​MINIMALISM

Dr Joe practices a distinctly minimalist style of dentistry.

​

Whilst being thorough, he will do the minimal amount to achieve and maintain your dental health.

 

He will explore the simplest (and often cheapest) option first.

 

This may include a watch-and-wait approach to early problems or 'patching' previously filled teeth. He believes we do not live in a perfect world and some treatment plans need to be based on compromise.

​

Ultimately we aim to achieve the best result at an affordable price.

​​

COST

Dr Joe has always charged at the low end of the fee spectrum and is very up-front about fees. He believes the cost of treatment is a major barrier to people seeking dental care. Therefore, with a minimalist approach and lower fees, every attempt is made to make your treatment affordable.

​

Please feel free to ask for a treatment estimate and compare our fees.

​

PRO-CHOICE 

We value your opinion on the direction your treatment takes. You may prefer to deal with a single problem or choose a more complex treatment plan. We offer silver (Amalgam) fillings for back teeth (which are stronger, last longer and, are cheaper) as well as composite (white) fillings. Dr Joe can guide you with your choice.

​

X-RAYS

Knowing that X-ray radiation is harmful, X-rays are always kept to an absolute minimum. 

 

They are not always part of a routine examination. We will only recommend them when necessary.​​​​
