Mike Allen – Thirty Years Plus Of Dental Care!

A quick history of our long standing Burton dental practice.

It was over thirty years ago when Mike Allen decided to set up a dental practice in Burton Upon Trent. Things were very different then of course, and cosmetic dentistry was virtually non existent. We started off as a friendly family dental practice, offering the best available care to our patients, something that we have maintained ever since.

It is always important to move with the times though, and as well as providing general dental care for the whole family, we are also now able to help those who are unhappy with the appearance of their teeth, whether they are crooked, discoloured or where there are gaps in the teeth.

A thank you

We would briefly like to thank all of our patients, and especially those who have been patients of our practice for most of this time. Some of you may even have come to us initially, as infants, and remained here ever since. We hope that you are happy with the practice, but we are also happy to hear any concerns or suggestions that you may have.

The times, they are a changing….

As we mentioned earlier, cosmetic dentistry and some other more advanced treatments were not available when we first set up our practice. Nothing stands still though, and we are now able to offer a wide range of procedures that simply weren’t available thirty years ago.

We thought it would be interesting to take a look at just a few of these treatments that our Burton patients are now able to take advantage of.

Dental implants

These were in existence thirty years ago but were certainly not very widely available, and probably mainly so in the US. This is a complex procedure that has been made possible by the use of modern technology such as 3D scanning systems, as well as extensive training by staff members of Mike Allen’s Dental Practice.

Teeth whitening

Aside from being told to brush your teeth well, there was little that patients could do to keep their teeth white in the past. Nowadays, we are able to offer our Burton patients a safe and straightforward way to have whiter teeth, using our home teeth whitening system.

Dental veneers

These have been around for some time, but only more recently for the general public. They were introduced in the heyday of Holywood, to mask the effects of smoking on the actor’s teeth. A Hollywood kiss would not have been the same if nicotine stained teeth had been on display! Today, this great way of restoring heavily stained teeth is now available to any patient that needs them.

Even though our practice has been in existence for over thirty years, we hope that it will continue to serve our Burton patients well, for many more years to come. If you would like to register at our practice you can do so by calling Mike Allen’s Dental Practice on 01283 845345. We look forward to meeting you and your family!
