Why private dentistry

GIFT OF TIME

We strongly believe in prevention rather than cure. We are able to offer you the gift of time – time to discuss your concerns, time to identify the best treatment options and time to carry out that treatment to your satisfaction. If we need to spend three-quarters of an hour doing a scale and polish, and then teaching someone the correct way to clean their teeth, we can.

WIDER CHOICES OF DENTAL TREATMENT

NHS dentist has to comply with a finite list of options for your treatment, whereas there are no boundaries for private treatment except the skills and experience of the dentist. So every treatment plan has a potentially broader range of options. If need an advanced technique to save a tooth – we can use this.

As we are freed from a set of rules, if you want, say, a crown made from superior materials, a denture with realistic-looking teeth or a white filling, instead of metal, we can provide these.

TREATMENT GUARANTEE

At Smile Suffolk - Ipswich, we will guarantee all private inlays, onlays, crowns, bridges, implant restorations & implant posts, and veneers for a 2 to 5 year period subject to terms and conditions.
