1. What services does Egham Dental Care offer as a trusted dentist in Windsor?
We decided that since we were established in Egham, and that most of our patients are from Egham, that it was sensible to keep our existing name to avoid any confusion. Given our origins and the very short distance from Egham, this appears to have been well received by the residents of Old Windsor.
Why do I need a check up?
Experience has shown that dental disease is often unknown to the patient until pain occurs or a part of the tooth breaks. Regular examinations allow us to detect problems earlier so that they are repaired at an earlier stage thus meaning less invasive treatment. It also allows to you ask us about any cosmetic issues that you may have with your teeth.
What does our Hygiene clean involve?
Hygiene cleans at Egham Dental Care are performed with an ultrasonic scaler. This is a very efficient method of removing tartar and staining without the scraping. It is also far faster than the older techniques. Stains are gently polished away using prophy powder or air polishing to reveal the natural colour of your teeth. A portion of the appointment is used to educate you on the latest techniques for daily flossing and brushing so that you are able to remove the harmful plaque at home between the 6 monthly hygiene appointments.
What types of tooth whitening are there?
We currently offer two types of whitening:
-Home whitening with 6% hydrogen peroxide gel or 19% Carbamide Peroxide to be used over 6 days. This has the advantage that individual teeth can be whitened by different amounts and also that the teeth can be whitened by an amount decided by the patient. (see the home tooth whitening page for more details)
-The very successful Zoom laser whitening now uses 6% Hydrogen Peroxide with a Photo initiator to accelerate the process. This process is fast, efficient and fully compliant with the new E.U. regulations. More details About Zoom in Surgery Whitening can be found here.
In October 2012 the E.U. tightened the regulations regarding tooth whitening. This means that only qualified dentists are able to offer the peroxide based whitening. Any non-dentist offering peroxide based tooth whitening is thus now in breach of the current E.U. regulations.
Furthermore the new regulations say that the maximum amount of peroxide is the equivalent of 6% hydrogen peroxide (same as 19% carbamide peroxide).
What methods of payment do you accept?
We accept all major credit cards including Amex and we even accept cash!
We also offer 0% finance (subject to a satisfactory credit check).
