Our practice covers the removal of teeth (including wisdom teeth), the placement of dental implants and their restoration, assessment and treatment of Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) problems, the treatment of gum disease with in-house dental hygienist services available both for general dental hygiene care and for the treatment of more advanced gum disease. We offer treatment under local anaesthetic, intravenous sedation and general anaesthetic for both day cases and inpatients.When you visit our friendly, inviting practice, our empathetic\u00a0team will happily walk you through, and explain clearly the treatment you need and everything involved.Everyone\u2019s situation is different. Often there are a number of treatment options, all of which will correct a patients problem and it is important that all options are discussed with patients before arriving at a decision on which specific treatment is the most suitable for an individual patient. We only provide you with the best treatment for your situation.Referrals not necessaryBecause we don\u2019t require a referral you can contact us directly for all your surgical dentistry, implant dentistry and gum disease treatment needs\u00a0including\u00a0dental hygiene therapy.

As an accredited sedationist, Dr Priestland only provides\u00a0treatment according to all the rules and regulations that govern\u00a0this aspect of medical care.
