Your first step to a healthier smile

A dental consultation is a non-invasive appointment where we thoroughly assess your oral health and discuss your dental needs. During your consultation, you can expect:

• Comprehensive Examination
  A full-mouth check-up, including evaluation of existing fillings, previous treatments, gum health, and early signs of decay or other issues.

• Digital X-Rays
  High-resolution images that help us accurately assess the condition of your teeth, jawbone, and surrounding structures for precise diagnosis.

• Personalised Treatment Discussion
  An open conversation about your dental goals, any concerns you may have, and tailored treatment options to suit your lifestyle and health needs.

Regular dental consultations are essential for preventing issues before they arise and maintaining a confident, healthy smile.

We take great pride in providing high-quality dental care in a comfortable and welcoming environment. Our goal is to ensure your visits are as pleasant and stress-free as possible.

Healthy gums are essential for maintaining a healthy mouth. Gingivitis, a condition where the gums become inflamed, red, and swollen, often leads to bleeding during brushing. If left untreated, long-standing gingivitis can progress into periodontal (gum) disease, which may cause more severe oral health issues.

To assess gum health, your dentist will conduct a thorough examination, including measuring the spaces between your teeth and gums to check for signs of periodontal disease.

If treatment is necessary, your dentist can provide appropriate care. For more complex cases, you may be referred to Mrs. Zelda Wiese, who has a special interest in clinical periodontology.

A dental implant is a titanium post that serves as an artificial tooth root, providing a strong foundation for a replacement tooth or bridge. Implants are a great option for individuals who have lost one or more teeth due to gum disease, injury, or other reasons.

If you're considering dental implants, speak with your dentist to determine whether they are a suitable option for you. If appropriate, your dentist will refer you for a consultation, where a specialist will assess your needs, provide treatment recommendations, and offer a detailed estimate and treatment plan.

Saving your natural tooth with expert care

When a tooth’s nerve becomes infected or inflamed due to deep decay, injury, or repeated dental procedures, root canal treatment can relieve pain and prevent the need for extraction. At Cottenham Dental Practice, our skilled dentists use advanced techniques to clean and seal the affected tooth, preserving its function and appearance.

What to expect:

• Thorough examination and digital imaging to diagnose the problem

• Gentle removal of infected tissue from inside the tooth

• Cleaning, disinfecting, and shaping of the root canals

• Sealing the canals and restoring the tooth with a filling or crown

Root canal treatment is highly effective at saving teeth and relieving discomfort — helping you maintain a healthy, natural smile for years to come.

Restore your smile and confidence

We offer custom-made dentures designed to replace missing teeth comfortably and naturally. Whether you need a full set or partial dentures, our expert team will work with you to create a solution that fits well, looks great, and helps you eat and speak with confidence.

Our denture services include:

• Full Dentures for patients missing all teeth in an arch

• Partial Dentures to fill gaps when some natural teeth remain

• Immediate Dentures are placed on the same day as extractions for convenience

• Denture Repairs and Adjustments to ensure comfort and longevity

We focus on personalised care to help you enjoy a functional, beautiful smile every day.

Preventive care that protects your smile

Regular hygiene appointments are essential for maintaining healthy teeth and gums. Our experienced hygienists provide thorough cleanings and tailored advice to support your at-home routine.

• Professional Cleaning
  Removes plaque, tartar, and surface stains to help prevent gum disease and decay.

• Gum Health Assessment
  We evaluate your gum tissue to detect early signs of inflammation or periodontal disease.

• Oral Hygiene Advice
  Personalised tips on brushing, flossing, and diet to help you maintain optimal oral health between visits.

Routine cleanings not only keep your smile bright — they also support your overall health and well-being.

Surgical tooth extraction is a more complex procedure in which surgical access is necessary to fully remove a tooth. Unlike a standard extraction, it often involves making an incision in the gum or removing bone around the tooth to ensure its complete removal. This approach is typically used for teeth that are impacted, broken beneath the gum line, or unable to be extracted through conventional methods.

Enhance your smile and facial aesthetics

We offer Botox injections performed by experienced professionals to help you achieve a smoother, more youthful appearance. Botox is a safe, minimally invasive treatment that relaxes specific facial muscles, reducing wrinkles and fine lines around the mouth, forehead, and eyes.

Why choose Botox at Cottenham Dental?

• Reduce smile lines, crow’s feet, and forehead wrinkles

• Manage conditions like excessive teeth grinding (bruxism) or gummy smiles

• Migraines

• Quick, virtually painless treatments with no downtime

• Tailored treatment plans to enhance your natural look

Our goal is to help you look and feel your best — naturally.

Straighten your teeth discreetly and comfortably

At Cottenham Dental Practice, we offer Invisalign®, a modern orthodontic solution that uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gently shift your teeth into their ideal position. Invisalign is an excellent alternative to traditional braces — especially for adults and teens who want a subtle way to improve their smile.

Benefits of Invisalign include:

• Nearly invisible — wear them confidently without metal brackets or wires

• Removable — eat, drink, and maintain oral hygiene with ease

• Customized — tailored treatment plans designed with advanced 3D imaging technology

• Comfortable — smooth plastic aligners reduce irritation compared to braces

Our experienced team will guide you through the entire process, from consultation to your beautiful new smile.
