Why Shaw patients choose us for dental check-ups
Shaw and Crompton patients often tell us the drive is worth it for a practice where they feel genuinely looked after. Our dentists welcome people from Shaw for routine care, for cosmetic treatments like whitening and bonding, and for bigger plans such as implants and dentures.
We provide both NHS and private dental care. At each check-up your dentist examines your teeth, gums, tongue and soft tissues, checks old fillings and crowns, and takes X-rays when they are needed. Everything is explained in plain English, and you will always be told about your options and their costs before anything happens.
Our dentists keep up to date with the latest developments in dentistry, and other dentists in the area refer their difficult or specialist cases to us. That experience is there for every patient, from a first check-up to complex restorative work.
