Services
We are a friendly dental practice situated in Totnes, Devon, dedicated to providing high quality treatment in a pleasant environment with the very best in personal service and patient care. The key to successful dental treatment is communication. You should expect to play an active part in decision making for your dental care.
A bridge is a replacement tooth or teeth attached to the adjacent natural teeth. The bridge is permanently fixed in place (unlike a denture) and only a dentist can remove it. A bridge can be made of metal, tooth-coloured porcelain, or a combination of the two. We mainly use all-porcelain bridges. There are two main types of bridges: conventional and resin bonded.
A dental crown is a 'shell' that your dentist makes to fit over the top of a tooth to strengthen it. Some people call them "caps". Crowns are used to repair damaged or decayed teeth. They can also be used to improve teeth that are discoloured, mis-shapen or misaligned. Crowns make the tooth stronger and can make a huge improvement in how it looks.
Our goal is to ensure that you benefit from the highest quality dental treatment in a relaxed and comfortable environment. Our team advise patients to attend for dental examinations on a regular basis to protect their oral health. Examinations include oral cancer health screening, x-rays and periodontal (gum) health screening.

Friendly atmosphere, everyone makes you feel relaxed and that's not easy when you go to the dentist! Jo, Debbie and Louise are all very professional but at the same time make you feel more than just a client They even check you after you've had any work done by phoning the next day..They show an interest in you as a person. If you need a dentist this is the best place to go.

Having moved to South Devon from North London the first time I telephoned Hygeia to arrange a check up, the receptionist was most professional, I knew I was going to be treated well. When I arrived for the appointment I was pleased to find the Practice had its own car park. On entering I was pleased to find a comfortable air conditioned reception area. I was dealt with in a friendly and professional manner throughout my time there. The treatment I required was clearly explained to me with the options and estimates. Well done Hygeia.

I have been a patient of Dr. Giddy at Hygeia since she came to Totnes and have been quite a handful, with a number of problems which occur as we get older! I have found her a wonderful, patient, friendly and confidence building dentist with very efficient and welcoming people around her. I would recommend the practice wholeheartedly.

We have been with Jo for several years now. At every visit she is so welcoming, reassuring and professional. She provides and excellent service and it has always been pain free! She also looks after my two small children kindly and patiently and they love coming to see her. Can not recommend her enough!

I cannot recommend Hygeia highly enough. On a pensioner's budget it is expensive - but worth every penny. From Louise’s delightful reception and customer service complete with the best coffee in town to Jo’s truly professional and gentle treatment this practice has it all. I’ve been with them since they started and have had root canal treatment, tooth removal; crowns and fillings, you name it I’ve had it without a single fault. As a confirmed wimp I do not do pain but no one can beat Jo for comfortable and thorough care. Simply the best.
