Dentistry
I have a belief that all dentistry should be pain free and stress free for all involved. Unfortunately, this isn’t always the case and this can result in anxiety or even a phobia developing. I often see the result of someone being so anxious about dental treatment that they put it off until they have no option than to attend and then, usually in pain. This results in a continually negative experience as they never can associate a trip to the dentist without pain and stress.
There are a few reasons that most people will cite for being scared of the dentist and usually in my experience they are:
I find that just a good conversation can go a long way to allay some of these fears with plenty of reassurance. Most people think that they are the only ones who feel this way and are often embarrassed, but studies have shown that between 30-60% of the British population have some level of anxiety when visiting the dentist. I think that there is no need to do any treatment unless a patient is completely numb and comfortable and this is a promise that I make to my patients. We also use a stop signal if someone needs me to stop for ANY reason, a cough, sneeze, to nip to the loo, have rinse etc
I want our patients to experience the best possible experience that they could have in a dental practice when they visit us at Evolve. We do this in many ways, we don’t really look like a dental practice, we don’t smell like a dental practice, we serve proper coffee, amazing tea, we even serve champagne, we listen to our patients and we invest in equipment and skills to ensure that we are as up to date as possible. Recently I invested in a piece of kit call The Wand STA.
Can chipped teeth be fixed without braces? In this latest Two Thirty episode, Carol explains that the answer depends on why the tooth chipped in the first place.
Sometimes teeth chip because of the way they meet or their position. In these cases, orthodontic treatment may be recommended to move the teeth into a healthier position and help prevent further damage.
For many chips, a simple and effective option is composite bonding - carefully adding tooth-coloured material to rebuild the shape and restore your smile.

Your future smile could start this month.
Our clear aligner teeth straightening promotion includes free consultation appointments over the next four weeks, rather than just one day - making it easier to find a time that suits you.
Only 6 appointments available.
Bleeding gums are never something to ignore. In this latest Two Thirty episode, Richard explains how gum disease often starts as gingivitis - where the gums become swollen and may bleed - but with the right care, this early stage can often be reversed.
If left untreated, gum disease can progress and may lead to bone loss around the teeth. The good news is that regular hygiene visits and good home care can make a real difference.
Watch the video to learn the signs to look out for and how we can help you maintain a healthy smile.

Lottie told us she never used to show her teeth when she smiled.
After completing her Invisalign treatment with Yasmin, she now loves smiling with confidence and showing her teeth.
We’re so pleased to have been part of her journey - and grateful for her lovely recommendation of Evolve Dentistry.
If you’ve been hiding your smile, we’d love to help. Message us to book a consultation.

A lovely evening spent together outside the practice. Last night the Evolve team enjoyed a delicious meal at Aqua in Portishead - a chance to relax, catch up and celebrate the people who make Evolve such a special place to work and visit.
We’re proud of the warm, caring team culture we’ve built, and evenings like this are a great reminder that behind every appointment is a team who genuinely enjoy working together.
Thank you to Aqua for a wonderful evening and fantastic food.

Can cosmetic dentistry improve your confidence?
In this video, Carol answers a question we hear often - and for many patients, the answer is yes.
Feeling confident in your smile can have a real impact on how you feel day to day. Cosmetic dentistry can help improve concerns such as tooth colour, shape, spacing or worn edges, while keeping results natural and suited to you.
Every smile is different, which is why treatment always starts with understanding your goals and recommending the most appropriate options.
If you’ve been thinking about improving your smile, our team at Evolve would be happy to help.
