We recognise that prevention is far better than cure and that is why at Charminster House Dental Practice we will encourage you to have regular examinations and to maintain an excellent level of oral hygiene. The interval we will advise between your examinations will be dependent upon the status of your teeth and gums, your susceptibility to dental decay and or gum disease, as well as any individual risk factors that you may have.
Gum disease is the most common cause of tooth loss in the adult population. If you have any of these signs or symptoms you can ask your dentist to refer you to us, or alternatively we are happy to see you without a referral. Treatment of periodontitis is very successful in keeping teeth.
However the success of treatment is largely dependant upon maintaining an excellent level of oral hygiene and long-term maintenance (Supportive Periodontal Therapy).Your first appointment at Charminster House Dental Practice will be with our GDC registered Specialist in Periodontics. We will carry out a thorough examination of your teeth and gums.

My husband Mark and I have been with Charminster House Dental Practice for many years.
I have recently seen the periodontist Saffina for an assessment of my gums and subsequently this was followed by a course of appropriate treatment.
This was the first time I had met Saffina and I felt immediately at ease with her as she was so warm, welcoming and reassuring.
On each of my visits everything was carefully explained and I was treated with the utmost care and professionalism. Thank you so much.

I have been on a journey with Saffina for well over a year after years of neglect, partly down to me but also due to bad advice and poor level of care from another local practice. I have had treatment with Saffina that I never ever would have considered myself brave enough to endure. With Saffina's help, compassion, patience and capabilities I have reached the end of my journey and results have been great! I cannot thank Saffina enough for her "hand holding" approach - she has been with me every step of the way, encouraging, supporting and more importantly understanding. Thanks Saffina - you are

Received the best treatment at Charminster House. My treatment involved dealing with different specialists in the practice and prior to attending my first appointment I was nervous and stressed. Everybody in the practice treated me with such care and so professionally I cannot recommend them highly enough. They have resolved my problem and got me back to good dental care and I cannot thank them enough.

Samir saw my daughter for a same day emergency appointment when she broke off half her front tooth during an accident. He spent time explaining her options and made sure that both my daughter and myself were fully involved in her care. I felt extremely confident in his ability as a dentist and he expertly repaired her tooth with a filling material so that it looked the same as before the accident. Thanks to a brilliant job, my daughter can smile again, has had no symptoms since and the tooth shouldn’t need any further work. Really happy with our choice of dental practice and wouldn’t hesitate

Followed treatment plan and got great results.
I was developing a problem with bleeding gums and was referred to a specialist. Saffina and the team explained the cause and is worth the effort treating these things early to avoid tooth loss. I'm now confident about controlling this going forward. I needed to improve my cleaning and eventually have surgery, which went smoothly.
I recommend that if you are having gum problems not to mess around and get professional help here.
