Healthy mouth, healthy body

Covid-19 has highlighted the importance of our health, say Edinburgh dentists

“Healthy mouth, healthy body” is an old saying that has never been more important, explains Edinburgh dentist Chris.

A large proportion of the people who contacted Cherrybank Dental Spa during lockdown with dental emergencies had not visited a dentist for more than a year. We always stress the importance of regular dental health examinations, so that any issues can be spotted early – before they become painful and more difficult to treat.

Dental health and fighting Covid-19

New research published in the British Dental Journal recently by Dr V. Samsoon linked poor oral health and coronavirus. It explained that our mouths include a healthy amount of bacteria, called microbiome, that can normally be exchanged between our mouth and our lungs.

When we have poor oral health, pathogenic bacteria (bad bacteria that cause disease) start to accumulate in our mouths and destroy that healthy balance. These bacteria can also be breathed into our lungs.  

One way these bacteria make us more vulnerable is by increasing our susceptibility to viral infections. Furthermore, when we are not healthy or we are infected by a viral infection they start to proliferate and create what is called a bacteria superinfection. This further compromises our already burdened immune system and in that way creates severe complications like pneumonia or acute respiratory syndrome.

Not seen a dentist for more than 12 months?

We know that it has been difficult to keep on top of regular dental visits over the past few months due to the government’s decision to close dental practices. Cherrybank Dental Spa is delighted to have reopened and we have heavily invested in anti-virus protection, on top of our usual strict decontamination measures.

If you are searching for reassuringly safe dental care, contact us today. We look forward to welcoming you and your family to our dental practice in Edinburgh.

Poor dental health risks

Is fear making you neglect your teeth?

Corporate dental insurers Unum Dental carried out some research last year that revealed some interesting facts. According to a survey of more than 2,000 private sector employees, more than a fifth (24%) of British workers say that a fear of feeling pain or discomfort is the reason they avoid the dentist.

Women were found to be more afraid, with over a quarter (27%) declaring that they put off the recommended two dental health examinations a year out of fear of pain, compared to 22% of men.

Poor dental health risks

Poor dental health is linked to heart disease, bacterial lung infections, premature births, diabetes and strokes, meaning regular visits for dental health reviews are vital to maintaining good general health and dental wellbeing.

We know that it has been difficult to keep on top of regular dental visits over the past few months due to the government’s decision to close dental practices. Cherrybank Dental Spa is delighted to have reopened and we have heavily invested in anti-virus protection, on top of our usual strict decontamination measures to help put your mind at rest.

After a long time of not visiting a dentist, I decided to put my trust in Cheery Bank Dental.I can confidently say that I have not been disappointed. My dentist Chris McCrudden and dental nurse Marta have always ensured that I was involved in the process and always took my opinion into consideration. There was such a wide variety of treatments to choose from and Chris suggested the porcelain veneers. I trusted his judgment and I am really glad I did. The process was really smooth, fast and pain free which was my biggest fear. If you are looking for any treatments, I most definitely recommend Cherry Bank Dental. You will not be disappointed. Thank you so much for everything and the confidence you have gave me. I have not stopped smiling since.read more

Cherrybank Dental Spa is a very welcoming and comfortable practice. What is most important, however, is the quality of dental treatment. I have total confidence in Robin, Audrey and others in Robin’s team. Dental assessments are done with total care, options are fully explained, and treatment is carried out with skill and precision. I’m grateful to have my dental needs looked after by Robin and the team at Cherrybank - thank you!read more

Amazing place. From the moment you walk in you feel relaxed. It’s clear to see why it’s called “dental spa”. I had a smile consultation with Tammy and she was wonderful. So lovely and so thorough. I barely had any questions because she covered everything I wanted to know and then some. I’m actually very excited to go forward with plans and hopefully get my dream smile and I’m feeling a lot less anxious about the dentist in general. This is definitely the place to go if you’re looking to transform your smile and want as much information as possible up front. The spa itself is super clean, staff are friendly and seem to really care about patient’s comfort and it’s just a lovely atmosphere to be inread more

I have been coming to the clinic for a couple of years and all are good experiences. My last treatment with Kirsty went better than expected. Plus she is always very professional and fast, you can see how much she loves her work. I never thought that I could be happy going to the dentist. The reception team is also very friendly and communicates impeccably, always willing to help.read more

I visited Cherrybank for Invisalign treatment and couldn't have been happier with the experience I had over 18 months or so. Every single member of staff is absolutely lovely, professional, reassuring and happy to go that extra mile at the drop of a hat. Cherrybank's environment, skills and patient care are outstanding. I'm so much happier with my smile and would highly recommend to others. Huge thanks to everyone (especially Chris and Tammy for putting up with my many demands!)read more

Are you thinking about finally overcoming your fear of going to the dentist? Are you desperatly in need of long overdue dental treatment? Have you been told by an NHS dentist that certain dental treatments will not be considered even if you were prepared to pay for it? If yes, I highly recommend to contact Cherrybank's friendly and helpful reception. Their receptionist listened well to any of my concerns and found the perfect person for me to start my dental journey with. After filling out a small questionnaire about my dental situation and my desired results, I was scheduled to meet Tammy, Cherrybank's Smile Advisor. On my first visit with her she was very well prepared and knew all the details about me which I have provided via the questionnaire without having to look at it during our appointment. She ensured me that my perfect smile can most definitely be achieved within a few months. She made me feel understood, cared for and at ease. After meeting Tammy a few more times to discuss potential cost of treatment and to allow me to ask any questions I had on my mind, she recommended Chris McCrudden to me. She stated that he is a true perfectionist and very good with nervous patients.On my first visit with dentist Chris and dental nurse Marta, both made me feel very comfortable. Together we crafted a perfect plan for the next months to come and discussed the final price. They recommended visiting their lovely dental hygiene team first, who gave me a professional clean and provided me with valuable information, tips and tricks on how to keep my new smile clean and healthy.On my next appointments, Chris and Marta continued with the previously crafted treatment plan. Both were very well prepared at all times and made me feel at ease. I didn't feel nervous. Their attention to detail, calming way and caring abilities were exceptional. The provided cosy blanket and stress balls were amazing and helped me during each appointment. I was also able to use my own headphones listening to music, which made the time fly by so much quicker. At no time did I experience any pain or discomfort during treatment. I also loved that Tammy checked in with me every now and then to see how I was doing. Now, 7 months after contacting Cherrybank for the first time, I can say that this has been the best dental experience I've ever had. It was worth every penny!I highly recommend everyone mentioned in this review. Thank you for your excellent service, kindness and professionalism throughout my journey.read more

I came to Cherrybank Dental Spa Edinburgh for some treatment,and I have to say it was an amazing experience from start to finish. I am quite anxious at the dentist but the team were so welcoming and friendly. Erin,who was my nurse, put me at ease immediately and really made me feel relaxed. Dr Katy the dentist explained everything to me in language I could understand. I would highly recommend anyone who is anxious to visit as it really was a great experience, didn't even feel like I was at the dentist!read more

Had a dental emergency last week and own dentist were unable to help with pain relief. Carried out a google search and CHERRYBANK came up. Called them and explained circumstances. Emergency appointment arranged for following day, attended and was treated with courtesy, respect and empathy. Saw Dr Vera who carried out necessary emergency treatment to alleviate the pain, which turned out to be pulpitis. Highly recommended for anyone suffering severe dental pain. Will be going back for normal dental care from now. Thanks again Dr Vera and CHERRYBANK. 🙏read more

I cannot stress how good my experience has been here. The staff are lovely and they're great professionals. I was not at my best (I had health anxiety) and they did everything they could to help me.

I was impressed by the very thorough examination on my first visit. But what I found exceptional was the detailed explanation from the dentist about treatment options. Her focus was on all possible solutions and not on the most expensive treatments. I like the open honest approach.

Your colleagues Nikolaos Vourakis and Tammy Cardwell gave me a no nonsense assessment of my dental problems. It’s allowed me to make an informed decision going forward - or not as the case may be.There was absolutely no pressure in making a decision.They are a credit to your company.

You have no idea what a difference Chris and the team have made to my life. I wouldn't step out the house before I had my new smile. I was petrified from the dentist because of a bad experience when I was younger and refused to go. When I walked in and explained how anxious I am the team done nothing but reassure me and put me at ease. I got to the point I actually enjoyed going and couldn't wait to have my work done. I certainly won't be going anywhere else from now on. It's also very true it is pain free. There is no amount of words that i can say to show how greatful I am to you all so this will just have to do, thank you from the bottom of my heart for saving my life and giving me it back ♥️read more

I’m almost at the end of my new smile makeover! Everything from the initial consultation to where I’m currently at has been flawless. The whole team at Cherrybank are outstanding, my dentist; Chris Mccrudden and his two dental nurses, I really can’t thank them enough for all their help and support over the last six months. All of them are marvellous, making the experience so much more pleasant with their considerate attention / approach. I've a few more appointments to go, whoever said going to the dentist isn’t fun, needs a trip to Cherrybank!!read more

I came to Tammy firstly to get a consultation, I had been to a couple other places too, but this was the only meeting I had where I didn’t feel pressured into other treatments. I had expressed that I wanted to keep costs down & wasn’t prepared to commit to Invisalign and Tammy straight away took this on board. She was open about all treatment routes I could go down but the main thing is I wasn’t pushed into anything or felt I was being sold something!Again this was the same when I met Dr Umair, I knew my teeth could benefit from straightening but he heard what I wanted and focused my treatment plan on that. I ended up with whitening, a small bit of gum contouring and composite bonding. Dr Umair comes across really professional and knows exactly what he’s doing so you know your teeth are in good hands. During all my appointments his calm nature kept me calm, I’m not a nervous patient but it had been a while so I was apprehensive! Grainne is also so friendly and super calming, she’d have a nice wee chat with me before & after which calmed my nerves. What a team! I also had the fear to get my impressions for my guard/whitening tray which I told Dr Umair about, somehow he made this feel like nothing and kept me relaxed.My results speak for themselves too, compared to what you can get done to your teeth I didn’t get too much done but it’s an unreal transformation. I wanted my teeth to look more uniform and get rid of the gaps I had, whilst still looking natural and got exactly that. I absolutely love the work that’s been done to my teeth - my confidence in my smile is so much better now!read more

1,205 days ago I walked into Cherrybank Dental Spa, nervous and anxious. I couldn’t bare anyone seeing my teeth, I mumbled and covered my mouth when speaking to people up close. The team at Cherrybank have transformed my life. After a process of getting my mouth healthy, I started my Invisalign journey. Today I walked out feeling emotional - I’m going to miss these ladies. The service you receive is impeccable, the team are always smiling and encourage you every step of the way - no matter what your journey. I want to take this opportunity to thank Kirsty! You have been amazing, you’ve pushed me further than I ever thought I could go - I will forever be grateful!! I would recommend Cherrybank Dental Spa 💯Me and my smile will be back 😁read more

Cherry Bank dental is next level cosmetic dentistry. All members of staff are all excellent at their jobs. The results are simply stunning.I felt so listened to.I felt cared for.The work was 100% pain freeI was blown away by the whole process. From my initial meeting - where my concerns were patiently talked through, and my expectations were exceeded - to the final results.Chris is an absolute perfectionist. He isn’t happy until you are happy.You get the “Trial Smile”. Which I loved. This is an acrylic version of your final veneers. You live with the temporaries for 2 weeks, which is excellent as you have time to really understand and decide if you want to make any changes to these. Don’t worry though, the temporaries are gorgeous too, and very secure.Chris will add and take away from these temporaries until you are happy. Then the final veneers are ordered. These are EXACTLY what you ask for.The final veneers are beautiful. They sparkle like real teeth. They are colour variated like real teeth, and they have ridges like real teeth. You will be so happy with the results. Chris is so talented.I hardly smiled st sll before. Now, I am smiling all the time.Marta is wonderful too. So kind, gentle, and caring. Chris and Marta are the dream team of dentistry. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️read more
