I have been a patient at Dawood & Tanner for over 12 years seeing Dr Fiona Mackillop for restorative treatments due to gum disease. As part of my ongoing treatment, I also see hygienists Elizabeth Simpson and Tannaz Joorabchian regularly.Everyone that I have met at the practice is not only really professional and very good at what they do but they are also very friendly and are experts at making patients feel at ease before any procedure. I am never in any pain after treatment which must be a testament to the skill of Dr Mackillop. I would not hesitate to recommend her. The same is true of hygienists Elizabeth & Tannaz. My teeth always feel and look super clean after dental hygiene with them.I always feel well informed about any treatment I need as all the details are confirmed in advance in writing so I know what to expect and if I have any questions these are answered quickly.

Fiona MacKillop, my periodontist and Taz, my hygienist have looked after my teeth for years and without these brilliant experts I definitely would have lost teeth and suffered hugely.Fiona MacKillop recommended I see an oral surgeon recently as she suspected there was something wrong with my gums and the skin in my mouth.To explain for 1.5 years since the 4th Covid vaccine I have been suffering very debilitating external skin diseases .I have seen many dermatologists without any results or cure .Finally Professor Fedele following several biopsies diagnosed Lichen Planus an autoimmune disease that has been triggered by the Covid vaccine.This has led to further investigations where Lichen planus has been detected in other areas of my body.Without Fiona’s prompt referral I would still be suffering and none the wiser as to what is wrong with me.Possibly without treatment it could have turned cancerous.I am hugely grateful and so lucky to have had such advanced and thorough treatment at Dawood and Tanner .It is an extremely advanced practice and the staff and kind, yet exemplary and efficient.Fiona and Taz have saved my teeth and possibly my life.My thanks and gratitude to you both and all the staff .

So i first heard of Dawood and Tanner from a radio ad. I took a look at their website and was very impressed with what i saw. A vast array of treatment options and services all under one roof. I had to check them out. Best thing i ever did! Even the first phone call to arrange an appointment was more warm and welcoming than anything i had ever experienced previously from anywhere else. I met with Fiona and Emily and they made me feel so at ease. Fiona explained things in a very simple, knowledgeable and professional manner but also in a way that didn't scare me half to death. I learned more from just one visit than i had in the last 20 years. I have been there a few times recently, and now Liz the hygienist is also looking after me expertly too. Each time it has been a positive experience for me and i feel totally relaxed each time i go there. We have a good laugh too and i leave there equally relaxed.I have read a lot of the other reviews on here for D&T and they echo all of my thoughts completely. There are a couple of negative ones though that don't make any sense to me whatsoever and are nowhere close to my experiences.Believe me.....if you're looking for a fantastic dentist , you're on the right page. If in a few days/weeks you're still not sure and still sitting on the fence, then you must like splinters!I'm looking forward to seeing Fiona, Emily and Liz again soon.I know i'm in good hands.

I have been attending Dawood and Tanner for some 24 years! My mouth was in need of a lot of work, despite the fact that I regularly visited a dentist (evidently not a good one though). My root canals were failing and I had gum disease! At Dawood and Tanner I had many hygiene visits and deep cleaning from Fiona MacKillop and then she performed surgery on my gums. Eventually I was rid of gum disease. Then Andrew Dawood sorted out my root canals and my implant. The hygienist helped me with teeth whitening. I developed a gap between my front two teeth due to the previous gum disease allowing the teeth to twist and that needed to be addressed with orthodontics. I had braces fitted to both my top and bottom teeth to straighten them to prevent the damage getting worse. One and a half years later they were straight. Next issue: my jaw was slightly crooked causing my teeth to wear down at an angle. To address this problem Andrew Chandrapal bonded my teeth and Fiona adjusted my crowns to create an even biting surface. Jenny Huntley makes sure my hygiene is kept up to scratch; I see her every three months. Over the years I have seen the business grow, adding more staff and more services, but still staying warm and genuinely friendly. They have some of the best equipment anywhere and they work as a team. At one point 3 experts had a meeting about my teeth!Yes it has stretched my finances over the years but I still have my teeth - I can eat well, they look really healthy and natural, and will continue to last me the next 24 years with help from the team at Dawood & Tanner.

Loved the new 'Pressured Water' cleaning tool the hygienist Chloe used. So much gentler than the usual methods that always set my nerves gangling. Excellent session. Very impressed.

I've been attending Dawood and Tanner for a number of years and I would highly recommend my dentist Fiona. She is extremely professional, an expert in her field and is an exceptional dentist. If anyone is looking for a first class dentist, look no further than Fiona. I would also like to thank Emily who has always been amazing with me too.In addition to this, I would also highly recommend Liz who is my hygienist at Dawood and Tanner, she is the best of the best!

Removing Plaque and tartar

Scale and Polish

Your teeth will feel amazing after having one of our outstanding hygienists or therapists perform a scale and polish on your teeth and gums. During your dental hygiene treatment we meticulously remove any plaque and calculus deposits from your teeth and polish them to feel fresh. You also gain peace of mind, as part of our treatment consists of having a professional exam of your oral health to ensure you are always well.

Your hygienist or therapist will also advise you on the best at home methods and tools to maintain your teeth between visits.

We want to help you keep your own natural teeth healthy and looking their best throughout your life. Excellent oral hygiene and forming the right habits from an early age will almost entirely prevent gum disease and tooth decay for most people.

Your hygienist can help you resolve dental concerns, such as sensitivity or bad breath.

Book an AppointmentCall Us

What to expect at your first Hygiene appointment:

  • A dental and medical history
  • Discussion of your current teeth cleaning regimen
  • Gum assessment
  • Cancer screening
  • Thorough plaque and calculus removal
  • Recommendations for your home care

It is important to protect your teeth from gum disease, because if it is allowed to progress, a ‘pocket’ develops between the tooth and the gum, and bone around the tooth is lost.  If you notice that your gums bleed when brushed or are slightly swollen (and there may be no obvious signs), it is important to have regular dental reviews and hygienist sessions.

Teeth compromised by the presence of deep pockets and the loss of the supporting bone, become loose and may move or drift, causing collapse of the ‘bite’, and unsightly spacing. Gum disease is the most important cause of adult tooth loss, and may lead to the need for more extensive treatments, such as Periodontal Surgery or Dental Implants.

Deep Cleaning – Active Therapy

Gum Disease Treatment

Active therapy is advised when gum disease has progressed and can no longer be treated with regular home care and hygiene appointments. One of our highly trained dental hygienists will remove tartar below the gum line and clean and smooth the root surface, thus allowing the healing process to begin. Local anaesthesia is used to ensure your comfort since the tissues are delicate and may be tender.

This treatment is often done in conjunction with periodontal treatment carried by our Specialist in Periodontics, Dr Fiona MacKillop. Fiona has specialist training in treating, managing and preventing gum disease. From cases of bleeding gums, gingival (gum) recession, tooth mobility, bad breath (halitosis) and oral soft tissue anomalies, this offers the very best, gold standard in available treatment options.

If you maintain good home care afterwards and visit us at the recommended intervals, the progression of gum disease should stop, and your gums will heal and become firm and pink again in no time!

Implants, Crowns and Restorations– Aftercare and Hygiene

Maintaining Restorations

We can advise you on which of the vast number of different toothbrushes and other cleaning aids to use for cleaning difficult areas of the mouth such as under bridges, or around implant restorations.

Meticulous home care and regular examination and maintenance with our hygienists or therapists will ensure that you are doing all that can be done to keep your teeth and gums healthy and your new restorations looking good.
