Just to let you know that we open for all procedures. We have introduced even more stringent cross-infection control measures. We completely change the air in the surgery between patients, and you will notice plastic coverings everywhere! We ask you to arrive on time for your appointments so that waiting room time is minimalised.
It is important not to let your dental health go unchecked and allow potential problems to worsen. Regular dental check-ups include assessment of teeth for decay, gums for periodontal disease and the rest of the mouth for signs of oral cancer. Online booking now available for certain clinics only. For bookings outside of these times or for combination dental and hygiene please phone the practice.

The ergonomics incorporated into the design means that the practice is light, open, comfortable, relaxing and safe. Over the years there has been a substantial investment for the benefit of our patients.

Prevention is always better than cure. We eat and live healthily to avoid problems later in life, and we should also take proper care of our teeth gums and mouth to prevent potentially painful and expensive problems. This means regular and thorough brushing and oral hygiene, sensible diet control and regular checkups with your dentist.
Crowns are an ideal way to rebuild teeth which have been broken, or have been weakened by decay or a very large filling. The crown fits right over the remaining part of the tooth, making it strong and giving it the shape and contour of a natural tooth. Crowns are sometimes also known as 'caps'. Crowns are made of a variety of materials and new materials are being introduced all the time.
Sealants are a safe and painless way of protecting your child's (or your own) teeth from decay. A sealant is a protective plastic coating, which is applied to the biting surfaces of the back teeth. The sealant forms a hard shield that keeps food and bacteria from getting into the tiny grooves in the teeth and causing decay.

I can't thank you enough. My experience with dentists have been horrowing to say the least. Crescent Dental Clinic has restored my faith in dentists. Thank you to David, Harriett and the kind receptionist for putting me at ease. Looking forward for the next session.....never thought I would ever say this.

As a patient of the Crescent Dental Practice, that has been shielded for the last 4 months I was grateful for the detailed briefing provided by David and Fran. They took great care to explain all the safety procedures now in place and what was expected of me. Starting with a review, hand gel wash plus face mask and finishing with advice not to touch my phone etc. until after the last hand rub. Thank you for providing a safe surgery in addition to the many years looking after my teeth. For me having a dentist located on the ground floor with double doors (open) to a garden is an added and welcome

David has totally transformed my teeth over the last 3 months using a variety of techniques, skills and planning. You won't be disappointed if you visit him, take his advice and then let him carry out his suggested plan. I am very, very happy with the work he has done for me and have no hesitation whatsoever in completely recommending him. I should have had my plan performed years ago but at least it's done now. Well done to David and his assistant, Harriet. Superb!
