How I treat
My approach is conservative: preserve healthy tooth structure first, and treat when treating is genuinely the better option. That means I will sometimes tell you a tooth is worth watching rather than filling, and I will explain why rather than asking you to take it on faith.
If you want to see how I reason before you book, the guides below are the real thing — the same explanations I give in the chair.
Worth reading before a first visit
Start with how I decide whether something needs treating at all.
