Taking care of your oral health is much more than a routine clean.  It’s simple. You attend your appointment with the Hygienist, lay back, have your teeth cleaned, scraped, polished and told “we’ll see you again in 6 months”. Incorrect. As an industry, collectively we need to move away from this ‘scale and polish’ mindset. We as dental Hygienists and Therapists spend 3 years at university studying as well as continuing our development in all aspects of dentistry ultimately, allowing for the updating of skills and knowledge to pass onto our patients in order to prevent deterioration o ..read more

"Before my Invisalign treatment I didn’t have much confidence. I would never smile with my teeth and always hid my mouth with my hand if I laughed as I was embarrassed. I’m over the moon with the treatment. The team are always friendly and very welcoming each time I visit. I would definitely recommend speaking to Emmer about the services that there is to offer. Thanks guys xxx " Katie Griggs The post Katie’s Story appeared first on Alex Jones Dentistry ..read more

Smile Makeover “My Smile Makeover experience has been such an easy and relaxed process due to the highly skilled team at Alex Jones Dentistry. From my very first appointment Mike knew and understood exactly how I envisaged my dream smile and made that dream a reality. For anyone considering cosmetic dental treatment, my advice would be, do it! I’ve never looked back.” Ross Ross was really unhappy with his smile as there had been some wear of his upper front teeth over time. He wanted to improve this and to have a bright white smile. We initially opted for a very common, minimally invasi ..read more

Invisalign is a tooth straightening system that allows us to move teeth in a predictable way and doesn’t have the drawbacks associated with traditional fixed wire braces. It uses discreet, clear aligners which sit over the teeth and are changed every week or two. Over a number of weeks or months, the teeth are brought into the position we want them to be in.  When I was growing up, two of my top front teeth (lateral incisors) didn’t develop. As a result, I was left with a very “gappy” smile which I have been very self conscious of for at least twenty years. I had braces when I was a chi ..read more

It has always been my desire to provide dentistry of the very best quality, that lasts. As with everything, that does come at a price. Whilst I know we are not the most expensive practice, we are certainly a long way away from being the cheapest. What I do hope and strive for, is to provide exceptional value for money. The quality of what we do, the materials we use and the quality of the aftercare we provide, is what allows us to offer a 10 year guarantee on our implants and a five year guarantee on the lab work that goes on top of dental implants and also our standard crown and bridge wor ..read more

I began working at PDC Dental, now known as Alex Jones Dentistry, in March 2017, fresh out of training with just 6 months of practice under my belt at a small NHS surgery in the Peak District. During this time I was introduced to Alex, who was looking to employ a newly qualified dentist in an apprentice role with the view to introducing them into the world of private dentistry. After a couple of meetings I was offered the position and I jumped at the chance as I knew that Alex was providing the type of dental care that I was aspiring to offer. When I now look back, I appreciate the amount o ..read more

When I qualified from Sheffield University back in 1999, having studied there for eight years, my career ahead of me was an exciting and long-awaited prospect ..read more
