When was the last time you visited a dentist in West Byfleet?
We understand that a visit to the dentist may not always be appealing or be at the forefront of your plans, but visiting a dentist is essential in ensuring you maintain healthy teeth and gums. If you cannot remember the last time you visited a dentist and you are based in West Byfleet, this is the perfect opportunity to visit our dental practice Byfleet Dental, where our dentist in West Byfleet will be able to attend to all your dental needs.
Our practice: Byfleet Dental
Byfleet Dental was established to provide a high quality and family oriented dental practice to our patients. Alongside offering general dentistry, we offer dental treatments within the areas of cosmetic dentistry and preventive dentistry, as well as treatments for facial aesthetics, and to replace missing teeth.
General dentistry at Byfleet Dental
At Byfleet Dental, we encourage our patients to book regular dental appointments as part of their routine to maintain good oral health. Although this varies for each of our patients, on average routine dental appointments are scheduled every six months.
If you have not visited our practice Byfleet Dental before, not to worry, because as a new patient when you visit us, our dentist in West Byfleet will take your full medical and dental history. Our dentist in West Byfleet will also use the appointment to examine your teeth, gums and mouth thoroughly in order to identify if there are any dental issues.
You will also be asked by our dentist if you have had any dental problems in the past and will also use the time to discuss your health and any dietary issues you may have. This is important, as your general health and diet can be detrimental to your teeth and overall oral health. For example, people who have diabetes are more likely to develop dental health problems which is why we obtain your medical history. Also, dietary choices such as regularly consuming alcohol can also affect your oral health, along with smoking.
If our dentist does not identify any dental issues, you will be advised when you should return back to our practice for another routine check-up and you may be recommended some improvements to your teeth cleaning habits, such as flossing and interdental brushes, to help maintain a good oral regime until your next appointment.
If it has been identified that you may require further treatment, this will be explained to you and you will be provided with a detailed treatment plan. You will also be given the opportunity to discuss the treatment with our dentist so you are fully informed and can voice any concerns you may have.
Dental hygiene at Byfleet Dental
At times, we may refer our patients to one of our hygienists for a hygiene appointment. This is when we feel you would benefit from having our dental hygiene treatment. This treatment is usually carried out by our dental hygienist in order to remove plaque which has built up over time, usually in harder to reach areas.
