Preventive dentistry has been around for some time but has only recently been recognised by patients as a means to manage their dental care. As a forward-thinking dentist in Rickmansworth, we have been educating our patients for a long time about the benefits of preventive dentistry over reactive dentistry. We want you not to see us as a dentist in Rickmansworth who only relieves dental pain or discomfort; we want you to avoid getting dental pain or discomfort in the first place. We don’t want your dental visits to be motivated by pain but rather by desire based on knowledge and understanding that you must maintain your teeth to preserve them. After all, you want to have your teeth for the duration of your life if possible, and it is possible!
The less invasive dentistry, the better
At Berry Lane Dental, we have embraced technology and invested heavily in the latest available to provide you with the most up-to-date treatments. Dental science is constantly working on ways to conduct procedures that are less and less invasive. This progression has the effect of reducing infection, discomfort and recovery time. All of this enhances the patient’s experience and reduces dental anxiety. Therefore, we have also invested in ensuring that our team remains updated on how to operate the latest equipment, interpret the data and learn about the latest techniques in dentistry.
Providing dental care in the twenty-first century
A dentist in Rickmansworth in the twenty-first century needs to be able to respond and adapt to patients who require more than just a tooth pulled or a filling. We must listen to our patients’ requests and understand their expectations so that we can deliver personal, individual care. Patients are now better informed and want to feel that they are in charge of what happens to their teeth and gums. After making a diagnosis, we will spend time explaining your condition and the treatment options available to you. You are invited to ask as many questions as you feel necessary to allow you to make the final decision regarding which treatment you want.
A family affair
As a community dental clinic, we want you to receive the type of treatment that we would expect to receive ourselves. We want your children to grow up feeling comfortable and free of dental anxiety when they visit our surgery. We encourage you to bring your children in from an early age when you have an appointment with us. Our well-trained, friendly staff will take care of them while you have your treatment. The more visits they make to our surgery before their first appointment, the less anxious they will be when their first appointment comes around. We will also help educate your children on the correct way to look after their teeth.
Dental treatment and more!
We are proud to offer a full range of treatments, including simple teeth whitening, root canals, teeth straightening and tooth replacement. Furthermore, since we have training in facial aesthetics, we offer non-invasive facial enhancements in our safe, sterile treatment rooms for those who want to feel a little bit younger.
