Chewing on one side without thinking about it?

It's a habit people fall into when a tooth has been broken, weakened by decay, or is carrying a very large filling. A crown is often the answer.

Crowns do a few other jobs too. They can replace discoloured old fillings for a more appealing smile, protect a tooth after root canal treatment, and they're used to anchor a bridge or denture firmly in place.

If you've been favouring one side for a while, it's worth getting it looked at.

Coffee, tea, red w**e, time. ☕ Teeth pick up staining from all of it.

If you've become self-conscious about the shade of your teeth, professional whitening is worth understanding properly.

How it works here:

1. We assess the type of staining you have. This matters, because not all discolouration responds the same way 2. A custom tray is made to fit snugly over your teeth 3. The whitening agent goes into that tray and transfers evenly onto the teeth

Prefer to go gradually? Home whitening kits are available too, with trays worn overnight for a slower change.

Two things worth being straight about. Individual results vary depending on your starting tooth colour and the nature of your staining, which is why the assessment comes first.

Book an assessment and we'll tell you honestly what's achievable for your teeth.

That one tooth that's always bothered you? It might be a single appointment. 🦷

Composite bonding uses the same tooth-coloured resin as a white filling, applied carefully to the front teeth to improve their shape, colour and overall appearance.

What surprises most people is how little is involved. There's no drilling and no preparation, your own teeth stay completely intact underneath. In most cases, you're in and out in one visit, and it's pain-free.

It's well suited to:
✨ Chipped teeth
🎨 Staining or discolouration
↔️ Small gaps
🦷 Changes to tooth shape or appearance

⭐ "Extremely empathetic and offered practical and affordable solutions to the chipped tooth I had." — P.H, Google review

✨ Sometimes, the smallest changes can make the biggest difference to your smile.

Composite bonding is a simple and conservative cosmetic treatment that can help improve the shape, colour and overall appearance of your teeth.

At Word of Mouth Dental Care, tooth-coloured composite resin can be carefully shaped and polished to address concerns such as:

🦷 Small gaps
✨ Minor chips and imperfections
🎨 Uneven colour
😁 Subtle changes to tooth shape

In many cases, treatment can be completed in a single visit, with little or no preparation of the natural tooth.

The aim is simple: a smile that still looks like you, just with the details refined.

You can brush perfectly and still miss it. 🪥

Plaque hardens in the places a toothbrush was never going to reach. That's not a reflection on your technique, it's just how mouths are shaped. Removing it is a job for a trained dental hygienist.

Here's what actually happens at a hygiene appointment:

1. Your teeth and gums are assessed, so we know how much plaque removal is needed and where your risk factors are 2. A professional clean with specialist equipment and pastes, scaling and polishing 3. Practical coaching on brushing technique, flossing and interdental brushes, so you can keep on top of it at home

It's preventive work, helping to treat gum disease and bad breath, reducing the risk of decay and fillings, and minimising the risk of tooth loss. You'll also leave with properly fresh breath.

Regular visits are what keep it working. Due one?

Straighter teeth aren't just about looks. 😁

Orthodontics gets thought of as a cosmetic treatment, and it does transform how a smile looks but the health argument is the stronger one. When teeth are properly aligned, there are fewer gaps for plaque to build up in over time. That's a genuine long-term investment in your oral health, not just your appearance.

Modern treatment is also a world away from what you might remember. The discipline has advanced over decades, and treatment today is considerably faster and more comfortable than it used to be.

What to expect:

📋 Impressions, photos and x-rays first, to determine the right course of action 🔧 Brackets bonded to the teeth, with wires that gently guide them into position over time 🪥 Good oral hygiene habits throughout plus regular visits for check-ups and adjustments 🔒 Fixed permanent retention at the end, so your teeth stay where they've been moved to

⭐ "Very professional dentist... offered practical and affordable solutions." — P.H, Google review

Coffee, tea, red w**e, time. ☕ Teeth pick up staining from all of it.

If you've become self-conscious about the shade of your teeth, professional whitening is worth understanding properly, because it works quite differently from anything you'll find on a shop shelf.

How it works here:

1️⃣ We assess the type of staining you have, because not all discolouration responds the same way 2️⃣ A custom tray is made to fit snugly over your teeth 3️⃣ The whitening agent goes into that tray and transfers evenly onto the teeth

Prefer to go gradually? Home whitening kits are available too, with trays worn overnight for a slower change.

Two things worth being straight about: individual results vary depending on your starting tooth colour and the nature of your staining, which is exactly why the assessment comes first. And whitening should always be delivered by a dental professional. It's a regulated treatment for good reason.

Book an assessment and we'll tell you honestly what's achievable for your teeth.
