Comprehensive Assessment

Your appointment begins with a detailed review of your teeth, gums, bite, and soft tissue so we can identify concerns early and help protect your wellbeing. Digital radiographs and scans may be recommended to provide precise insight into areas not visible to the eye. The process feels gentle, thoughtful, and supportive of your long term health.

Our priority is not just to treat issues as they arise but to prevent them and equip you with knowledge that empowers you to feel in control of your dental journey.

Preventative Care

Personalised Guidance

Everyone has a unique oral environment. We tailor recommendations to your lifestyle and goals so your routine care remains simple and manageable. You receive guidance that is easy to follow and designed to help you maintain stability between visits. The goal is comfort, clarity, and peace of mind.

If treatment is required, your dentist explains options clearly so decisions feel informed and balanced. You are encouraged to ask questions and explore choices at your own pace.

A Calm and Supportive Environment

Routine exams should never feel rushed. Soft lighting, gentle tone, and steady guidance create an atmosphere where you feel safe and understood. We value the trust you place in us and honour it through care that feels grounded, professional, and warm.

Our team takes pride in creating an experience that feels restorative in every sense. When your visit is complete, you leave feeling informed, cared for, and secured in your oral health.

  • This experience has been truly transformative. My dentist was exceptionally supportive, always available to address concerns, answer questions, make necessary adjustments, and provide reassurance that everything was progressing as expected. He ensured that my new teeth were perfectly suited for me.

  • I travel 45 minutes to see these ladies, the surgery practice is absolutely beautiful, clean and cozy. Staff are so kind and welcoming. The fact I had a blanket and headphones to watch whatever I wanted on Netflix was a big bonus too. Last appointment I fell asleep, they are so gentle and caring I will never go anywhere else. Best dentist I’ve ever had and I had a few as a kid with braces

    Courtney Knight
  • I have just completed first stage of an implant, having my tooth extracted. Dr Namm was excellent and explained the whole process to me. There was absolutely no pain involved in extracting the tooth. It was just so good...I was really impressed as I have had extensive dental work in the past and it has always been extremely painful. The after-care is second to none. I honestly can't recommend Altura Dental highly enough.

    Michelle Porter
  • Very professional and friendly staff . I’m very happy with the results. And I love the follow up call to make sure we ok . I highly recommend this dental clinic. Thank you DR Namm and the helping staff .

    Mazen Trabolsi
  • I recently had major dental surgery at Altura Cleveland and can't praise, and thank, them enough for their amazing work, care and professionalism. Dr Shaiel, from the first meeting to the final fitting (about 8 visits over a few months) explained everything in layman's terms as to what each treatment would entail, the costs associated with each option and the best options for my final outcome, and the care and time taken to reach that goal was exceptional. I would highly recommend Dr Shaiel and his team.

Routine Exam FAQ’s

Routine exams are recommended every six months, though your dentist will tailor the timing to your individual needs. A clean is often included unless more detailed care requires a separate visit.

X-rays are only taken when clinically appropriate, with your clinician explaining the reason. If you feel anxious, the team is happy to accommodate you with extra care and a gentle pace.
