A dentist near me
If you are new to the area, or you have recently had a change of office location, then you might be on the lookout for a dentist in Upper Heyford. Here at Heyford Smiles Dental Clinic our friendly team would be thrilled to welcome you to our practice and help to make you feel comfortable. We know how important communication is and we always strive to create a positive and warm environment; from having refreshments available when you arrive, to providing entertainment options during treatment. Our practice is open on Saturdays and two nights a week to help ensure that we provide accessible care for busy schedules.
What types of treatments do Heyford Smiles Dental Clinic offer?
With our dentist in Upper Heyford, as well as providing emergency dental care, our aim is to provide regular hygiene appointments and examinations in order to help prevent problems occurring. By keeping your natural teeth as healthy as possible, the need for further intervention is minimised and in turn can extend the lifespan of your teeth. Our preventive treatments include dental hygiene appointments, appointments for sensitive teeth and children’s appointments.
Where children are concerned, we know that positive experiences of our dentist in Upper Heyford from an early age can help to foster a healthy association with dental care. This reduces the likelihood of dental phobias taking hold meaning that your children are more likely to get the dental care they need throughout their lifetime.
Of course, we know that dental problems can occur, even when the most stringent cleaning routines are followed, and for various reasons. We also recognise that some patients in our community would consider themselves to be nervous patients. We are pleased to help our anxious patients to feel as comfortable as possible, including through introductions before your appointment as well as discussion and the use of music if you find it helpful. For some, anxiety may have prevented them getting the dental care they have needed for some time. If this is the case for you, be encouraged. We will always try to restore your oral health and without making comments to make you feel ashamed.
Where further intervention is needed alongside professional cleaning (scaling and polishing) you would most likely need to return to the dentist on another occasion for one of our general treatments. These include root canal therapy, extractions and oral surgery. If it is an extraction which you require we also have several options available for replacing missing teeth. It is always worthwhile discussing which of these treatments may be the most suitable for you and how long you may need for recovery before you can move forward with replacing your teeth. This is dependent on your unique needs, and so is decided on a case-by-case basis. Whether you require bridges, crown or dentures, or you are considering having a dental implant (or implants) fitted, we have something for you at our dental practice.
Alongside these aforementioned treatments, we also have cosmetic dentistry treatments available here at Heyford Smiles Dental Clinic. We are proud to offer teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, white fillings, composite bonding, braces and Invisalign clear aligners for those who wish to improve the aesthetics of their smile.
