Accurately, not reassuringly
The first visit is a longer filling: numb, pressure, water, the whine of the drill. Then a mould or a scan, and a temporary crown glued on. The temporary is the annoying part — it feels bulky for about three days, your tongue will not leave it alone, and it can come off on something chewy. That is not an emergency; ring us and we will re-cement it. The second visit is five minutes and usually needs no injection at all.
The stop signal
Raise your left hand and we stop — then, not at a convenient moment. If something feels sharp during treatment it almost always means the anaesthetic needs topping up, which takes two minutes and is completely ordinary. Saying so is not a nuisance and it is not being difficult.
Nervous about the dentist?
Turn this on and we will explain everything — what each treatment actually feels like, what the noises are, and how to make us stop. It stays on as you move around the site.

Repairs
-
White filling
£140 – £260
Decay removed and replaced with tooth-coloured composite, shaped and hardened with a blue light. One visit.
-
Root canal, front tooth
£380 – £480
The infected nerve is removed, the canal cleaned and sealed, and the access hole filled. It saves a tooth that would otherwise come out.
-
Root canal, back tooth
£620 – £850
The same treatment on a molar, which has three or four canals instead of one and often needs a crown afterwards to stop it splitting.
