General Dentistry Treatments
At our practice, we are proud to offer comprehensive general dentistry under the NHS, ensuring access to essential dental care for all patients. Our services cover everything from routine check-ups and oral health assessments to fillings, extractions, root canal treatment, and preventive care. We focus on maintaining healthy teeth and gums, identifying problems early, and providing clear, honest advice. With a friendly and professional approach, our team is committed to making every visit as comfortable as possible while helping you maintain long-term oral health.
Routine Check-ups
We carry out thorough dental examinations to assess your overall oral health. This includes routine X-rays where clinically required (typically every 2 years), BPE (Basic Periodontal Examination) screening to assess gum health, and detailed soft tissue checks to screen for any abnormalities. These regular assessments help us detect issues early and keep your mouth healthy.
Root Canal Treatment
What is a root canal?
A root canal is an attempt to save a dead or dying tooth, when a tooth dies it becomes necrotic and this leads to infection. Purpose of root canal is to remove the infection and necrotic tissue from inside the mouth and then to seal the tooth.
Does it work?
Usually the success is relatively good, this increase and decreases depending where it is in the mouth, usually the further back in the mouth the harder, it also depends on the complexity of the canals and access.
Why should I have a crown after a root canal?
When a tooth is root filled, it becomes brittle, to try and increase the success of longevity we put a crown over the tooth to give the tooth more protection.
Fillings & Restorations
We restore damaged or decayed teeth to maintain both function and appearance. Under NHS treatment, fillings are typically completed using durable amalgam materials. In some cases, depending on the tooth, its position, and the remaining tooth structure, we may also use alternative materials such as composite (tooth-coloured) or glass ionomer cement (GIC). Our dentists will always choose the most appropriate option to ensure a strong, long-lasting result tailored to your clinical needs.
Oral Health Assessments
We provide comprehensive assessments, including gum health evaluations and oral cancer screenings, to ensure your overall dental wellbeing.
Extractions
Where a tooth cannot be restored or is causing ongoing problems, we provide extractions under local anaesthetic (XLA). We aim to make the procedure as gentle and comfortable as possible, ensuring you are fully numb before treatment begins. Before carrying out an extraction, we assess the tooth carefully and may take an X-ray where needed to plan the safest and most appropriate treatment. Clear aftercare advice is always provided to support healing and reduce the risk of complications.
