Braces & Invisalign

Fixed braces are brackets and wires attached to the teeth; clear aligners such as Invisalign are removable trays worn in sequence. Which suits you depends on what needs moving, your age and how reliably you can follow instructions, so ask an orthodontist or dentist to assess you before you commit.

Dental Implants

A dental implant is a small post placed in the jawbone to support a crown, bridge or denture. Suitability depends on healthy gums and enough bone, and treatment usually takes place in stages. Ask who will plan and place the implant, how follow-up works and what happens if it fails.

Root Canal Treatment

Root canal treatment removes infected or damaged tissue from inside a tooth so the tooth can be kept rather than extracted. It is usually carried out under local anaesthetic over one or more visits, and a crown may be advised afterwards. On the NHS it falls within Band 2 charges.

Teeth Whitening

In the UK, teeth whitening products containing more than 0.1% hydrogen peroxide may only be supplied for use by or under the supervision of a registered dental professional. Beauty salons and kits that exceed that limit are not lawful. Check that your provider is on the GDC register.

Veneers

A veneer covers the front surface of a tooth, mainly to change its appearance, while a crown caps the whole tooth to protect or rebuild it. Both involve shaping the tooth. Crowns are usually chosen when a tooth is weakened or heavily restored, veneers when the tooth is otherwise sound.

Dentures

Dentures replace missing teeth and can be full or partial. They are made to fit your mouth and may need adjustment while you get used to them. On the NHS they fall within Band 3 charges. Clean them daily, remove them at night as advised and see your dentist if they stop fitting.

Crowns & Bridges

Crowns cap a damaged tooth and bridges replace missing teeth by anchoring to neighbouring teeth. Practices below mention them on their own websites.

Children's Dentistry

In England, NHS dental treatment is free for some groups, including children under 18, people under 19 in qualifying full-time education, pregnant women and those who had a baby in the last 12 months, and people receiving certain benefits. Check the current rules on NHS.uk and tell the practice before treatment.

Dental Sedation

Dental sedation helps people stay relaxed for treatment and is different from general anaesthesia. Options include inhalation sedation, oral sedation and intravenous sedation. It may suit people with dental anxiety or complex treatment. Ask the practice what type it offers, who provides it and what aftercare you need.

Gum Care

Gum disease often starts as gingivitis, with red, swollen gums that bleed when you brush. Gingivitis can be reversed with good oral hygiene, but untreated it can progress to periodontitis and damage the supporting bone. See a dentist if your gums bleed regularly or you notice loose teeth.

Tooth Extraction

Tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth that cannot be saved. Practices below mention extractions or wisdom-tooth removal on their own websites.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find a dentist for a specific treatment in Hertfordshire?
Pick the treatment and your town below. Each page lists the practices in that town that mention the treatment on their own website, with Google rating, review count, hours and contact details.
Does a treatment page mean the practice definitely offers that treatment?
No. The lists are based on what each practice states on its own website. They are not a verified treatment menu, so phone the practice to confirm it offers what you need and who will carry it out.
Why do some treatments only have town pages in the larger towns?
A treatment page is built only where at least five practices in a town state it, so the comparison is meaningful. In smaller towns, use the town page and its treatment filter.
Does this directory show prices?
No. Prices vary by case and practice and are not listed here. Ask for a written treatment plan and cost, and see our guides on NHS charges and on choosing a dentist.
