Lesley and Hilary have now (after more than 50 years at Tavistock House, between them) hung up their scrubs and gone into well-deserved retirement.

We know that they will be very much missed by patients and staff alike, and their cheerful welcomes and bright smiles have brightened up countless workdays of dentists, nurses, hygienists, and patients over the years. Their friendly and helpful manner on the desk has been a working example to us of the importance of the front face of the practice and the first point of contact for our patients.

We know you will wish to join us in wishing them both a very happy and healthy retirement.

Thank you, both of you, for all you have done over the years.

We are thrilled to announce that our surgery upgrade is complete!

The new surgery room features state-of-the-art equipment including:

• Ultraleather dental chair
• FHD LED displays to engage with our patients
• A "stadium effect" LED dental light
• Improved storage and working areas

The improved design makes better use of space and natural light.  It is more welcoming, open and comfortable to keep all our patients feeling more at home.

We can't wait for you to see it!

• CPR (CardioPulmonary Resuscitation)
• Use of the defibrillator
• Medical emergencies
• First aid

Henrietta of Tavistock Dental Practice recently attended a cosmetic dentistry course run by Style Italiano to learn about a new technique to create lifelike direct composite restorations on front teeth to enhance smiles in an easy and affordable way!

Here is an example of what is available now for our patients, provided by Henrietta.

This patient had old, discoloured, failing composite veneers/fillings covering the upper front teeth and he was no longer satisfied with aesthetics.

Using the new method these composite fillings were removed and the teeth had been restored by adding new composite giving our patient very natural looking new smile!
