Ensuring your child has a healthy, happy smile begins with the right dental care, and at Market House Dental Practice, children’s dentistry is our passion.

Our practice is dedicated to providing exceptional dental care to the youngest members of your family, including those with special needs and dental anxieties. This comprehensive guide delves into what makes Market House Dental the premier choice for your child’s dental needs.

Why is children’s dentistry important?

Introducing children to dental care routines at an early age is crucial for preventing future dental anxiety and ensuring the development of strong, healthy teeth. It also helps to minimise anxiety and reinforces a positive experience, getting them used to the sounds and smells of the dental environment from an early age.

We use state-of-the-art technology

At Market House Dental Practice we are continually investing in state-of-the-art modern technologies to make your experience with us more comfortable. This allows us to look after you in the most effective way.

We use state-of-the-art technology to record a digital image of your mouth in the least intrusive way, using the wireless flexible digital 3Shape TRIOS 3 scanner. This small instrument allows us to view the inside of your mouth live on the screen where we can show you any problem areas and discuss a treatment plan specifically designed for you. This scanner can also create a digital impression of your teeth, from which we can show you models of how the various treatment options would work best.

Take a look at our website to see the 3Shape TRIOS 3 scanner in action.

If we need a detailed radiographic scan of your entire jaw, we use a digital 3D 3-in-1 scanner system; the Kavo Dexis OP 3D CBCT. Together this enables us to view instant digital images of your entire jaw in 3D, totally pain-free and similar to how you would view an MRI scan, with no need for multiple scans. This enables us to diagnose issues faster without the need for lengthy or uncomfortable mouth x-rays.

Preventative approach to dentistry

Proper tooth cleaning is essential for maintaining good oral hygiene and preventing dental issues such as cavities and gum disease.

  •   We offer our patients either a 1 hour or a 30 minute appointment with a specially trained nurse who will discuss with you how you currently look after your teeth.
  •   They will then demonstrate an advanced tooth cleaning methodology.
  •   You will have time to practise the technique and discuss the best toothbrush and interproximal techniques appropriate to your teeth.
  •   You will also be able to ask any questions you wish as you go along.

We find this is especially useful when teaching dentistry to children, so they are equipped with the correct brushing techniques from a young age. Enquire about an appointment today.

Children’s tooth straightening

At Market House we offer two modern orthodontic treatments to improve your smile. This results in quicker treatment times, with minimal fuss or interruption to your daily life.

Age 7 is the age where permanent teeth start to come through in place of baby teeth. This allows early detection of overcrowding teeth or a misaligned bite, that can be corrected early on and prevent teeth extraction later on in life. 

Clear Aligners

Made of a thin, custom-made transparent plastic, they can correct a variety of mis-alignment problems. These include crowding of teeth, gaps and overjet and overbite concerns. They are removable so you can take them out to eat, drink and brush your teeth. 

The Inman Aligner
This is a removable appliance tailored to correct the front teeth swiftly. It’s efficient, offering noticeable results often in just 6-18 weeks.

Designed for both comfort and convenience, the Inman Aligner provides a quicker alternative to traditional braces or aligner systems. It’s ideal if you are seeking faster cosmetic enhancement of your front teeth.
