends on the individual. An assessment helps establish whether orthodontic care should be considered and whether a specialist opinion is needed.

We can discuss your concerns and explain the next step towards understanding your options.
