Here at\nCraigentinny Dental Care<\/strong>, we\u2019ve been\ncommitted to providing the residents of Edinburgh for the past 25 years with a\nbespoke, patient orientated, tailored dental service like no other. It is our\nbelief that the individual needs and requirements of each of our patients\nshould be at the forefront of everything we do, rather than opting for the\none-size-fits-all approach to dentistry which has sadly become commonplace in\nfar too many practices across the city. Treatment from us here at Craigentinny\nDental Care is only carried out by a practitioner of the patient\u2019s choosing\nwhom they trust wholeheartedly and with whom they share a good rapport. Prior\nto beginning treatment, patients must first undertake informal consultations\nbetween themselves and a practitioner of their choosing who will detail the\nbasics of each procedure as well as explain what outcome the patient can expect\nas a result of their treatment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discreet orthodontics<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

One\nprocedure which is particularly popular here at Craigentinny Dental Care<\/strong> is the installation of discreet braces and\ndental aligners, such as our \u2018Six Month Smiles\u2019 programme. Treatment of this\nsort is largely favoured by young adults and teenagers over conventional\northodontic methods such as typical fused metal \u2018train-track\u2019 braces – which\nare often uncomfortable as well as largely detrimental to the patient\u2019s outward\nappearance. The primary reason for the popularity of cosmetic dental alignment\nover conventional methods is that they are virtually invisible when worn, and\ncan often be removable. Thus patients can undertake essential dental\nrealignment without attracting any unwanted attention from peers or colleagues,\nas well as the removable nature of the treatment affording them the ability to\ncarry out treatment at a time convenient to them – such as when sleeping or at\nhome. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Squeaky-clean feeling<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another\nparticularly popular cosmetic dental service we offer here at Craigentinny\nDental Care is our range of treatments offered by our dental\nhygienist in Edinburgh<\/a>. Treatments of this sort are used to\neradicate any superficial stains on a patient’s teeth which have come about\nthrough drinking red wine, coffee, smoking or just general neglect. Through the\nimplementation of specialist equipment, our friendly team of three in-house dental hygienists in Edinburgh<\/strong> can help reverse years of\ndamage to teeth in a matter of minutes. Here at Craigentinny Dental Care we\nunderstand a healthy smile is paramount to a healthy lifestyle and that if a\npatient has teeth which are stained and discoloured it can have a largely\nnegative effect on their social lives as well as overall happiness. By\nundertaking our scale and polish services however, patients can walk away from\nour practice with a squeaky-clean feeling, healthy mouth, and a bright smile to\nmatch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sedation dentistry<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Craigentinny Dental Care<\/strong> we understand that the dentists can be a trying and stressful experience for many of us, and we do our best to make the process as painless and calming as possible. However, for the more severe cases of dental anxiety, we offer sedation dentistry whereby a sedative is intravenously administered to the patient to calm them down and allow the procedure to be carried out smoothly. Patients seeking intravenous dental sedation must initially fill out a brief medical history form to ensure that they are safe and able to undergo the procedure, as well as a consultation that covers the procedure in detail so the patient can feel comfortable. Treatment of this sort can be massively beneficial to those who suffer severe dental anxiety, yet still require treatment. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
