Was an amazing experience since the first appointment where I had my dental plan put in place. Was super understanding with my situation and what work I wanted to have done. All the staff I had met during my 3 appointments were very nice and provided a great service overall.

Great practice and would highly recommend!! I had been going to another dentist for a while but didn’t seem to explain anything or help me with options.
Decided to come to Eccleshill Dental. Was amazed. I had a 40 min examination and then went through all my issues. They broke it down to things that I ‘needed’ to do and then discussed things that might ...

I would like say a massive thank you to Karan at Eccleshill Dental for giving me the confidence to smile again.
The dental work I had done was not a straight forward procedure. My teeth needed bleaching and then a new front crown needed to be made to match their new colour.
After the course of Enlighten treatment my teeth were temporarily left patchy in ...

FAQs
How often do I need to have a dental health check-up?
We recommend you visit us for a dental check-up every six months. However, we may suggest you book your next appointment at a longer or shorter interval, depending on your specific dental needs.
What happens if you find any issues during my examination appointment?
If we identify any gum/teeth diseases or areas of concern during your examination, we will tell you straight away and form a bespoke treatment plan to resolve these before they become more serious. This is the main benefit of a regular dental check-up, as we can diagnose and treat any issues quickly and effectively, before they become more costly and time-consuming in the future.
How long will my dental health examination take?
Your dental health examination will usually take around 20 minutes, although it will be longer if it is your first appointment with us as this is more detailed to allow us to get to know you and your dental health.
Can I bring my young children with me?
Yes! Being Bradford’s one of the leading dental practice we believe it is so important to familiarise young children with visiting the dentist and the surroundings from a young age, to help avoid any nerves or worries later. You can bring your children along to your appointment from the time their first teeth appear, as we can check everything is developing well.
Do I need to clean my teeth before my appointment?
Yes, please try to brush and floss before your appointment, as this will help us initially assess your teeth and gums more clearly and makes it easier to see potential gum and teeth diseases quicker, helping you maintain your teeth smile.
What are the best foods to maintain optimal teeth and gum health?
To support your dental health essentials and promote a healthy mouth focus on foods rich in calcium, phosphorus and vitamins. Dairy products, like cheese and yogurt, are great for teeth health due to their calcium content. Leafy greens, almonds, and fish provide essential vitamins for teeth and gum health, including vitamin D and phosphorous. Crunchy fruits and vegetables like apples and carrots can also help clean teeth naturally. Incorporating these into your oral dental care routine strengthens enamel and reduces the risk of gum disease.
