Luxury Dentistry
We aim to provide pain free, luxury dentistry
How we started
Pain free, luxury dentistry
THE dentist Salisbury was created in 2004 by two best friends, Aly and Tash, both with a vision to provide pain-free, luxury dentistry in Salisbury.
We still remember receiving the phone call from our first-ever patient whilst eating lunch out together. To say we were excited would be an understatement.
THE dentist Salisbury has been providing exceptional dental care in the area ever since.
Our ethos & values
Genuinely care
We genuinely care about your experience
Relaxing & enjoyable
We ensure every visit is relaxing & enjoyable
How far we’ve come
Tranquil and therapeutic environment
The gentle, relaxing nature of your dental experience begins when you enter our reception area. The environment is tranquil and therapeutic and our aim is to ensure that every visit is relaxing and enjoyable.
The classic dental smell is off the menu. THE dentist is scented with spa-like fragrance. Relaxing music plays throughout.
We are here to greet you on arrival and to offer you refreshment before your appointment. We ensure our appointments are plenty long enough so we can have time to discuss things properly. We always take our time when it comes to caring for our patients.
We are a group of perfectionists, fun seekers and motivated humans who are here to make every visit as enjoyable as your first.
Dentist vs Dental Therapist
Who might carry out your treatment as a patient at THE dentist Salisbury?
At THE dentist Salisbury we are passionate about providing patients with the best patient journey and experience. We believe this starts before you even come in to see us for your appointments and continues long after you have left.
Over the last few years, the field of dentistry has changed a lot and it now focuses more than ever on a team approach to patient care and wellbeing improving utilisation of a dentist and dental therapist’s time and unique skillsets. With this in mind, your treatment pathway may begin or end with a dentist or dental therapist.
But, how can a team approach improve patient journey and experience? What is the difference between a dentist and dental therapist?
All dentists and dental therapists complete intense university training and are both registered with the General Dental Council, who regulate all dental activity in the UK to ensure we are all doing things correctly.
The main differences between dentists and dental therapists are within their scope of practice, what they can do and which treatments they can carry out based upon their training.
Dentists are trained to provide all aspects of general dentistry, including, but not limited to:
- The removal of teeth
- Fillings and restorations
- Root canal treatment
- Crown, bridge and denture work
Dental therapists have an equally skilled and valuable scope of practice which is more focused; supporting dentists and their patients, which includes, but is not limited to:
- Oral Health Evaluations including, oral health instruction, dental photography and X-rays
- Impressions and dental scans
- Fillings and restorations
- Emergencies
- Cosmetic restorations such as composite bonding
- Periodontal treatment and maintenance (Hygiene maintenance)
- The removal of baby teeth in children
This blended approach means that we can combine your Oral Health Evaluation appointment with your Hygiene Maintenance appointment, saving you time in the chair and a possible wait between seeing the hygienist and the dentist. However, if you would prefer to continue to see a dentist for your Oral Health Evaluations please let us know and we can note this on your dental records.
For patients who pay a monthly membership fee for THE dentist Salisbury plan, your monthly fee will continue to cover your Oral Health Evaluations, whether you see the dentist or a dental therapist.
Charitable giving
At THE dentist Salisbury we regularly raise money for charity, both individually and as a team. We are all passionate about animals as well as humans, so like to provide support for both. Please keep your eyes peeled on our social media channels for more fundraising, we’d love your support.
