Modern Dentistry with a Personal Touch

When you’re considering dental treatment, you want to know the recommendation is based on a thorough assessment.

Our Sherwood practice has an on-site digital OPG machine for full-jaw X-rays when clinically needed. For crown and bridge treatment, we use 3D digital scans to record your teeth and support the preparation of your restoration.

These tools support your dentist’s assessment and planning. The conversation still starts with you: what’s bothering you, what you want to change and what matters when choosing your care.

A Gentle Experience for Every Patient

You don’t need to put off booking until you feel less anxious. Tell us what worries you when you call.

Dr Ricky Shao and Dr Vi Nguyen both have a particular interest in helping nervous patients. Knowing about a past experience, sensitivity or concern gives us a starting point for discussing support during your visit.

There are small comforts here, too. Watch Netflix or listen to music during your appointment, or take our online virtual tour beforehand to see where you’ll be coming.

Dr Ricky Shao heads up the team at Sherwood Dental. His manner is steady and unrushed, with a particular interest in helping people who find dental visits difficult.

His clinical interests sit in restorative and cosmetic work, including crowns, bridges, veneers and dental implants. Dr Ricky is passionate about crafting beautiful smiles and improving one’s oral health.

Dr Vi Nguyen

General Dentist
