SERVICES
The Dentists Old Market offers a comprehensive range of dental and facial aesthetic treatments for patients across Bristol and the surrounding area. The practice accepts referrals from other dental professionals for specialist treatments and offers a Practice Plan from £14.70 per month with up to 20% discount on treatment.
Dental Implants
- Dental Implants: The Dentists Old Market offers a full range of dental implant solutions to replace missing, loose, or broken teeth. Single dental implants are available for individual tooth replacement, offering greater long-term support than a traditional bridge or denture. Implant-supported bridges are available for patients missing multiple teeth and can replace a full arch where supported by sufficient implants. Denture stabilisation is also available, using implants fixed into the jaw to provide a more secure hold for existing dentures. The practice uses the latest digital scanning and planning technology for predictable implant treatment outcomes. Led by Principal Dentist Dr Kain Rowlings, who holds an MSc in Dental Implantology from Rome and a Postgraduate Certificate in Surgical and Prosthodontic Implantology from the Eastman Dental Institute, London. Finance options are available and referrals are accepted from other dental professionals.
Cosmetic Dentistry
- Cosmetic Dentistry: The Dentists Old Market offers a comprehensive range of cosmetic dental treatments tailored to each patient's individual aesthetic goals. Porcelain veneers are custom-made and precisely matched to the colour and translucence of the natural teeth to improve their shape, position, and appearance. Composite bonding uses tooth-coloured material to enhance the front teeth in a pain-free, injection-free, single-visit procedure. White spot removal combines whitening with resin infiltration (Icon technique) for patients with white spot lesions. Tooth spaces and gaps can be closed using composite or orthodontics.
- Teeth Whitening: Professional teeth whitening at The Dentists Old Market uses custom-fitted trays with clinical-grade whitening gel worn for a few hours daily or overnight over approximately two weeks. The practice uses the Enlighten system, recognised as the only teeth whitening brand to guarantee a Vita shade B1 result for every patient, with a 98% success rate and low sensitivity profile.
- Dental Crowns: Dental crowns at The Dentists Old Market are ceramic restorations manufactured in-house using CAD/CAM technology via a Planmeca PlanMill® 30.s Milling Machine, with teeth scanned digitally using an intra-oral scanner rather than traditional impressions, enabling same-day crown fabrication and fitting. Crowns restore both the strength and natural appearance of heavily decayed, fractured, or root-canal-treated teeth and are also used to support dental bridges.
- Porcelain Inlays and Onlays: Porcelain inlays and onlays at The Dentists Old Market provide a natural-looking and durable replacement for large metal fillings. Each restoration is a custom-made reinforced porcelain insert precisely fitted and securely bonded within the prepared tooth, matched to the natural tooth colour, to prevent further decay and stabilise the surrounding tooth structure.
Orthodontics
- Invisalign: The Dentists Old Market offers Invisalign clear aligner orthodontic treatment for patients seeking discreet teeth straightening without fixed metal braces. Invisalign uses a series of custom-made, removable clear aligners to gradually move the teeth into the desired position. Treatment is available for mild to moderate alignment issues and is provided by associate dentists with dedicated Invisalign training. Free consultations are available.
- Six Month Smiles: Six Month Smiles is a fixed short-term orthodontic system using clear brackets and tooth-coloured wires to straighten the front teeth in an average treatment time of six months. It is available at The Dentists Old Market as an alternative to aligner-based orthodontics for suitable cases.
General and Preventive Dentistry
- General Dentistry: The Dentists Old Market provides a full range of general dental treatments including routine examinations, dental X-rays, tooth-coloured fillings, tooth extractions, and emergency dental care. All clinicians are registered with the General Dental Council and are committed to providing high-quality, pain-free treatment in a modern, digital environment.
- Dental Hygiene: The Dentists Old Market offers a direct access hygiene service, enabling patients to book professional hygiene and periodontal appointments without a prior dentist referral. The hygiene team provides professional cleaning, scaling, and polishing, alongside personalised oral hygiene instruction and periodontal maintenance. The practice employs three qualified dental therapists and hygienists with expertise in periodontal care and patient education.
- Root Canal Treatment: Root canal treatment at The Dentists Old Market removes infected or damaged pulp tissue from inside a tooth to eliminate pain, clear infection, and preserve the natural tooth. Treatment is provided by associate dentist Dr Eugenijus Vladimirovas, who has a particular clinical interest and extensive experience in high-quality endodontic treatment.
- Oral Surgery: Oral surgery services at The Dentists Old Market include surgical tooth extractions and minor oral surgical procedures. Referrals are accepted from other dental professionals.
Facial Aesthetics and Specialist Treatments
- Facial Rejuvenation: Facial rejuvenation treatments are offered at The Dentists Old Market including cosmetic lip fillers and anti-wrinkle injections. Lip fillers use Juvederm hyaluronic acid dermal filler to add volume, reduce surrounding lines, and maintain a smooth and youthful lip appearance, with results lasting six to twelve months. Anti-wrinkle injections use Allergan botulinum toxin to reduce forehead lines, crow's feet, and facial wrinkles, with results taking effect after approximately one week and lasting four to six months. Free consultations are available for both treatments.
- Migraine Therapy: The Dentists Old Market offers specialist migraine therapy for patients whose migraines are linked to dental issues including TMJ disorders, bruxism, or bite misalignments. Treatments include muscle relaxation therapy using botulinum toxin to reduce migraine frequency and intensity, TMJ therapy using custom mouthguards, bruxism management with customised night guards, and bite correction through orthodontics and occlusal adjustments. Referrals are accepted from other dental and medical professionals.
