Owain Dimmick explains his practice’s five points of contact with the patient.

At Pont Steffan Dental Practice, we are committed to all the preventive aspects of dentistry. Our team works closely to avoid the need for preventable treatments. This is achieved through regular visits to our dental hygienist and/or therapist. By spending the time educating patients on oral health, hygiene and diet, we can reduce their treatment need and improve the patient’s experience of visiting the dentist. Patients quickly learn to take responsibility for their own mouth and understand that, if they follow the advice given they can avoid preventable dental treatments. This has a resoundingly positive effect on both patients and staff. Visiting the dentist becomes a more pleasant experience for patients, and a practice full of happy patients makes for an enjoyable work environment for the staff. From the moment a patient requests to join the practice they are introduced to our preventative approach. One of the benefits of using a modern dental team is that there are multiple points at which we can provide oral health advice.
