Our Ethos
Prevention is better than cure
At Burwell Dental Surgery we focus firmly on preventive dentistry. This is where the joint efforts of the dentist, the hygienist and you, the patient, help to reduce the amount of dental treatment needed to keep your mouth healthy.
It is equally important to have regular check-ups when you have lost all or most of your teeth, as we screen for mouth cancer and denture-related infections. If it’s necessary we’ll recommend a course of treatment to get your mouth into a healthy condition and work out a maintenance plan to help you keep it that way.
We’ll show you the best methods of brushing and flossing, offer advice on which oral care products are most suitable for you and discuss diet and high-risk habits such as smoking.
Improve total health – reduce risk
Research has identified periodontal gum disease as a risk factor for heart and lung disease, diabetes and premature babies.
By guiding you towards effective oral hygiene and by providing regular check-ups, we help you prevent gum disease and the risk of complications.
Boost confidence
It’s immensely satisfying to see people who feel they’ve neglected their teeth gain in confidence as their mouths are transformed following a tailor-made dental treatment plan.
We take pride in building a rapport with patients so they feel able to discuss dental treatment, knowing we will take their views into account.
Our goal is for all our patients to be happy with the appearance of their teeth and gums, but only within the context of a full dental health screening. Although cosmetic dentistry is increasingly in the news, oral health will always be our primary concern.
