Treatments
Does Invisalign hurt?
Mild pressure for a few days per aligner is normal — it settles quickly and means it's working.
How long does whitening last?
Results typically last 12–24 months depending on diet, smoking, and oral hygiene habits.
Are veneers permanent?
Veneers require a small amount of enamel removal, so they're considered a permanent treatment.
Do implants feel natural?
Yes — once healed, implants look, feel, and function just like your natural teeth.
Booking & Payment
Can I pay monthly?
Yes — we offer 0% finance plans on most treatments over 6 to 24 months.
Do you accept NHS patients?
We're a private practice, but we're happy to advise on NHS alternatives where appropriate.
What's my first visit like?
A full exam, digital X-rays if needed, and an honest options-and-costs chat — no pressure.
Can I book online?
Yes, you can book directly through our website or call the practice.
Emergencies
Do you treat emergencies?
Yes, we hold same-day emergency slots plus an out-of-hours number for existing patients.

Aftercare
How do I clean aligners?
