As a preventive family practice we encourage children to regularly attend the dunfermline dentist at an early age. They are our patients of the future and we are keen for them to want to go to the dentist. Our preventive ethos means that we work closely with our hygienists and we encourage our patients to become members of our dentist plans. This helps to encourage regular attendance to the dentist dunfermline and so minimise any problems in the future.
Using the latest techniques available, we can improve our patients' smiles at the dentist dunfermline.
Using veneers and crowns, unsightly and discoloured teeth can be easily and permanently treated. Simple problems such as space closure, reshaping and correcting minor blemishes can be treated using Cosmetic Bonding. An adhesive resin filling is bonded to the tooth and a superb result obtained without drilling and anaesthetic.
Unsightly amalgam fillings can now be replaced with tooth-coloured cosmetic fillings to give a truly natural appearance to the teeth.

Dental Implants are a modern method of replacing missing teeth and fixing loose dentures. A titanium tooth root is placed in the jaw under the gum. Once the implant has "taken" a crown is fitted to it to complete the treatment. Implants can be used as retainers to correct the embarrassing problem of loose dentures. They feel and function just like natural teeth and are the permanent answer to tooth loss.

Our dental hygienists work closely with our dunfermline dentist to ensure that our patients keep their mouths healthy, preventing problems before they arise.
"Prevention is always better than the cure!"
We can carry out tooth whitening for suitable patients. There is a choice of in-surgery treatment using stronger materials to give a faster result or a more gentle approach using custom-made trays and home bleaching gels. Whitening helps our patients achieve a more youthful appearance and in more deeply discoloured teeth, an improvement in colour of 3 shades can be achieved.

We offer a choice of 2 dental plans at our surgery.
Our Essentials Plan suits patients who have lower dental needs and for whom an annual examination and 2 hygienist visits would maintain their dental health. For them, if treatment is needed, a discount of 20% on the private fee is given.
Our St. Davids Plan is a full maintenance contract including examination, hygiene and treatment visits, but excluding laboratory fees and implants.
Payments for these plans are taken by monthly direct debit.
