✨ Composite bonding or porcelain veneers... which would you choose?

If you've ever wished you could improve your smile, you've probably come across both treatments. But what's the difference, and how do you know which one is right for you?

In our latest blog, we explain:
🦷 What composite bonding and veneers actually are
🦷 Which treatment lasts longer
🦷 How they compare on cost
🦷 Which option might suit your smile best

The truth is, there's no one-size-fits-all answer – every smile is different, and that's exactly why we always recommend a personalised consultation.

💬 We'd love to hear from you! Have you ever considered cosmetic dental treatment, or is there something about your smile you'd love to change? Let us know in the comments.

Read the full blog via the link below, or call us on 01395 272027 if you'd like to chat with our friendly team.

Why I'd choose a dental implant myself.

It might sound like an unusual title for a blog written by a dentist—but it's an honest one.

Recently, our team were talking about the treatments we provide every day.

Someone asked us a simple question:

"If you ever needed to replace a tooth, would you have a dental implant?"

Every hand in the room went up.

Why? Because we see every day the difference implants make to people's confidence, comfort and quality of life.

That doesn't mean implants are right for everyone. If there's a better option for you, we'll always tell you. Our job is to help you make the right decision, not to persuade you to have treatment you don't need.

In his latest blog, Oskar explains why he'd personally choose a dental implant, how modern technology has made treatment more predictable than ever, and why our implant consultations are completely free.

What actually happens at a dental hygiene appointment?

A dental hygiene appointment is about much more than cleaning your teeth. Your hygienist plays an important role in helping you maintain healthy gums, prevent dental problems, and keep your smile looking and feeling its best.

During your visit, your hygienist will assess your gum health, remove plaque and tartar build-up, and provide personalised advice to help you care for your teeth and gums at home.

In our latest blog, we explain exactly what happens during a hygiene appointment and why regular visits are such an important part of your long-term oral health.

Healthy gums are the foundation of a healthy smile.

We're always grateful when patients take the time to share their experience.

Whether it's replacing missing teeth with dental implants or enhancing a smile with veneers, our goal is always to provide exceptional care, clear communication and results that patients can feel confident about.

Congratulations to this patient on their new smile, and thank you for trusting Oskar and the team throughout the treatment journey.

Why has my dentist recommended a visit with the hygienist or dental therapist?

It's a question we hear quite often.

Some patients may feel surprised when they are advised to see our dental therapist and hygienist, Eleanor Dodd, especially if their teeth feel fine and they are not experiencing any problems.

The recommendation is not about whether you have "good" or "bad" teeth.

It's about protecting the health of your gums.

While your dentist focuses on examining your teeth, assessing your oral health and identifying any treatment needs, Eleanor's role is centred on prevention and maintaining healthy gums between your regular dental health reviews.

Even with excellent brushing and flossing, plaque can build up in areas that are difficult to clean at home, and gum disease can develop without obvious symptoms.

Regular visits help us identify concerns early, reduce the risk of gum disease and support long-term oral health.

Our goal is simple: prevention, stability and helping you keep your natural teeth healthy for life.

Have you ever wondered why a particular appointment was recommended? We're always happy to explain.

At Bicton Place Dental, we are continuing to modernise the way we deliver preventive dental care.

Our dental therapist and hygienist, Eleanor Dodd, plays an important role in helping patients maintain healthy teeth and gums for life — from hygiene care and gum health support to fillings and children’s dental care.

We are also introducing complimentary intraoral scans with our trained nursing team to help improve monitoring, communication, and long-term dental health planning.

Our goal is simple: a joined-up team approach focused on prevention, early diagnosis, and helping patients stay healthy for longer.
