We're really excited to be working on a new website, that will be a beautiful mine of information for new patients for existing patients for dentists and healthcare professionals - For everyone!

The Current fee guide gives you all the guideline costs for common treatments here at the Natural Smile. Its is almost impossible to give you a totally accurate cost from a fee guide, there are just too many variables in each person and in each treatment. A good example to illustrate this will be the cost of a filling.
We aim to 'loosen' and removed the filling intact, rather than drilling it away, in as few pieces as possible, a technique known as 'chunking'. Detailed assessment from x-ray of what is 'locking' the filling in to assess how it can be most straightforwardly removed.
Using a very fine sharp high speed bur (drill) we cut a channel around the outside of the filling and, if necessary section it into pieces, releasing it at the points identified and enabling it to be lifted out in 'chunks' - a new dental bur is used each time to ensure accurate cutting and easy removal.Use of high volume suction and continual addition of water spray are supplied to the site where the amalgam is being removed.

At The Natural Smile we have a lot of experience of using biocompatible materials in many different situations; we have been using them for a long time with great results. These materials not only produce excellent aesthetics, but their biocompatibility ensures that they integrate with the body extremely well and in the case of Biodentine can actually promote healing of damaged tissue.
This is a new scheme that came into being last year and here at The Natural Smile we are happy to offer this service, although we do believe that in the long run it is better for you to see the dentist due to the limitations listed below. Additionally there is some paperwork that we need to complete with you by law, meaning that it will take us longer on the first direct access visit to see you so the first visit must be for 60 minutes.

I have suffered with problematic teeth since a young age. Throughout my twenties and thirties I've seen lots of different dentists who have all generally left me feeling pretty traumatised and definitely down about my teeth.
Nicola has given me new hope and the Natural Smile dental practise is an absolute pleasure to visit. All the staff are lovely, the practise is clean and bright and their ethos is inspiring.
I travel from London to Bristol to fix my teeth and it is definitely worth the journey. I 100% recommend the Natural Smile! : )

When I attended my first appointment at The Natural Smile I immediately felt at home, that I was in the right place for me and this has proved to be the case.
Nicola is an excellent dentist who takes great pride in her work and can only be described as passionate about teeth. She takes an holistic approach and looks at your teeth in relation to your body as a whole. A lot of thought goes into what she does. Obviously, she looks for any decay that needs to be dealt with but she also takes into account whether your teeth are functional for their purpose e.g. biting/chewing and attention is paid

I've been a patient with NS for about 3 years and I cannot praise them enough. I don't use the word lightly when I say I was traumatised by my past dentists and Nicola's patience and kindness with me has made a world of difference as I get my teeth up to scratch. Nicola and the team are helping me overcome my anxiety and empowering me, I may even go as far as saying I look forward to the dentist now! :)

As soon as you step through the door, The Natural Smile's friendly receptionists will put you at ease with their reassuring manner. In fact, all the staff are incredibly nice and highly professional!
Check-ups are more in-depth than those I had been used to, and Dr Mei-An clearly explained the process to me along the way. A small dental procedure was carried out very smoothly. I was not left with doubts and unanswered questions as with previous dentists I’d been to.
The hygienist, Carina, was similarly thorough and also gave me tailored advice for maintaining my dental health – something

I have been with Nicola at this practice since it's inception. And in that time my dental health has improved considerably. Everything now feels just right, and all previous dental work has either been improved upon or replaced. Nicola and her staff are always a pleasure to meet, and the attention to detail at the Natural Smile and their patient focus is second to none.

My wife and I both go to Natural Smile. My wife sees Nicola and Trudy, and I see Meh-An. My wife has had a fairly complex treatment plan. However, Nicola has always been extremely competent and professional, and she is passionate about oral health and excellent dentistry and this is reflected in the treatment that the team offer. Meh-An also has the same ethos and professionalism. Would thoroughly recommend the Natural Smile practice ,especially if you are frightened of dentists!

A dental practice that is worth visiting, whether for routine check-ups or professional treatment. The reception staff are friendly and very careful and patient with patients' inquiries. Dr Mei-An and her assistant are very professional in the treatment. During each operation, they will explain in detail the purpose and tell the patient how they feel about this operation. For the first time I filled my teeth, I hardly felt any tension, and the anesthesia and various discomforts disappeared completely after one day.

I can't thank The Natural Smile enough, for the amazing dental work they performed on me. At the beginning of the year I made a decision to make a big investment in my health. For the work I wanted doing I knew I had to find the right dental practice. I spent a long time researching, and I couldn't find anywhere locally that I felt comfortable with. I came across The Natural Smile, which seemed to tick all the boxes, and after speaking with them I decided it was worth making the long journey from Cornwall to pay them a visit. After my initial appointment I knew I had found the right place. I had

Thank you, thank you, thank you! To everyone at the Natural Smile Dentist dental practice. My teeth are in fantastic condition after three months of extensive work. Thanks to Nicola's detailed examination highlighting potential problems that went undetected from my previous dental provider. Great team and highly recommend.
