About The Dentist

On the High Street in Buntingford, The Dentist offers comfortable, convenient dentistry in a friendly, professional atmosphere. The practice has a ground floor surgery with disabled access and a ground floor waiting room, plus two additional surgeries and a decontamination room on the first floor, supporting careful day-to-day care. Treatments include white fillings, CEREC tooth restorations, home whitening, dental hygiene, implants, veneers and radiography. With the CEREC® tooth restoration system, the team can complete a colour-matched ceramic filling, crown or veneer in a single visit, using CEREC equipment to plan and fit restorations efficiently. The practice also highlights its approach to safe, careful care, stating that it follows high standards of cross infection control, hygiene and sterilisation, with each team member thoroughly trained. Patients are asked about general health and medicines being taken to help treatment proceed safely, and the practice explains treatment options, what is being done and associated costs so informed choices can be made. For local patients considering replacement teeth, the practice describes implants as a cost-effective, conservative option, avoiding unnecessary reduction of adjacent teeth that may be needed for bridge preparation.
