Our Preventative Dentistry Services
Improve and Maintain Your Dental Health
Our friendly Byford dentist provides comprehensive dental care for people of all age groups, from infant to adult. The main goal is to take good care of one’s dental health, obtained by the regular every 6 months check-up and clean dental visit and personal care. Infant age groups should be given additional dental care to stay away from dental problems in the future.
Maintaining healthy gums and teeth is essential, and regular 6-month dental check-ups can obtain this. In the rising field of dentistry, prevention is the golden rule to be followed. This is achieved only if you brush and floss, consume a healthy diet, use fluoridated toothpaste, and undergo a 6-month check-up, visit your reputable Byford dentist at regular intervals.

- Save money: regular dental check-up detects the cavities, tooth decay or even some abnormalities that are treated at the early stages that save money
- Plaque prevention: a sticky deposit over the gums or teeth is called plaque, and this is removed during the check-up avoiding complications (that would rise out of the plaque)

"I visited Dr Alefia at Byford Smiles today and she has finally settled my nerves about seeing a dentist! Dr Alefia was very calming and explained everything thoroughly and in terms that was easily understood. Tanya at reception knew so much and helped with my claim and how to proceed with future appointments! She was so friendly and I now have nothing to fear when it comes to seeing a dentist. I would highly recommend Byford Smiles to all! A beautiful practice! Thank you!"
