Services
Emergency appointments are available daily. Once they are booked for the current day, the following day does not become available to book until the morning of the following day so you may be asked to call back then if all the appointments for the current day have been booked. We are continuing to try our best to offer advice and emergency appointments where possible to anyone in genuine need, whether you have been seen here before or not.
A filling is a way to restore a tooth damaged by decay back to its normal function and shape. During a filling procedure, the decayed tooth material is removed, the affected area is cleaned and then the filling is placed in to the cleaned out cavity. The filling is then smoothed and shaped accordingly.
Crowns are one of the methods by which teeth can be rebuilt. If you have a tooth with extensive damage or decay, and a filling would not be appropriate, your dentist may recommend a crown. The tooth is prepared and the crown then covers the damaged tooth to prevent further decay. Crowns can be metal, metal covered with porcelain, or entirely porcelain.
Your dentist may recommend a bridge if you have only a few teeth missing. It is important to replace missing teeth even if you are not concerned about your appearance because the gap allows the remaining teeth to drift out of position. This may eventually affect their function. The bridge is effectively a row of crowns connected together in one piece but made to look like individual teeth.
When a cavity is large and extends into the inner part of the tooth containing the nerves, your dentist may recommend a root canal treatment (also referred to as endodontic treatment). If a tooth is broken or a cavity or hole becomes so large that it reaches into the root canal, then bacteria may enter and destroy the nerves.

Highly recommended
After having a bad experience with a dentist in a nearby town I was anxious about my next dental appointment. I need not have been. Dr Duncan Hannah is very considerate and took time to give me impartial advice which would benefit me and preserve my dental health, rather than enrich himself. Dr Hannah is very thorough and I have had my confidence restored because of his decency and professionalism. The reception staff & dental nurses are all kind, courteous and friendly. The premises are located in a beautiful building overlooking the Pavilion Gardens and are everything one

Only ever interested in you from a financial stand point. Receptionists and nurses are friendly but the actual dentists themselves couldn’t careless weather your in pain or not. Aren’t afraid to drop you like a rock if you need to cancel an appointment or reschedule. Wasted too much of my money and time there
