Our Practice

Carlton House Dental – Dentistry with a Difference

At Carlton House Dental, we offer dentistry with a difference. Every treatment we provide is carefully researched and designed to exceed the trust and professional care you would expect—and deserve.

Private, Patient-Focused Care

We offer a private service, which allows us to spend more time with each patient. We take the time to understand your specific needs and preferences, and then provide treatment options tailored to you.

You remain in control of your treatment plan. We provide clear advice and information so you are fully informed about the best options for your circumstances. Using digital cameras and X-rays, we can show you exactly what’s happening with your teeth. If you prefer, you can simply relax and enjoy music during your treatment. Both downstairs surgeries are equipped with ceiling-mounted TVs for your comfort.

We consider it an honour when patients feel relaxed enough to fall asleep during treatment!

A Comfortable, Family-Friendly Environment

The practice has been designed with your comfort in mind. Our reception area is friendly and open, and the waiting area is relaxing. Families with children can enjoy our Lego table and a selection of age-appropriate toys.

Each surgery meets the highest standards of hygiene and professional care. Our autoclaves, used to sterilise instruments, are located outside the surgeries for safety and convenience.

Carlton House is fully accessible, with reception, seating, and two surgeries on the ground floor, ensuring ease of access for patients with limited mobility.

Existing Patients

Since 1995, we have been performing risk assessments for dental decay and gum disease, thanks to the guidance of a Swedish Dental Professor. Today, we also assess risks for tooth wear and oral cancer.

Our goal is to keep healthy patients healthy. Your risk assessment determines how often you need recall exams and hygienist visits, ensuring you receive the care that is right for you.

New Patients

We take a non-judgmental approach and have experience with a wide range of dental conditions. Nothing you bring to us will surprise us.

Our first step is to understand your goals—whether it’s pain relief, improved eating, addressing gum issues or headaches, or cosmetic concerns.

We take a holistic approach, focusing first on the foundations: your gums and supporting bone. That’s why we employ three hygienists, with evening and Saturday appointments available, to help you maintain healthy teeth and gums for life.

For patients with systemic conditions like diabetes, we take a proactive approach, incorporating our “Risk Assessment” concept into all care plans.

Dentistry for Under Eighteens

We are committed to helping children reach adulthood with strong, healthy teeth. Using bacteriological sampling from age five, we closely monitor oral bacteria and tailor care to prevent decay. Regular hygienist visits help ensure a 95% success rate in maintaining healthy teeth without restorations.

Since 1992, we have avoided using silver amalgam fillings in children. Instead, we use modern white filling materials, allowing a minimally invasive approach that preserves natural tooth structure and helps fillings last longer.
