Plans Before Treatment
Each option is explained along with the number of visits and the costs, in writing and with item numbers, so you can make a decision in your own time.
Our practice
Who MS Dental Is
MS Dental is a family practice with clinics in Cardiff, Fletcher and Mayfield. Dr Monika Shah is the principal dentist and leads the clinical team across all three, while Chantelle, the practice manager, looks after the running of each location. Several clinicians move between the clinics, so the person you see at Fletcher may work at Cardiff or Mayfield on other days.
Of the three clinics, Fletcher is the closest to Gillieston Heights. It sits in the village precinct next to the shops on Churnwood Drive. Because implant and laser treatment are carried out there, patients from Gillieston Heights who need a longer course of care are generally not sent to another address halfway through, and can plan every visit around the same drive.
How we work
How the Fletcher Clinic Works
Assessment Comes First
Implants, whitening and aligners all begin with a check of your teeth, gums and general health, so the dentist can explain which options may suit you.
Dentistry with Care
This motto of the MS Dental group shows up in practical ways at Fletcher, such as free parking at the door, a step-free way in and ground-floor treatment rooms.
