At Dr Michael Frain Ltd, we believe great dental health starts with attentive, compassionate general dentistry. Our goal is simple: to help you enjoy a healthy, confident smile — easily and with peace of mind.
Our general dentistry appointments go far beyond a simple check-up. We include digital scans, detailed assessments of your gum health and TMJ, and a full review of your oral wellbeing — all designed to support your long-term health and comfort.
At Dr M Frain Ltd, our check-ups are thorough and caring. We assess your teeth, gums, jaw, and screen for oral cancer—always prioritising your comfort and long-term health.
Each check-up includes a comprehensive assessment to monitor changes, catch problems early, and guide any needed treatments—keeping your mouth healthy at every stage.
We carefully examine each tooth for signs of decay, damage, or wear. Early detection helps us prevent more serious issues and keep your teeth strong and healthy.
Healthy gums are essential for overall oral health. We check for signs of inflammation, bleeding, or gum disease to help prevent tooth loss and maintain a stable foundation for your teeth.
We assess the jaw joints (TMJ) for any signs of tension, clicking, or pain that could indicate bite issues or strain, helping to prevent chronic discomfort and jaw problems.
As part of your check-up, we screen for any unusual changes in the mouth, lips, tongue, and throat. Early detection of oral cancer can be life-saving.
A lot of people feel anxious about visiting the dentist — genuinely, you’re not the only one. Whether you’ve had a difficult experience in the past or you just don’t love the idea of someone looking around your mouth, we completely understand.
And we’re here to make things feel different.
At Dr Michael Frain Ltd, we take things at your pace. We’ll explain each step clearly, check in regularly, and give you the time and support you need. You can pause at any moment, ask questions, and let us know what makes you feel comfortable.
You might be surprised at how different a dental visit can feel when you’re truly listened to, cared for, and taken seriously.
Many of our most nervous patients now tell us they actually don’t mind their appointments anymore — some even enjoy them.
Your comfort matters to us.
Your confidence matters to us.
And we’ll do everything we can to make your visit feel calm and manageable.
No matter how diligent your daily routine, sometimes teeth get chipped, cracked, or lost. When that happens, our durable, natural-looking porcelain crowns and bridges can repair and protect your smile.
A dental bridge replaces missing teeth by anchoring to the neighbouring teeth. It not only restores your smile and bite but also prevents other teeth from shifting out of place.
Crowns act like a protective cap over a damaged tooth, restoring its shape and strength. They’re ideal for fixing chips, cracks, or breaks, helping protect the tooth underneath and keep it strong.
If you think of fillings as dark, obvious patches, it’s time for a change.Modern fillings use tooth‑coloured composite material that blends perfectly with your natural enamel. They repair cavities discreetly, restoring both the look and function of your tooth.
With white fillings from us, no one will ever know you’ve had treatment — just a healthy, natural-looking smile.

General dentistry focuses on maintaining oral health, preventing disease, and treating issues such as decay, gum problems, and infection. Cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving the appearance of the teeth and smile, including treatments like whitening, bonding, veneers, and alignment. Many treatments overlap, as healthy teeth are the foundation of a confident smile.
Routine dental check-ups help detect problems early, often before you feel symptoms. During a check-up, your dentist examines your teeth, gums, and mouth, checks existing dental work, and looks for signs of decay, gum disease, or other concerns. Regular visits help maintain long-term oral health and reduce the need for more complex treatment.
A dental check-up may include a visual examination, gum health assessment, bite evaluation, and oral cancer screening. X-rays may be taken when needed to check areas not visible to the eye, such as between teeth or below the gumline.
Healthy gums support healthy teeth. Gum disease can lead to tooth loss if left untreated and has been linked to other health conditions. Keeping gums healthy helps maintain strong teeth, fresh breath, and overall oral wellbeing.
A dental crown is a protective cap placed over a tooth to restore its strength, shape, and appearance. Crowns are commonly used for teeth that are weakened, heavily filled, broken, or following root canal treatment.
A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring an artificial tooth to neighbouring teeth or restorations. It restores function, improves appearance, and helps prevent surrounding teeth from shifting out of position.
Tooth-coloured fillings are made from composite resin and blend naturally with the surrounding tooth. Unlike traditional silver (amalgam) fillings, they are more discreet and require less removal of natural tooth structure, making them a popular modern choice.
