home > about > the hygeia philosophyOur aim is to keep you healthy. That's why the practice is named after Hygeia - the ancient goddess of health. This approach is called preventive dentistry, and it's all about helping you to keep your own teeth for a lifetime. Increasingly, our patients are also asking for "smile makeovers". We are experienced in dealing with crooked or discoloured teeth, closing unwanted gaps and improving smiles. Everyone at hygeia is friendly and approachable. We try to make every visit a comfortable and relaxing experience. Should you need treatment, we will provide you with dental care of the highest quality and all fillings, crowns, bridges, veneers and inlays come with the reassurance of our 2 year guarantee (see our full price list for details). We strive to maintain the highest standards, using the latest materials, equipment and techniques - see our news page and news archive for more details. We follow rigorous procedures for cross-infection control, waste disposal, radiography, health and safety, etc. and clinical staff undergo thorough training. The practice has ample free car parking for all patients and is accessible for people with disabilities. We provide a full range of dental treatments and have arrangements in place to refer orthodontic and implant treatments to a specialist. We are open about our pricing policy: our price list is on display at reception and is available on this website. We discuss treatment options and costs with you before any work is done and printed treatment plans (ie estimates) are available on request. If you have a problem, we really do want to hear about it: feedback from our patients helps us to improve our service. Please feel free to raise the matter with any member of staff or contact the practice director, Neil Phillips. It is our policy to resolve any problems swiftly and informally. If, however, a patient should make a complaint of a more formal nature (written complaints would normally be considered "formal") - we aim to acknowledge these within 3 practice working days and provide a full response (with redress or details of action to be taken, if appropriate) within 10 practice working days. |
