We’re committed to providing open and honest information about all areas of your dental treatment, and we aim to make your visits to The Parade relaxed and enjoyable.

"Following a consultation with Michael Page, who explained in great detail the procedure and time-scale, I decided to go ahead with a dental implant. The service I received was excellent and I am extremely happy with the outcome. "
"My incisor teeth had become discoloured and worn down and my bite non-existent. After fairly extensive treatment I can once again smile, without embarrassment and use my teeth to eat with confidence. I am really pleased with the whole experience and would highly recommend the practice to others. "
"Words cannot express the positive impact dental implants have had on my life. Now I am able to relax and smile, I can simply be myself. Without doubt the incredible skill, care and understanding of Adrian changed my world. The wonderful aesthetics and knowing that my mouth is healthy is priceless. "
Whitening can be an important part of a smile makeover. We always check the suitability of your teeth, as it may not be recommended for some patients with high sensitivity. It’s important to know that we may not be able to treat all of your teeth: whitening can’t alter the colour of fillings, crowns, veneers, for example. Your dentist can explain and suggest any options open to you.
We do understand that some people really struggle with dental treatment. But we have lots of ways to help put you at ease. Please just tell us how you feel and what worries you, and then we can work together to decide on the right approach.
Generally we recommend twice yearly check-ups every six months. However, this varies on a case by case basis. Your Bupa Dental Care dentist will talk to you about when and how often we need to see you.
No, Bupa Dental Care practices are open to everyone. If you do have Bupa dental insurance, at selected practices we can guide you through your claim.
First, please check that our practice offers the services you’re looking for, then simply use the referral form on our contact page. Do feel free to give us a call and tell us what you’re looking for.
