Our hygiene professionals closely monitor your oral health and make recommendations if they see anything untoward or suspicious.

Hygienists provide a huge amount of information on how to best care for your teeth, gums and mouth and how to keep them healthy. They will demonstrate how to best clean and floss your teeth as well as providing information on diet, lifestyle and other factors which promote oral hygiene.

My molars have been difficult for years, until I found Parrock Dental. I've been treated with respect and kindness and given the best treatment that I could've wanted.So far, I've had a couple of teeth rebuilt, rather than patched up, and I've had one implant.Dr Rik is so reassuring and professional and the whole team looks after you so well.I am very happy with my implant, it is comfortable and easy to use and keep clean, the colour blends into my mouth perfectly.I also discovered how useful dental hygiene treatment and advice is. I had no idea how to get rid of my swollen gums nor that you should have actual gaps between your teeth at gum level. I have always been to the dentist twice a year, however no one has talked about brushing at an angle between the gum and the tooth!Thank you Parrock Dental, I wish that I'd come to you years ago.

After having two bridges fitted in my childhood these both failed at the same time requiring 4 implants (I also required two half crowns). I was new to the practice but found the staff welcoming, friendly, and very efficient. The treatment and end result has been exceptional - very pleased.

Superb dental surgery. I have just completed my implant journey with Dr Rik. The whole team at Parrock Street are expectional. I did have a phobia off dentists but since i walked into Parrock Street Dental over 15 years ago that phobia dissappeared and i enjoy now visiting the practice. I can not thank Dr Rik and his team enough, On the day off surgery i was very anxious but the team reassured me and Dr Rik approach made me feel at ease (I was panicing over nothing) Having implants was the best decision I have made. I can now smile without hiding my gaps and my confidences has grown. As soon as you enter the surgery your greeted with a warm welcoming and feel at ease instantly. Thank you Dr Rik and your excellent team.

I found the Parrock Dental centre via a Google search from my wife. I had an issue from a previous dental surgery which caused my crown at the front of my teeth to repeatedly fall out. This caused me huge anxiety, fortunately for me my wife found Dr Rik and Parrock Dental Surgery, I contacted them to have an initial consultation and see how best to rectify the problem. From my first consultation with Dr Rik he took me through the process of understanding the underlying issue and what my options were. He and the team are extremely knowledgeable and put my mind at easy. What stood out for me was unlike other clinics it was not about selling me a treatment or consultation, it was about empowering me with the knowledge and understanding of the issue and how they would solve my problem. Dr Rik suggested I have a think before I proceed a lot of other clinics always kept the financial aspects as the topic of conversations. Dr Rik and the team since starting my Invisalign and implant treatment have gone above and beyond for me always accommodated my needs and always at hand to answer questions and putting my mind at easy. The clinic has exceptional facilities and is maintained to a extremely high standard. I’m on course for some brilliant results my confidence in my smile is high and the treatment has been the best choice I have made. I would not hesitate to recommend Parrock Dental Centre for your dental needs.Kind regardsSanderson

I don't normally write reviews, but I am so pleased with my implants I thought I would on this occasion. Dr. Rik Trevidi embodies the essence of a reassuring and kind dentist. From the outset, his welcoming demeanor instantly puts you at ease. I was so nervous and embarrassed at how bad my teeth were and felt nothing could be done for me.Throughout the examination, Dr. Rik's tone was reassuring and he was able offer me different options. At no point did I feel under any pressure and all the team were so kind and supportive.Dr. Rick and his team take the time to listen, addressing any concerns with empathy and clarity. This personalized attention fosters a sense of trust and confidence in his care.I had a full set of implants done in a day and the difference it has made is beyond words. I can now smile on photos without covering my mouth and feel so much happier.I felt really cared for both before, during and after the treatment and would strongly recommend Dr Rik and his team, thank you x
