It is impossible to overstate the importance of dentures to the wearer yet they remain one of the most challenging aspects of modern dentistry. As dental health in the population improves, more patients feel embarrassed about wearing dentures and wish to keep the fact secret. Naturally, as dental professionals, we frequently notice patients who wear dentures - as do their family and friends.
Natural tooth shade fillings replace silver or gold fillings with a more natural looking tooth-coloured material. Since teeth are translucent, dark fillings cause the whole tooth to appear darker when viewed from the side. Replacing older dark fillings with natural tooth-coloured fillings will keep your smile glowing!
Periodontal (gum) diseases, including gingivitis and periodontitis, are serious infections that, left untreated, can lead to tooth loss. The word periodontal literally means 'around the tooth'. Periodontal disease is a chronic bacterial infection that affects the gums and bone supporting the teeth.
The whitening process is carried out using a special bleaching gel in thin vinyl trays that are custom made to fit your mouth. Home whitening takes around a month and it's important to emphasise that results are permanent. It's also a very cost effective way of improving appearance.

A good result achieved with Dental White Beauty whitening treatment home kit, supervision, and subsequent cosmetic composite resin restorations to achieve a very pleasing result.A great example of an interim stage of whitening, concentrating on the upper teeth initially until there is an obvious improvement, and then whitening the lower teeth to achieve an excellent result.
This lady felt her teeth could be brighter so we decided she should use custom made whitening trays with Dental White Beauty at home. We were both very pleased with the result.

Wonderful Dental Practice. Very friendly staff starting from the receptionist. My partner has been a client for years and the practice has been fantastic when he has had problems or emergencies. The money spent in both our plans is totally worth it. I would recommend this practice to anyone.

Have followed Gavin from two other dental practices to Cheriton DP. He is very professional caring and he makes you feel very relaxed when having treatment. He is very understanding and patient with our daughter who loves to come to dental appointments as many years ago she had a horrible experience at a D. P. Our other daughters with their children see Gavin as well. Many many thanks to Gavin and his nurses for taking care of our teeth over many years. Gavin your are one in a million. The hygienists are professional and informative.

Efficient, reassuring and relaxed visit as usual. I am always treated as a person and not a patient in the chair.

I have been coming to Dr Robin Hughes at Cheriton Dental Practice for about 23 years. Throughout that time I feel I have had the absolute best treatment possible. I have had numerous occasions when I needed an appointment fairly quickly due to a filling coming out or something has happened and there has never been a problem to be seen. I even had toothache one weekend and Dr Hughes turned up at the surgery on the Saturday morning to sort out the problem. Only this week I had to see him unexpectedly as a filling had come out. I was quite amazed as to how quickly I was able to be seen and to get

A lot of changes lately at this practise, I have now had three different dentist in the past two years, personal changes at reception not for the better, reception personal should be more professional. Price for check-up and treatment have gone up since my last check-up. Will be looking for another dentist..

Absolutely love my dentist! We've been together for over 30 years and I wouldn't go anywhere else. The practice has an incredible standard of hygiene and infection control. All the staff are friendly and professional. Gavin is particularly courteous and I have always received exceptional treatment. Worth every penny.
