Treatments available at Bishopthorpe Dental Centre
At Bishopthorpe Dental Centre, we provide dental care for adults and children, including regular check-ups, hygiene appointments, and preventative advice to help you look after your teeth and gums.
Dental sedation is available here at Bishopthorpe for suitable patients. This includes intravenous (IV) and inhalation sedation for patients who may benefit from additional support during dental treatment. We completely understand that some patients feel anxious about dental visits, so please let our team know if you’ll need a bit of extra support when you book. As Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust explains, sedation can help keep you calm during dental treatment, though not every type of sedation is right for everyone. Before any sedation, we’ll arrange an assessment appointment so you can ask questions and we can check what’s suitable for you.
Beyond dental care, we also offer facial aesthetic treatments at Bishopthorpe. Dr Carlie Betts, one of our Bishopthorpe dentists, has over 10 years’ experience carrying out a variety of facial treatments. Every treatment starts with a consultation to talk through what’s suitable for you.
