Deciding to get braces is a big decision. Our team is dedicated to providing the highest quality of care, making your journey an enjoyable one where you are looked after every step of the way. We provide treatment in a relaxed environment with the latest technology on-hand to help us provide you with the best care.
Our friendly colleagues and down-to-earth approach ensures a pleasant experience for patients of all ages. All our clinical colleagues are registered with the General Dental Council and support their registration by attending courses in "Continuing Professional Development". They are a great team who help and support each other. This allows the practice to run smoothly and efficiently for the benefit of our patients.
Please note that we operate one day a week from a practice in Tavistock.
At your first visit, we will get to know you by putting you at ease and asking you some questions so that we can understand what you want from your experience, before examining your face, mouth and teeth. It works both ways: we are always happy to answer any questions that you may have. Sometimes we take an X-ray picture of your teeth. One of our orthodontists will talk to you about the positions of you teeth and jaws and will give you some treatment options. You will not be given braces at your first visit and there is currently a waiting list for NHS orthodontic treatment.
Orthodontic treatment times can vary depending on what we are trying to achieve. Treatment usually takes between 12 and 24 months to complete but some treatments can be completed sooner. Patients visit the orthodontist regularly (every 6 to 10 weeks) during this time period to review progress and to allow the braces to be adjusted.
We provide treatment in a relaxed environment with the latest technology on-hand to help us provide you with the best care. For example, our x-ray suite is fully digital, which means instant high quality images. We also use digital intraoral scanners.
Our vision is simple: when it comes to your health and your smile, we put you at the heart of everything we do.
Our priority is that you receive the highest standard of care from the second you step into our practice.
