General Dentistry

Whether you are seeing us for cosmetic dental treatment or routine dental care, we believe that you deserve focussed attention. We make every effort to make your dental experience, one that exceeds your expectations.

Our general dental services include:

Dental Examination

Our aim is to help you maintain a healthy mouth and therefore during your routine dental examination, we check your teeth, gums and soft tissue for early signs of any dental problems, such as decay or gum disease. Our soft tissue screening includes a visual check of your gums, inner cheeks and tongue which allows us to spot any infections, mouth conditions or even mouth cancer at the earliest stages.

At this appointment we may take photographs of your teeth to understand your dental concerns. In addition, we may take x-rays which help with diagnosis and treatment planning or we may take impressions of your teeth (study model) so that we can see how your teeth bite together.

White fillings

New technological advancements in dentistry enable white (composite or resin) or natural tooth coloured fillings to be used in restoring decayed and broken teeth. White fillings are very strong and long lasting. We also use white fillings to replace mercury (silver) fillings.

Inlays/Onlays

Inlays and onlays are an alternative treatment option to fillings and are used to repair a damaged tooth. An inlay is small and within the biting surface of the tooth whereas an onlay will cover a larger area of the tooth.

These restorations can be made from porcelain, gold or composite resin and are bonded to the damaged area of a tooth. Inlays and onlays are made in a laboratory and will require two visits to the practice.

Many patients have a porcelain inlay or onlay as it hard wearing, long lasting and can also be matched to the colour of your natural teeth, to give you a perfectly beautiful smile with great dental health and function.

We offer a wide range of dental care, including:

Dental implants...
