Hesketh Lane Dental Practice

Dental hygiene appointments help remove staining, tartar and plaque. The hygienist also gives advice on cleaning teeth and gums. Patients do not need a registered dentist at the practice to see the hygienist.

Hesketh Lane Dental Practice provides general dentistry in Tarleton, Preston. Care includes white fillings, composite bonding, crowns, bridges, dentures and emergency dental care. It also offers children's dentistry, including NHS children's dentistry.

Cosmetic dental treatments include teeth whitening, veneers and composite bonding. Bonding can be used for white fillings, replacing metal fillings, repairing chipped teeth, closing gaps and reshaping teeth. Whitening is assessed by a dentist first, and uses custom-made trays for home treatment.

The practice offers dental implants for replacing missing teeth. An implant consultation assesses suitability, with x-rays and a CT scan used if treatment goes ahead. Implants can support a crown, bridge or denture.

Teeth straightening is available through Invisalign. The practice treats issues including crowding, spacing, overbite, overjet, underbite, crossbite, open bite and misplaced midline. A specialist assesses whether Invisalign is suitable, or whether conventional orthodontic treatment is a better option.

The clinical team includes dentists, a dental hygienist, an implant specialist and specialists involved in teeth straightening care. Denplan is also available at the practice.
