"The entire team, from the reception team, dental nurse and the dentist herself, were all amazing when seeing my son. Huge excitement from both myself and my son about his lovely shiny teeth and a renewed interest, from y my son, in keeping his teeth clean. Great practice – thank you."
"Really lovely dentist and staff. I’m quite a nervous patient and they were so lovely, looking after me and making me feel relaxed."
"I referred myself after being unhappy with treatment I had received elsewhere. I was amazed by the time, patience and professionalism offered by the practices staff. I was treated by Dr. Sneha Kubal whom I cannot praise enough. The treatment she offered was incredibly thorough and very successful."
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.
