We respond rapidly when referring patients to specialist (e.g. orthodontist, Glasgow dental hospital) and screen every patient for oral cancer. For all our crowns, bridge and denture work (prosthetic) we only use dental laboratories which are registered with the Medical Devises Agency.
• Patient education – communications between dentist and patient have never been more important. We recognise that increasingly our patients want to find out about preventive oral health care and talk about different treatment options. We are happy to spend time with you discussing the simple, yet important, things we often take for granted like proper brushing and flossing techniques as well as dietary advice. There might be other occasions when we can show you your x-rays to help us to show you potential problem areas.
