GB Dental Surgery

<body bgcolor="#ffffff"> <p>Specialist practice<br /> <br /> The practice was originally developed as a family general dental practice in the 1970's, and then as time progressed other dentists started to refer patients to us for more complicated types of treatment that they themselves preferred not to practise but which they felt safe to recommend to their patients for us to complete on their behalf. In this manner the practice has become a referral centre in Suffolk for crown and bridge, cosmetic dentistry, implants, paediatric dentistry, dentures, more complicated root treatments and inhalation sedation. All the dentists involved in providing care here, have had additional postgraduate training for extended periods, in various disciplines, and all are or have been involved in providing both undergraduate and postgraduate dental education to other dentists.<br /> <br /> In view of the training received by Jacqueline Smallridge it follows that we regard children as very special patients and do everything to make their visits as pleasant and enjoyable as possible. Our main aim is to help them form good dental habits which will prevent problems with their teeth in later life.<br /> <br /> Anxious Patients<br /> <br /> For those patients that are that little bit more anxious about dental treatment we offer both inhalation sedation in the form of nitrous oxide [happy air, magic wind] and intravenous sedation [twilight sleep], as further options to make treatment less demanding. Inhalation sedation is done in the surgery and is completely safe. We utilise the services of a consultant anaesthetist for procedures on patients involving intravenously sedation and for general anaesthesia. The anaesthetic fees are billed separately by our consultant and such treatment is done these days in a hospital environment where your safety is assured. This does however mean you would have a hospital charge to cover as well as our own fees. Patients desirous of such treatment options should discuss their problems with us at their initial appointment.<br /> <br /> Domicillary visits<br /> <br /> We offer home visits where possible, to patients who are handicapped either temporarily or permanently.</p> </body>
