We are tackling dental anxiety with us in Cobham

Dental anxiety is common, and different techniques have been tried over the years. As a modern dentist in Cobham, we have a relative recruit who is proving to be effective in calming the nerves of our patients. Our therapy dog Indie thoroughly enjoys spending time with our patients and brings a sense of calm to the surgery. Today, dentistry is far more complex than pulling and filling teeth. Patients seek an experience that is far more personal to them. We at Beech House Dental Practice work as a team to provide this experience to all our patients.

Sixty years of community dentistry

As a dentist in Cobham, which has stood the test of time, we are proud to have served our patients over the past six decades; some of our current patients have been with us for over forty years. Over this period, dental science and technology have made enormous strides. Our staff regularly attend seminars and training to stay up to date with developments. We are committed to ensuring that our patients receive the best treatment available.

Preventive dentistry

Modern dentistry is focused on preventive dentistry, and we encourage our patients with children to bring them into surgery from a very young age. When parents have an appointment, we suggest that they get their children with them so that they can become comfortable and familiar with the surgery’s surroundings. Our friendly, helpful staff, many of whom have children, will happily look after them while you are being treated. When a child’s turn comes to have their examination, they will be relaxed. The opportunity to examine a young patient allows us to identify any condition that may manifest itself at a later stage. We take time with our patients of all ages because it is essential to develop a relationship that allows us to enjoy a two-way discussion about hygiene and treatment.

Proper dental care centres around regular brushing and flossing in the correct manner. Regular six-monthly visits are also a vital part of dental maintenance, as regular plaque removal is essential to maintaining healthy teeth and gums. We take our cars for regular servicing to keep them, so there is no reason why we should not apply the same principle to our teeth and gums. It’s important to remember that after our baby teeth have gone, we only get one other set to last us a lifetime.

Practical and cosmetic dentistry

Our teeth have a specific purpose, and as responsible dentists in Cobham, our priority is to ensure that a patient’s teeth perform the functions they were designed for. Correcting misalignments in teeth and jaw is fundamental to ensure patients can chew their food correctly. We have several techniques and appliances that will correct dental misalignments. Our teeth must be cosmetically the best they can be, and we have many satisfied patients who can testify to our work in that area.

Going that extra step

In addition to dental treatment, we understand that there may be a desire to enjoy some aesthetic medicine. We offer non-surgical anti-wrinkle treatment in our safe and sterile treatment rooms so that you can be treated in familiar surroundings.
