Patient Resources

Practical, plain-English guides to looking after your teeth at home, and to understanding the dental health concepts that affect long-term outcomes. The kind of detail we wish more patients knew before they sat in the chair.

Why These Resources

Most dentistry happens at home, not in the chair. The two minutes you spend brushing twice a day, plus the time you spend cleaning between teeth, has more effect on your long-term dental health than the hour or so per year you spend with us. We can do the technical work, but we can't replace what you do day to day.
These pages are here to help with that. They cover the practical techniques that make a real difference - what to do, why it matters, and what most people get wrong. We've kept them in plain English. No jargon, no AI-sounding waffle, just useful information.

Resources

Oral Care at Home

Background on the bigger dental health concepts that affect long-term outcomes - tooth structures, durable repairs, what happens when teeth are lost. Useful context.

What Makes Tangmere Dental Care Different

Advanced Technology, Natural Approach

We invest in the most modern dental systems — Cerec, magnification, digital imaging — while keeping our care grounded in prevention and the maintenance of health.

Same-Day Crowns & Restorations

Our Cerec system creates solid porcelain crowns, inlays and veneers in a single visit — no impressions, no temporaries, no return appointment needed.

Accessible, Purpose-Built Facility

Ground-floor practice with disabled access, free parking, disabled spaces, and high-capacity dental chairs (up to 29 stone). Easy access from Chichester, Arundel, Bognor Regis and Portsmouth.

Prevention-Led, Long-Term Care

Our focus is on stopping problems before they start. From advanced diagnostics to drill-free options where suitable, we plan care around protecting your health for decades.

A Family-Run Practice You Can Trust

Tangmere Dental Care has been caring for patients in Tangmere, near Chichester, since 1988. We're a family-run independent practice just off the A27, with easy access from Arundel, Bognor Regis, Emsworth and Portsmouth, set in a quiet rural location with a large free car park.
Because we have a low turnover of staff, you see the same clinician year after year, which means real continuity of care. Our treatment rooms are modern and fully equipped, so most advanced treatments can be completed on site in one place.
We welcome patients from Chichester, Arundel, Bognor Regis, Portsmouth, Selsey, Emsworth, Westhampnett and surrounding PO20 areas.
Tangmere Dental Care is a private dental practice combining advanced technology with prevention-led, holistic care. Our mission is to help patients across West Sussex maintain healthy, durable smiles for life.
