The team
Anna bought the practice in 2009 and set the fees that are on the website. James took the nervous patients because he was one. Priya will find the interdental brush that actually fits. GDC numbers on every card.
Anna qualified from Cardiff in 2003, worked in NHS and private practice in Bristol, and bought the practice on the High Street in 2009. She places and restores the implants, does the same-day crowns and most of the root canal treatment, and sets the prices, which is why they are on the website. GDC 82114.
James joined in 2015 and took the nervous patients because he was one, once. He holds a postgraduate certificate in conscious sedation and runs the sedation list on Wednesday mornings, sees most of the children, and talks to everyone at eye level. He also does the Saturday clinic. GDC 251906.
Priya qualified as a hygienist-therapist in 2012 and has been here since 2016. She runs the gum disease programme, does the children's fissure sealants and fluoride, and will find the interdental brush size that actually fits you, which nobody has ever done before. GDC 236450.
What you can expect
The hygienist is not an add-on here. Six-monthly hygiene is in the membership plan because it is what stops the fillings, and we would rather you never needed a crown.
Toothache, a broken tooth, a lost crown: ring before 10am and you are seen the same day, £95 including the temporary fix. Members are seen free.
You get a written plan with each option and its price, including the option of doing nothing. We do not sell whitening to people who came in for a filling.
Crowns, bridges and implants are guaranteed for ten years when you keep up your examinations and hygiene. Fillings for three. In writing.
A look inside
RepairsAnna
Scan, design, mill, fit. Two hours in the practice rather than two visits and a temporary. The milling machine is in the room behind reception if you want to watch.
ChildrenJames
A ride in the chair, a count of the teeth with the mirror, a sticker. The adult who is not afraid of the dentist started like this.
Nervous patientsJames
Twelve years since her last visit. The first appointment was a conversation. The second was a look. The third was a filling, with the stop signal agreed and never needed.
A new patient examination is £75 with X-rays and photographs, or £18.50 a month on the membership plan with two hygienist visits a year and 10% off treatment. Nervous? Ask for James and start with a conversation.
