About Dental Distinction

Dental Distinction provides caring modern dentistry for individuals and families in Colchester, based in Wivenhoe High Street on the outskirts of the town. The practice is described as smaller and privately owned, with routine examinations and emergency appointments available most days, aiming to make it convenient to book an appointment that suits patients. Treatments mentioned include teeth whitening to lighten the natural colour of teeth without removing tooth surface, dental implants for people who have lost teeth due to periodontal disease, injury or other reasons, and extractions in orthodontics when teeth are crowded and space is needed for straightening. Gum disease and periodontal disease are also specifically addressed, with plaque identified as the primary cause. For patients who feel nervous or anxious, the practice highlights gentle, experienced care and asks patients to share any worries so visits can be made as comfortable as possible. A printed treatment plan including fees is provided for consideration and discussion before any course of treatment begins.
