Routine dental care is essential for maintaining lifelong good oral health and a confident, beautiful smile.
At Pure Dental Health, we recommend regular dental check-ups – typically every six months to help prevent issues such as tooth decay and gum disease before they start. Our approach is always tailored to your individual needs, ensuring you receive the best preventative care for your unique smile.
Preventative dental care is the cornerstone of maintaining optimal oral health. Regular dental visits allow our team to detect potential problems (such as tooth decay or gum disease) early, when they are typically easier and more affordable to treat. By monitoring changes in your teeth and gum health over time, we can tailor your care plan to your specific needs and help you avoid more extensive dental treatments in the future.
We recommend that patients attend dental check-ups every six months, but the frequency may vary depending on individual risk factors. These routine examinations help you preserve a healthy smile and safeguard your overall well-being.
For families, we advise bringing children for their first dental check-up as soon as their milk teeth begin to appear. These early visits enable us to monitor your child’s dental development and introduce them to a friendly, stress-free dental environment. We strive to make these appointments both fun and educational, nurturing healthy oral habits and that last a lifetime.
At Pure Dental, our routine dental care checkups involve a comprehensive assessment of your overall oral health, including your gums, jaw, and soft tissues. Routine dental care is vital for spotting and addressing potential problems before they become serious, contributing to better overall health outcomes.
Our highly-trained dental hygienists provide professional cleaning treatments that go far beyond what can be achieved with regular brushing and flossing at home. Using state-of-the-art equipment and techniques, they'll gently remove plaque, tartar, and surface stains while caring for your gum health.
Using the latest techniques and high-quality materials, our experienced dentists ensure your tooth filling is long-lasting, comfortable and perfectly matched to your natural tooth colour. Whether you need a new dental filling or want to replace old metal fillings with modern white alternatives, we're here to help you maintain a healthy, confident smile.

I felt totally comfortable knowing if I had any worries I only needed to phone. 1st class.
I had my teeth rebuilt after decades of grinding. Mark was professional and made me feel at ease. I would recommend Mark as the process was always straightforward with the patient in mind, it was well explained and fulfilled.
The thought of having a denture was terrifying, so glad that I made the decision to have implants. Would highly recommend and have again.
Having been so down, conscious and miserable about my teeth over the last 10 years I decided to visit Mark Durnall at Pure Dental. From the minute I entered the premises I felt at ease as all the girls on reception were so lovely! After my consultation with Mark it became apparent I needed to have quite extensive work of implants and crowns. I was absolutely terrified!! Having been to the practice several times now and most of the works have been done I can honestly say that I didn’t feel a thing! Mark is a figure of true professionalism and his team are a real credit to him! Always smiling! Meanwhile, I’m always smiling, he’s done such an amazing job I can’t stop staring at them! Can’t believe these teeth are mine! I would have no hesitation in recommending Mark and his team to anyone, he’s simply changed my life!
Family and friends that I see regularly can’t believe that they’re not real teeth, because they look so real and they also like the confidence it’s given me, everybody mentions that, and everybody also mentions I always used to walk with a stoop, I don’t anymore, my shoulders are back because I’m free again. Definitely go to Mark at Pure Dental because you won’t be frightened from the minute you meet his team because I was the most nervous patient you could ever wish to meet.
I would definitely recommend Mark and his team at Pure. Very happy with the result and I can now eat a pasty walking down the road.
