Missing a tooth? Dental implants are one of the best ways to restore your smile — and they're built to last a lifetime

They sit in your jawbone just like a natural root, can be colour-matched to your existing teeth, and give you back the confidence to chew without a second thought.

Curious whether implants could be right for you? Get in touch to book a consultation:

When should you brush your teeth?

The NHS recommends that you should brush your teeth twice a day for at least 2 minutes each time. Always just before you go to bed - as night-time brushing is very important - and on one other occasion during the day (most people brush in the morning).

If you want to encourage your kids (or yourself!) to brush for at least two minutes, you can buy toothbrushing timers online- or find a song they like that is around 2 minutes long and play it every time you brush!

You may need to brush more, depending on your own dental health and needs, so it's a good idea to check in with your dentist if you're not sure what's right for you.
