Members get member ‘free’ vouchers!
All the team at Village Dental Care pride ourselves on our continue care and commitment to all our patients. We have many patients that have been with us since Miss Andrews opened over fourteen years ago. Many of these patients have benefited from our Practice Plan membership scheme. With this in mind, we are rewarding our existing patients with free £20.00 Love2shop high street gift vouchers, if they refer a new patient to our practice, and they in turn, join our membership scheme. This could be a friend, family member or even a work colleague. On reception we have informative brochures that can be handed out and I am always available if new patients wish to contact the practice for further information and/or to arrange that first examination appointment.
Last week we had eight new patients including a whole family, join our practice and membership scheme.
So don’t be left behind, its £20.00 per referral, just think of that wonderful retail shopping day you could have on us.

Real Patient Testimonial - CEREC Crown Treatment
Whilst sending this card I’d like to say how absolutely delighted I am with the two cerec crowns you recently fitted for me. As you know they replaced two very old crowns that were well past their sell-by date and had suffered from the effects of years of receding gums. Not a pretty sight and it caused me to be very self-conscious whenever I laughed or smiled, realizing that others could see them. Now I have two beautiful and very natural looking cerec teeth and it’s impossible to tell the difference from the real ones along side them. It was such an easy procedure- one visit, one injection and my life was transformed. I still can’t quite believe how fantastic they look. I arrived at your surgery feeling embarrassed about smiling and laughing and now I can’t stop smiling. A real boost to my self-confidence. It’s definitely money well spent and one of the best investments I ever made. Thank you so much for giving my smile back.

Zoom! Teeth Whitening - Cosmetic Dentists - Hertfordshire, UK
I was very lucky this week. I was asked if I would like to have my teeth whitened (bleached). The procedure would be administrated at the surgery and would take approximately one and half hours. My teeth have been known to be sensitive at times but, Miss Andrews suggested that I should start to use a desensitizing agent e.g. GC mouse, before I have the treatment.
Zoom! In-office tooth whitening is a way of lightening your teeth using hydrogen peroxide gel and an ultraviolet lamp. Together these produce a whitening of the teeth in very little time.
Deep scaling and Root planing - Root Canal Dentists
If plaque and tartar is left on the teeth it provides the right conditions for bacteria to thrive. The bacteria irritate the gums, which mean that they bleed more easily. This is the early stage of gum disease called gingivitis. Most adults have some degree of gum disease.
If gingivitis is not treated, the inflammation will work its way down towards the foundations of the tooth causing a ‘periodontal pocket’. Gum disease can break down the support /bone/ structures of the teeth, so that eventually, they will become loose. The good news is that if gum disease is caught in time, its progression can be halted and improved upon, and that is the key.
Fissure Sealants in Hertfordshire, UK
There are a lot of studies that suggest placing sealants helps prevent cavities, but it does not mean that you will never get cavities. It can still happen, but fissure sealants will reduce that risk. You still need to look after your teeth to your best ability and you need to help your little ones, because cleaning your teeth regularly and properly is the best prevention and of course we can not forget about your regular check ups and hygiene appointments.
New beautiful set of Dentures?
A new patient who joined our practice beginning of this week, wanted to replace his old, uncomfortable and loose denture for a new and better fitting one.
Miss Andrews examined the patient and checked all the rest of the teeth. She suggested that the patient will really benefit from a new cobalt-chrome set of dentures. ‘What fantastic news’ – patient said. A cobalt-denture is a denture with a metal frame, which means, that it is not as thick as acrylic this means it can be made smaller so patient can taste the food better. Cobalt-chrome partial dentures tend to be more comfortable, stronger and last longer. In many situations they also reduce bone loss enormously.
Spreading the Cost of Dental Treatment - Dentists near Hatfield
Many people find the thought of paying for dental treatment, more frightening than actually seeing a dentist. Here at Village Dental Care we understand this. We can offer a personal medical finance service to our patients that require a lot of treatment, enabling them to spread their treatment fees with ease.
All new patients are given a copy of a suggestion of treatment plan, at the end of their initial examination. This will show the treatment required and the approximate dental cost.
Embarrassing Breath Treatments- Dentists in Hertfordshire UK
A lady contacted Village Dental Care in desperate need to speak to somebody in the dental field. She admitted that she was a complete coward when it came to dentists and couldn’t remember the last time she had actually seen one. She didn’t really know if she had a dental or medical problem. She continued to inform me that she had been told by a work colleague that she had bad breath! She was quite upset and very embarrassed that this had been suggested to her. She clearly wanted to solve the problem.
Fantastic Dentist in Hertfordshire
A lot of people have a phobia of the visiting the dentist. They would rather experience the toothache and often leave it, until it’s too late. It is most important to see a dentist regularly, so they can assess and deal with problems before they worsen and become irreversible, painful or expensive. Of course, you need to look after your teeth at home and do it to your best ability, however, together when we work as a team everything will be fine. When you ask people, why they are scared of the dentist, they often do not have a straight forward answer. There may be many possibilities though:
