At Ben Swindley Dental we provide our patients with a large range of friendly and professional services to prevent and correct problems with teeth and gums.
We try to keep our jargon to a minimum so that when you have a problem to discuss, you can understand what we are saying – we talk to you in plain English not in ‘Dental Speak’!
Sometimes however, we may need to use technical terms. Take a look at our Dental Dictionary should you need clarification.
Diagnostic dentistry
We can do the following for you:
- Examine your mouth for disease and problems
- Investigate the cause of any pain or discomfort
Preventative dentistry (General Dentistry)
We can help keep your teeth in tip-top condition.
- Remove plaque build up (Scaling)
- Polish your teeth
- Even out the tooth surface by sealing to prevent decay in grooved or pitted regions (Fissure Sealants)
