Treatments
Gentle dental treatments in Iver & Slough
Everything you'd expect from a caring family dentist, explained clearly and delivered at your pace. Here's a quick guide to the treatments Sophia provides, with dedicated pages where you can find more detail.
Check-ups & hygiene
Routine care that keeps small problems small.
A regular examination is the simplest way to stay healthy. Sophia checks your teeth, gums and soft tissues, talks through anything she spots, and agrees a plan with you, no surprises, no pressure. Professional cleaning (hygiene) removes the build-up that brushing alone can't, leaving your mouth fresh and your gums happier.
If you've been away from the dentist for a while, that's completely fine, we'll start gently. Many nervous patients begin here.
Preventive dentistry
Looking after your teeth so they look after you.
Prevention is Sophia's special interest. Rather than waiting for problems, the focus is on stopping them before they start, practical advice tailored to you, early detection, and simple routines that fit your life. It's the kindest and most cost-effective way to keep your smile healthy for the long term.
This goes hand in hand with gum health, where small changes make a big difference.
White fillings
Tooth-coloured fillings that blend right in.
When a tooth needs repairing, Sophia uses tooth-coloured (composite) materials that bond to the tooth and match its natural shade, so repairs are discreet and comfortable. Everything is explained first, numbing is always available, and we work at a pace that suits you.
Got an old, darker filling you'd like replaced? That's something we can look at together at your check-up.
Crowns & bridges
Restoring teeth that need a little more support.
A crown caps and protects a tooth that's weakened or heavily filled, while a bridge can replace a missing tooth by anchoring to its neighbours. Sophia takes a conservative approach, keeping as much of your natural tooth as possible and only doing what's genuinely needed.
As one patient put it after a crown appointment, Sophia "always explains the procedure and says what she is doing as it progresses", and will adapt the plan if it means saving more of your tooth.
Cosmetic dentistry
Subtle, natural-looking improvements.
Cosmetic work is offered, but it's never pushed. If there's something about your smile you'd like to change, Sophia will talk through realistic options honestly, including doing nothing at all if that's the right call. The aim is always a result that looks like you, only refreshed.
Two of the gentlest options are composite bonding and porcelain veneers.
Teeth whitening
A brighter smile, the safe way.
Dentist-led whitening uses custom-made trays moulded to your teeth, so the treatment is even, comfortable and kind to your gums. Sophia checks your teeth and gums are healthy first, then guides you through using it at home for the best, most natural result.
Children's dentistry
Happy first visits and healthy habits.
Sophia's calm, friendly manner is just as reassuring for little ones. Early visits are gentle and unhurried, a chance for children to get comfortable, build good habits, and learn that the dentist is nothing to fear.
