Creating beautiful smiles

Most children and adults should see their dentist and hygienist for a regular cleaning and check-up every 12 months. Tobacco and alcohol use, diabetes, pregnancy, periodontal and gum disease, poor oral hygiene are some of the many factors that your dentist takes into consideration when deciding how often you need your dental check-up. Patients at a greater risk of oral diseases should have dental check-ups more often.

Our dental hygienist at Floss and Smile ensures your gums are healthy and your teeth are thoroughly clean. During your appointment, they will assess gum health, remove plaque and prevent gum disease, perform a deep cleaning and scaling, and conclude with a polishing treatment.

Before your check-up, brush and floss your teeth thoroughly. Be prepared to discuss any concerns or changes in your oral health with your dentist and let us know in advance if you are particularly nervous. We’re here to help.

It's very common to feel anxious about dental visits. At Floss and Smile our whole team, from front of house onwards, is trained and experienced in helping nervous patients. We can chat to you about your concerns ahead of your appointment and we’ll never rush you. Our practice in Dunstable is designed to be modern and bright, with beautiful surroundings - not how you may imagine a dentist to be! And we encourage our patients to listen to music or even watch TV on our ceiling screens, to take their mind off treatment.

Veneers are thin porcelain sheets designed to mimic natural tooth surfaces, applied to the front of your teeth like false nails. This quick procedure instantly creates a flawless smile, gaining popularity due to celebrity endorsements and the rise of Hollywood smiles. Dental veneers are popular among Floss and Smile patients looking for a quick and long-lasting cosmetic solution to improve the appearance of their smile.

Dental bonding offers a secure and comfortable method to enhance your smile and increase your self-confidence. Using composite (tooth-coloured) filling material, we can reshape your natural teeth, close gaps, and achieve a new smile. This simple treatment requires no injections or drilling and can be completed in a single visit to us in Dunstable!

Implants can last many years if cared for properly. Many implants have been in place for more than 40 years.

Candidates for dental implants typically need to have good oral health and adequate bone structure in their jaw to support the implant. Your dentist will carry out a thorough assessment before deciding if dental implants are right for you. If not, they will be able to recommend alternative cosmetic dental treatment options to help restore your smile.

Yes, dental implants are considered a safe and effective treatment option for replacing missing teeth. At Floss and Smile, our dentists have a special interest in dental implant surgery and have restored hundreds of smiles over the years, using gold standard implants.

The journey to receiving dental implants varies based on personal factors like oral health, potential need for procedures such as bone grafting, and the body's healing response. Typically, from the first consultation to achieving a complete restoration, the process spans several months. This period allows for the implant to fuse securely with the jawbone (known as osseointegration), a critical phase lasting approximately 3 to 6 months.
