  • Childrens Appointments | Sapphire Dental

    Children are very much welcome here at Sapphire Dental! We see children from as little at 6 months with their first baby tooth, and often it is all about acclimatising them to the dental clinic environment. Children's Appointments Many of our patients ask when their child can have their first check-up at the dentist. The answer is there is in fact no age restriction on taking your child to the dentist. Mostly, when a child's first tooth comes through the gum, usually at the age of 6 months, it's a great time to book their first trip to the dentist. At Sapphire Dental we also have our children's corner where many of our younger patients enjoy colouring, building tower blocks and also knocking on our Tooth Fairy's door! It is important to maintain children's oral hygiene in order to prevent tooth decay, which is the primary reason that children have a general anaesthetic. We recommend parents to help children brush their teeth until at least the age of 7, and certainly until they have developed the dexterity to manoeuvre a toothbrush around their mouth effectively. Children's appointments are never rushed and we work with the parent to create a friendly environment so they can enjoy their visit to the dentist and leave with lots of positive experiences. Children's Fees Check-ups: 0-5 Year olds - Free ( Only if their parents are our plan members or regular 6 monthly attendees, otherwise £10 ) New Patient Check-ups: 0-17 year olds - £25 After first initial check-up appointment: 6-10 year olds - £15 11-17 year olds - £20 Fissure Sealant - £25 Fluoride Varnish Treatment - £15 Baby Tooth Filling - £75 Baby Tooth Extraction - £75 Enquire Now Back to Treatments C H I L D R E N ' S C O R N E R

  • Invisalign Straightening | Sapphire Dental

    Here at Sapphire Dental, we provide the world-famous Invisalign teeth straightening treatment, and have had wonderful results over the past few years! Invisalign Straightening Book a Consultation Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment using a series of clear aligners to move teeth into position. Unlike traditional metal braces, Invisalign uses a series of custom-made, clear, plastic aligners that cover your teeth and move them gently into position. They are clear and less noticeable than traditional braces, and can be removed for cleaning your teeth, eating and drinking. Invisalign 3D scanning technology is used to assess and plan your clear aligner treatment. The unique ClinCheck software allows you to see how the series of aligners will move your teeth into their projected position, so you can see how your teeth will look before the start of treatment. Once finalised, the scans are sent to the laboratory to make your clear aligners. You will return to collect your aligners and be given instructions on use. You wear each set of aligners for a minimum of 22 hours a day for 1-2 weeks, until they become ‘passive’, before moving on to the next aligner in the series. Regular reviews and sometimes attachments are needed to ensure the appropriate placement of controlled movement on the teeth. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign not only controls the amount of movement per aligner, but also the timing of the movement. This results in an efficient force delivery system that moves teeth into the desired prescribed position. Typically, Invisalign treatment can take between 6 and 18 months, with the fee ranging from £3500–£4500 depending on complexity. This fee can be spread over 12 months and includes retainers to hold your teeth into position and teeth whitening at the end of treatment. Kavita Malkan offers Invisalign straightening at Sapphire Dental; book a free consultation to find out your options. Back to Treatments
