Treatment Inner Image - Haymarket Dental

Routine hygiene visits, like dental check-ups, are at the heart of maintaining a healthy mouth.

At Haymarket Dental, we have invested in a tooth polishing system which offers a gentle but powerful clean, making sure we remove stains in hard-to-reach places like between your teeth.

How our patients benefit from hygiene appointments

Reduce gum disease risk – The biggest benefit of hygiene visits is that they reduce your gum disease risk. The maintenance provided when a dentist cleans your teeth is highly preventive and reduces unpleasant symptoms like bleeding gums, bad breath and loose teeth.
Stain-free teeth – Plaque leaves brown stains along your gum line, discolouring your teeth. Having staining removed will leave you with healthier-looking teeth, and with this comes improved confidence levels (this is one of our patients’ favourite things about having their teeth professionally cleaned).
Air polishing for a deeper clean – Our air polishing system is a game-changer for removing deep plaque and tartar staining that your hygienist can’t reach with hand-scaling equipment. Not all dental practices offer this cleaning system, which we highly recommend to all patients for that gleaming, confident smile and fresh mouth feeling.

FAQs

Will I get gum disease if I don’t regularly visit the dentist?

Skipping dental hygiene visits increases your risk of gum disease, as the plaque and tartar that build up on your teeth over time can start to eat away at your gums and underlying jawbone. Gum disease is the biggest threat to dental health (sadly, it’s the main reason for tooth loss in adults). During your appointment, your dentist will gauge how often they think you should visit, based on factors like:

Whether or not you smoke.
Your age.
Your oral hygiene routine and diet.
Your medical history.

Do you offer treatment for gum disease?

Yes. We offer in-practice treatment for treating gum disease and can address the aesthetic changes brought about by the disease. Read more about our Gum Disease Treatment here.

After years of avoiding the dentist due to bad experiences, I’m so grateful to have found Dr. Kiki. She was kind, patient, and such a great listener — she made me feel completely comfortable. I explained how much my teeth were affecting my confidence, and I truly felt that she cared. She completely transformed my smile and gave me the confidence to smile on my wedding day. I had so many compliments on my teeth, and it honestly made me feel amazing. I couldn’t be happier with the results, and I’ll always recommend her — she is super lovely and amazing at what she does!!

I had my composite bonding and whitening done from Kiki over a year ago now, the difference at the time was unbelievable and still looks the exact same now. She is amazing at what she does and I'd highly recommend her to anyone and already have recommended her to a fewNash is also my dentist in the practice who is great, he gives you a lot of good detail after check ups/treatments, makes you feel at ease and is someone I really trust with my teeth

During the crossing from the Netherlands to Newcastle, I developed a toothache. Treatment was necessary. Upon arriving at the hotel in Edinburgh, I looked for the nearest dentist and went in as early as possible the next morning to ask if they could help me. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The assistant immediately checked if there was room, and fortunately, due to a cancellation, I was able to be seen immediately. The costs were clearly discussed in advance. Afterward, I could easily pay online and received a digital invoice. I also received the x-ray by email for my own dentist's information.The dentist in charge, Dr. Andrew Norman, acted decisively, was empathetic, and calmly and clearly explained what was going on and what he was going to do. I was able to continue my tour of Scotland without any pain.

Nervous patient here, historic painful experiences at the dentist. Andrew was very understanding. Took great care to explain the process comprehensively and clearly. Have to praise the assistant too, so caring. The whole process (a fairly complicated onlay) was pain free and done in a day. Would not hesitate to recommend.

Pedro has been outstanding with helping me get my smile wedding ready! From changing out metal fillings, to teeth whitening and composite bonding he has been great. Very warm and welcoming, puts you at ease and takes great care over his work with incredible attention to detail. I would highly recommend Pedro to anyone requiring dental work in Edinburgh!

Pedro is both professional and personable. He considers the functional and aesthetic elements of his dental work as well as patient comfort. He is consultative in his approach, always happy to provide more detail and clear on the possible options available. I have, and would, recommend him to friends and family.

I’ve been a patient of Alison at Haymarket dental for 2 years now and feel so taken care of, she really pays attention to what’s happening with my teeth and helps me take preventative measures as opposed to just reactionary ones, as well as just being an absolutely lovely person. I feel like my teeth are now in really good shape and don’t dread my dental visits :). The whole clinic is fab, 10/10 recommend

Truly professional and skilled dentistry. Had a few issues with the procedure to install a full upper set by implants which were dealt with seamlessly by the practice. Thanks Andrew and Stacey 👍💕🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I recently had composite bonding done by Dr Kiki Norman. I cannot be happier with the result! The entire experience was professional, comfortable and surprisingly enjoyable. Dr Norman took the time to understand exactly what I wanted, explained everything clearly, and delivered results that exceeded my expectations. The bonding looks so natural - seamlessly blended and beautifully shaped. I can’t stop smiling! If you are considering cosmetic dental work, Dr Kiki Norman is the best!

I recently visited Haymarket Dental for a check up and then treatment. On arrival I was met with very friendly reception staff which was very welcoming.My assessment and treatment was completed by Nash. The assessment was very thorough and he spent his time discussing his findings and treatment options. When it came to the treatment Nash made me feel at ease, he explained the treatment in further detail and made sure I was comfortable throughout (as comfortable as you would expect from dental treatment).Overall I definately recommend seeing Nash and visiting Haymarket Dental.

I recently had a number of appointments at Haymarket Dental as I had not seen a dentist in a few years and was in serious need of treatment. The receptionists were very helpful and friendly on the phone in organising an appointment on short notice. I was seen by Pedro who was wonderful - he was very clear in explaining all stages of the work, answered all questions I had and put me at ease throughout. All the work was done with precision and care and my teeth have a new lease of life! I'll be returning for future appointments.

The best experience from the beginning - with advice and options…. all way to the end- with one happy proud smile.I had a silver crown replaced which Andrew treated and replaced with great care and reassurance throughout the procedure. Today, I went back to have an implant fitted and again, had complete reassurance it was going to be fine. He gave time to answer all questions with reference to scans to help me understand more.Would 100% recommend- also just the loveliest staff in their dental practice!

I’ve been attending Haymarket Dental Practice for a number of years, with Andy Norman continuing to keep my teeth in excellent condition, with valuable advice and help to me and my family.Today I had a double appointment to remove an old NHS metal crown, and a 30 year old front crown.The resulting porcelain crowns are fantastic, especially my front one which is an exact replica of my other front tooth in shape and colour.I can definitely recommend Andy and his team without question.

From the minute I arrived at Haymarket Dental, I was made to feel very welcome by the lovely reception staff. My appointment was with Dr Kiki Norman and she was just amazing! I was so apprehensive and a sceptical about getting whitening and composite bonding, but the results just blew me away! Credit to everyone at Haymarket Dental. My only regret is that I didn’t find Dr Kiki Norman years ago!

Andrew and the team have taken care of my dental health and wellbeing for over 10 years now which alone speaks volumes. I continue to highly recommend the practice in terms of pro-active approach, advice, treatment quality and longevity.

I quite like going to the dentist and that's 100% down to the team at Haymarket Dental. Everyone is cheerful, kind and just gets on with it. Fearing the dentist needs to be a thing of the past when you have really good dentists out there to take care of you.

I have recently had some treatments done at Haymarket Dental with Dr Kiki Norman and not only am I delighted with the results, but the care and professionalism throughout has been amazing. I have also previously had treatments with Dr Nashvin Padayachee and have been equally thrilled with the results and fully reassured at every step. All of the staff are just incredibly lovely, professional and welcoming and I would highly recommend Haymarket Dental!

I have been attending Haymarket Dental for many years, and can honestly say that over the years without exception, I have been very impressed with the quality of my treatment. Dr. Andrew Norman is an exceptional dentist, who takes time to explain each procedure, and aways treats his patients with respect. I have had five dental implants, and I cannot thank Dr, Norman enough for all his work in helping me to smile again.

I have been attending Haymarket dental practice for the last year under Dr. Nashvin Padayachee. As a very nervous dental patient he put me at ease from the start.

I would highly recommend Haymarket Dental Practice.

So highly recommended

Thomas Stephen

After doing some research online, I decided to enquire about composite bonding and teeth whitening. Dr Kiki and Emma have been truly amazing. I highly recommend them as they won’t disappoint! With their help they have allowed me to achieve my perfect smile, making me feel so much more confident in myself. As someone who has always felt insecure about their smile, I cannot thank these two enough for the work they have done! 😁 🦷The practise staff are knowledgeable, friendly, kind and compassionate. Often dental appointments can be unnerving and cause anxiety, however since being welcomed into the practise, I look forward to visiting Haymarket Dental as the team here appreciate their clients and always go the extra mile to ensure satisfaction.

I have been visiting Alison at Haymarket Dental for a few years now and I've always had a very plesant and comfortable experience with her. She's always happy to answer any questions I have and makes me feel welcome. I am usually a very anxious dental patient but she is able to put me at ease and make any required procedure painless, including a recent crown I had put in.If you're looking for a caring and gentle dentist, I'd highly recommend Alison.

Would like to say Andrew done a fantastic job repairing my implant which had a fractured screw. He done an amazing job removing the broken screw from implant and tooth and fitting new screw. His expertise saved me a lot of money being able to save implant that was fitted in 2014 and not having to have a new implant done. Andrew is a superb dentist and would highly recommend him. All the staff at the practice are friendly and welcoming.Kind regardsJohn Mulholland

I've been with Haymarket Dental for many years. Sharon and the reception staff are always very welcoming and the dentists who have treated me are very caring and knowledgeable. I've always had a big fear of going to the dentists but they along with the dental nurses have saint like patience with me and make sure I am comfortable at all times and I know most of all they care about my oral health. They offer lots of advice on what I should be doing at home to maintain good teeth and gums and have some good chat to help make the experience to make the visit more enjoyable.
