Treatment to help you experience your perfect smile

At Eastgate Dental Surgery we are committed to delivering optimum standards of dental care for patients of all ages. That is why we provide a full range of general dental treatments, from routine examinations to root canal therapy. Routine check-ups are the key to maintaining good oral health and we advise all our patients to attend examinations every 6 to 12 months according to NICE guidelines. We will examine your mouth and check for early warning signs and symptoms and with regular visits we can make sure we can catch any problems before they occur.

Dental implants have taken the world by storm and are regarded as the most advantageous solution to missing teeth. Implants are recommended in cases where a patient has lost teeth as a result of trauma or injury, decay or the aging process. Missing teeth have a huge impact on a patient's confidence as they feel like they can’t smile, cover their mouth often and often have troubles eating certain foods. Replacing the missing teeth with implants can have positive implications on confidence and self-esteem, often changing patient lives.

Here at Eastgate Dental Surgery we offer a range of orthodontic systems. Orthodontic systems can help patients who feel that they have:

• Crooked teeth

• Misaligned teeth

• Protruding (goofy) teeth

• Spaces between the teeth

• Crowded teeth

The good news is that braces don’t need to be metal or train tracks! And they don’t need to be worn for 2 years plus. Short term orthodontics gives our patients options of fixed or removable clear braces that can be worn for as little as 4-6 months!

NHS

Eastgate Dental Surgery prides itself in providing high standards of care to all our NHS patients. We have a great nursing team and wonderful dentists who always put patient care and comfort at the heart of everything we do. We currently have a waiting list for NHS patients.

Please Be Warned

Due to the high number of people wishing to receive NHS funded dental treatment and very long waiting lists, your dental practice has no choice but to remove patients who have not attended for two years or more from the NHS list. Patients must attend regularly to keep up their NHS dental registration. Many of our patients forget to make regular visits to see their dentist. And then, before they realise, it’s been over two years. Here at Eastgate Dental we try to remind patients when they are due for their dental examinations via text message, email or letters. However, we often find that many of our communications get returned as patients do not update their contact details with us.

What to do to keep your place on the NHS patient list:

Always attend any appointment booked, or cancel the appointment more than 24 hours in advance.
Make sure you book your next dental examination before you leave the practice. Whether it’s three, six, nine or even twelve months in advance, our reception teams will help you make your next appointment, and send you reminders nearer the time as well.
Check and update your contact details. Be sure they are correct, especially your email address and mobile phone. If we can keep in touch with you, then we can help you keep on track so you don’t miss your appointment.
If you are caring for an older person, then help them to keep up their registration too by tracking their appointments with them.
