Maintaining optimal dental health is crucial for preserving your teeth throughout your lifetime. At Delph Dental Practice, we are dedicated to assisting you in achieving and sustaining a joyful and healthy smile. By scheduling regular dental appointments, you can significantly minimise the chances of tooth loss, reduce the risk of tooth decay, and decrease the need for fillings.
Regular dental check-ups are essential for early detection of any potential dental issues and to maintain a healthy and pain-free mouth. During your routine dental check-up, we will conduct a thorough examination of your teeth, gums, and overall oral cavity.
Additionally, we may discuss and provide guidance on various aspects of your dental well-being, including oral hygiene practices, dietary choices, and lifestyle habits such as smoking and alcohol consumption.
After the check-up, we will recommend a suitable date for your next appointment, typically scheduled every 3 to 12 months. Individuals with low risk and excellent oral health may require visits once every 12 months, while those with additional concerns may benefit from more frequent dental check-ups.
Our Dental Hygiene service is dedicated to preserving the well-being of your teeth and gums. Prevention is our top priority, and we emphasize its importance during every appointment. Our team will offer tailored oral hygiene advice to help you maintain excellent oral health, prevent dental decay, address bad breath concerns, and safeguard against tooth loss.

On time, polite and patient oriented.
The dentist kept you informed about the ongoing procedures at all times and was constantly concerned about my comfort.
When all was finished I could not feel any rough bits or unevenness, that has to be a good sign of a "job well done".
Restored my faith in Dentists, thank you all.
By far the best dentist I've ever seen. Extracted 2 teeth very quickly and with no pain. Were very reassuring regarding my anxiety and explained everything as they went along. All in all, everything was perfect!
Wow, Ratna and the dental nurse were absolutely awesome, so careing and understanding and although I was still nervous I have been 3 times now and had all the treatment I needed, I have joined the silver monthly plan and I will definitely be going back every 6 months. Thank you The Delph.
I always see John for any treatment and he’s amazing. I’ve always been frightened of seeing the dentist in the past due to very bad experiences, but with John he always puts me at ease and the treatment is spot on.
Best experience I’ve ever had at a Dentist. Laura and her team were fast and efficient and made me feel right at ease.
Always recieve excellent care and service by John and I am more than happy to recommend
this dental practice and give an easy and well deserved 5 stars.
