SERVICES
Park Place Dental Practice offers a comprehensive range of dental treatments for patients across Cardiff and the surrounding area, spanning preventive, cosmetic, restorative, and surgical dentistry, as well as patient dental care membership plans. The practice is founded on a philosophy of preventive care and long-term oral health, underpinned by a Comprehensive Oral Health Assessment offered to all patients.
- Oral Health Assessment: Comprehensive oral health assessments are offered to all patients at Park Place Dental Practice as the foundation of the practice's preventive dentistry philosophy. The assessment is a proactive, detailed examination of the teeth, gums, soft tissues, and bite, designed to identify the patient's risk of developing dental disease before problems arise and to inform a personalised long-term dental health plan.
- Dental Hygiene: Dental hygiene services are provided at Park Place Dental Practice to support patients in maintaining healthy gums for life. The hygiene team delivers professional scaling and cleaning, removal of plaque and calculus deposits, and personalised oral hygiene instruction to prevent and manage gum disease, bad breath, and tooth decay.
- Mouthguards: Bespoke sports mouthguards are available at Park Place Dental Practice, custom-made to protect the teeth and soft tissues during contact and non-contact sports. Custom-fitted guards offer significantly greater protection and comfort than over-the-counter alternatives.
- Smile Assessment: A dedicated smile assessment service is available at Park Place Dental Practice, including a free 3D digital scan, allowing patients to explore cosmetic treatment options and see a digital preview of their potential smile transformation before committing to treatment. A £30 refundable booking fee applies.
- Invisalign: Invisalign clear aligner treatment is available at Park Place Dental Practice as the practice's primary teeth straightening solution. Invisalign uses a series of custom-made, virtually invisible removable aligners to gradually straighten the teeth, and is suitable for a wide range of alignment corrections in both adults and teenagers.
- Orthodontics: Cosmetic orthodontic treatment is available at Park Place Dental Practice using modern techniques to straighten the front teeth. The practice offers a range of orthodontic solutions to address misalignment, crowding, spacing, and bite concerns.
- Composite Bonding: Composite bonding is available at Park Place Dental Practice as a minimally invasive cosmetic treatment in which tooth-coloured resin is applied and sculpted directly onto the teeth to repair chips, close gaps, reshape contours, or improve the overall appearance of the smile. It is typically completed in a single appointment with little or no removal of natural tooth structure.
- Teeth Whitening: Professional teeth whitening is offered at Park Place Dental Practice as a simple, safe, and popular way to achieve a brighter, younger-looking smile. Clinically supervised whitening uses professional-grade bleaching agents and is available as both in-surgery and take-home treatments.
- Stain Removal: Professional tooth stain removal is available at Park Place Dental Practice to remove the surface staining that accumulates over time from food, drink, and lifestyle factors, restoring the natural brightness and appearance of the teeth.
- Smile Makeovers: Bespoke smile makeovers are offered at Park Place Dental Practice as tailored, multi-treatment plans combining any number of cosmetic procedures — including Invisalign, composite bonding, teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, and crowns — to enhance and perfect the appearance of the smile.
- Porcelain Veneers: Porcelain veneers are available at Park Place Dental Practice as thin, custom-made shells of porcelain bonded to the front surfaces of the teeth to conceal imperfections and improve their colour, shape, size, or alignment. They are a key component of many smile makeover treatment plans.
- White Fillings: Tooth-coloured composite white fillings are provided at Park Place Dental Practice to restore teeth affected by decay or to replace unsightly old amalgam fillings with a natural-looking alternative that blends seamlessly with the surrounding tooth structure.
- Dental Implants: Dental implants are offered at Park Place Dental Practice to replace missing teeth with a permanent, natural-looking solution that looks, feels, and functions like natural teeth. Implants are anchored directly into the jawbone through osseointegration, providing a stable foundation for a crown, bridge, or denture.
- Dental Crowns: Dental crowns are available at Park Place Dental Practice to strengthen weakened, heavily decayed, or broken teeth and restore their appearance. Crowns are custom-made to match the colour and contour of the surrounding natural teeth, providing both protection and aesthetic improvement.
- Dental Bridges: Dental bridges are offered at Park Place Dental Practice as a fixed tooth replacement option for patients with one or more missing teeth. A bridge is anchored to the adjacent natural teeth and restores the appearance, function, and integrity of the smile, preventing remaining teeth from drifting.
- Dentures: Full and partial dentures are available at Park Place Dental Practice for patients requiring removable tooth replacement. Custom-made dentures restore the ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence following tooth loss.
- Tooth Wear: The practice has a specialist interest in the assessment and management of tooth wear, led by founding clinician Mark Hill, who accepts referrals for toothwear cases. Treatment aims to restore worn, chipped, and aged teeth to their previous form and function, using a range of restorative techniques tailored to the severity and cause of the wear.
- Root Canal Treatment: Root canal treatment is available at Park Place Dental Practice for the treatment of infected or inflamed tooth pulp. The procedure involves removing the infected tissue, cleaning and shaping the root canals, and sealing the tooth to prevent reinfection, allowing the natural tooth to be preserved.
- Tooth Extraction: Tooth extraction is carried out at Park Place Dental Practice where a tooth cannot be saved through restorative means. The procedure is performed with care and precision, with patient comfort as a priority, and is followed by appropriate aftercare guidance.
- Gum Contouring: Gum contouring is available at Park Place Dental Practice to reshape and even the gum line around the front teeth, addressing a gummy smile or uneven gum contours and creating a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing smile. The procedure is frequently incorporated into broader smile makeover treatment plans.
- Dental Care Plans: Patient dental care membership plans are available at Park Place Dental Practice, enabling patients to spread the cost of their preventive care across monthly payments and access a range of practice benefits. Plans include routine check-ups and hygiene appointments and are designed to support patients in maintaining long-term oral health.
- Emergency Dentistry: Park Place Dental Practice offers emergency dental appointments for patients experiencing acute dental pain, trauma, or urgent dental concerns. Patients are encouraged to contact the practice during normal surgery hours in the first instance, with out-of-hours emergency cover also available.
- Professional Referrals: Park Place Dental Practice accepts referrals from other dental professionals, particularly for tooth wear and restorative cases. Mark Hill, who has a long-established specialist interest in toothwear, is available for referral-based consultations and treatment.
