Home    /    Why Choose Us

Whether you are a new or existing patient, you are reading this page because your dental health matters to you. So why should you choose Heathwood Dental Practice in Crowthorne to look after your dental care?

Our patients frequently praise the personal care and service, the laughter they hear around them, and the friendly, happy environment here. 

We understand that maintaining dental health considers many factors, starting with your personal wishes. Once we have carried out a thorough and comprehensive examination of your mouth, we can discuss what, if anything, needs to be done. We can then guide you through the possible approaches, giving you as much, or as little information as you wish. This helps you to understand and choose your treatment approach, resulting in a bespoke treatment plan just for you.

You are welcome to choose which of our clinicians you wish to register with and have the reassurance that you will see them each time you return.

At Heathwood Dental Practice we understand that patients can be apprehensive about dental treatment for a variety of reasons. These often range from a previous experience, to fear of the unknown and a feeling of a "lack of control" .

Please let us know if you are worried about visiting the practice, and we will endeavour to talk through your concerns. Together we will put together a bespoke treatment plan that suits you, and progresses at a pace with which you are comfortable.

Our entire team are highly skilled and experienced in dealing with nervous patients regularly. In addition, we are able to provide conscious sedation services for those patients who prefer to undergo treatment without anxiety. Sedation removes the feelings of fear, yet as the name suggests, you remain conscious, and able to respond to the dentist. At the end of the procedure, you recover and retain no memories of the treatment.

As all of our dentists have families, we particularly understand the importance of providing treatment to our younger patients. We take a preventative approach to try and reduce the chance of dental problems later in life, using a number of techniques:

1) Dietary advice - to help avoid damaging foodstuffs.

2) Oral hygiene - teaching good habits early!

3) Preventative treatments such as fluoride varnish applications at each checkup, or fissure sealants.

4) Orthodontics - misaligned teeth are often harder to maintain. We can provide referrals to local centres of excellence in orthodontics when required. 

Between us, our team will ensure that their first experiences of dentistry are positive, so that they grow into confident well informed adult patients. Treatment for patients younger than 19, and in full time education can be provided under the NHS.
