We are working hard to source protective equipment and put measures in place to maintain social distancing. We will initially be opening for morning appointments only and will be prioritising patients based upon their needs. There may be times when we cannot offer all our treatment options that were available pre-Lockdown.
However, as soon as normal practice can resume, we will be keen to offer all of our services. It will likely be some time before dental services return to what you previously experienced as normal. Rest assured our dental teams will be doing everything we can to ensure you receive the treatment you require in the safest way.

Ruth qualified from The Royal London Dental School in 1990 and joined The White House Dental Practice. In 2003 she took over the practice and became the principal dentist. She enjoys providing a wide range of dental procedures and specialises in cosmetic dentistry and oral surgery, including the removal of impacted wisdom teeth.
It is predominantly made up of bacteria which feed off of the sugars which we eat and drink. The bacteria produce acid as a waste product which then attacks our teeth by dissolving the minerals in the tooth surface. Tooth decay results, when this occurs too frequently. Very fine hand scalers in different shapes and sizes are used to reach different parts of the teeth.
A dental filling replaces part of a tooth which has been lost because of decay or accidental damage. We will normally numb the area around the tooth, although some small fillings may not need an anaesthetic. We will remove any decay, together with any old dental filling material, using a small high speed drill.
The crown of a tooth is the visible part seen in your mouth. An artificial crown completely covers a weak tooth above the gum line and protects it. They are made of modern, aesthetic, ceramic materials or precious metal, or a combination. Dental crowns are used for cosmetic purposes to improve appearance of heavily restored teeth, functionally when a tooth has fractured, or is heavily restored and weakened by root canal treatment.
A dental bridge fixes a replacement tooth or teeth to existing natural teeth on either side of the gap. Initially we usually take impressions of your mouth, for our laboratory technician to make exact plaster models of your upper and lower teeth and gums to show how your teeth bite together. The teeth that will support the bridge are then prepared to take the fixings and ensure the bridge is not too bulky.

White House dental surgery have always been kind and professional whatever the reason for visiting. I've had regular and emergency treatments in recent months and been very happy with both.
All the staff put you at ease from entering the surgery through to walking out all patched up and good to go, the whole process is highly professional and easy to deal with.

I suffer from anxiety and physically shake when visiting the dentist.
I could not make myself go to any dentist at all, I thought I’d tried them all.
Until I met Rose who immediately put me at ease as soon as I walked in.
Not only is she wonderful to see when you need reassurance, nothing is too much for her at all.
At very short notice she will try her best to accommodate you and knowing how efficient she is, I am sure she absolutely will.
Sam is the best and most wonderful dentist of all ( and I’ve seen them all) he is just a master of his craft. He has transformed my teeth, confidence

A friendly practice, whom I have been with for many years, originally with Ian in the late 70s, then Ruth for a long time and now Sam. Helen takes great care of me as well. Rose on reception is always friendly, efficient and helpful. I'm not a fan of going, who is, but I can honestly say I am always at ease when there and they are always attentive. At least there is one White House we can rely upon to do the right thing ; )
