The Apple Dental Practice

For more than 30 years, the Apple Dental Practice - Best Dental Clinic in Bristol has provided comprehensive, skilled and diligent family dental care right in the heart of the community. Of course, the practice has changed somewhat in that time, keeping right up to date with the very latest technologies and dental treatments, which now include implants, a range of options for whitening the teeth and six month smiles orthodontics. Our staff of surgeons are also fully committed to assisting those who really do fear a trip to the dentists, with sedation available for the more chronic sufferers. A warm welcome, friendly caring treatment from highly skilled surgeons and private treatments at realistic prices await you at Apple Dental Practice. At Apple Dental Practice we recommend regular examinations to help maintain your oral health, which would include a soft tissue check to check for any abnormal changes in the mouth and a gum health check. We also perform the appropriate radiographic investigations to check for early signs of dental decay that can then be treated before it becomes a problem, and diet and oral hygiene advice. Dentures are false teeth that can be removed from the mouth for cleaning. They can be made out of plastic or they sometimes have a metal framework. Dentures may be used to restore your dentition when all the teeth have been lost or for when you still have some remaining teeth.   Patients who are anxious about receiving treatment have the option of intravenous sedation, which is carried out at the practice by Mr Greig, who holds the highest qualification in dental sedation currently attainable in the UK. Historically many patients chose to have a general anaesthetic (put to sleep), however, there are inherent risks associated with this and it is much safer to have sedation for dental procedures. The feeling of sedation is akin to being very relaxed and somewhat drowsy. Although you may feel like going to sleep you will not actually sleep; in contrast to general anaesthesia patients can breathe spontaneously and respond to verbal commands. However, in the majority of cases, most patients cannot remember anything about the procedure. Some patients even enjoy the experience of sedation!
