    • Appointments available in evenings and regular monthly Saturday mornings, to reduce conflict with school or working time.
    • Use of aesthetic appliance systems using both tooth coloured or clear fixed appliances as well as Invisalign where appropriate.
      Treatments for adults.
    • Combined orthodontic and surgical treatments available for more severe dental arrangements where braces on their own would not be able to fully correct the problem.
    • Orthodontics for patients who play musical instruments with the mouth and need specially designed appliances to minimise conflicts with instrument playing
    • Combined orthodontic and restorative treatments where restorative problems need suitable dental alignment for the later placement of implants or bridges.
    • Sportsguards
    • latest techniques include the use of orthodontic anchorage implants where appropriate to occasionally avoid the need for extraction when mild crowding is present.

  5. Sleep apnoea & snoring solutions
    The effects of disturbed sleep on the physical and emotional well being of your patients is well documented;

    • Daytime sleepiness
    • Lack of energy
    • Poor motivation
    • Accidents relating to driving when tired
    • High stress levels due to fatigue
    • Reduced sex drive
    • Less effectiveness at work
    • Family members’ sleep disturbance and annoyance

    The traditional ‘gold-standard’ treatment offered by respiratory physicians using CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure), is very effective but cumbersome, with face mask, piping and a noisy electric air-pump. Many patients find their toleration of this system very limited, despite its efficacy.

    The other treatment widely promoted elsewhere is laser surgery to the palate. This is very variable in its effectiveness and commonly very painful in the first few days afterwards.

    The most appealing means of improving snoring or apnoea is with the use of an intra-oral appliance which supports the lower jaw position to help open the airway in the throat. This device is called a ‘mandibular advancement splint’.

    John Chadwick, Consultant Orthodontist based at The Referral Clinic, a division of The Dental Spa, is able to offer this service. After a full clinical assessment, a treatment plan for your patients can be developed to utilise the most appropriately designed appliance for the mouth. It is essential that patients have a good dentition with a minimum of 10 teeth per arch with no teeth mobile or suffering advanced periodontal bone loss.

    Consultation, examination and, if suitable, provision of an appliance is carried out over two visits. A pan-oral radiograph is required for the assessment and should be forwarded with a referral if available. (It would be returned after use.)

    Fee guide:
    Consultation Fee £175.00
    Including X rays, appliance fitting and reviews and adjustments over the first year £375.00 [Any replacement appliance would be additionally chargeable (£125.00)
    X-rays as necessary

  6. Oral surgery
    Our Specialist Oral Surgeon, works with our implantologists and orthodontists as part of a multi disciplinary team to ensure the best treatment plan is recommended to your patients. He also will take referrals for extractions, wisdom teeth and apicectomies.

    Fee guide:
    Consultation time 30 minutes
    Consultation Fee £85.00
    X-rays as necessary
  7. Hygiene referral
    Comprehensive programmes offered, including Fresh Breath programme. Dentists may wish to refer patients for on-going care alongside other treatments such as implants, crowns, dentures, bridges or orthodontics.
