Dental Hygiene
Dental cleaning can take the
form of a “scale and polish”
and/or advice on brushing
and flossing.
Patient Services
General Dentistry
Fillings: teeth can be filled
with a variety of materials
which include gold, amalgam,
porcelain and composite resin.
Root canal treatment:
(Endodontics): this procedure
is carried out when the tissue
or ‘pulp’ within a tooth
becomes infected.
Crowns & Bridges
Crowns: these are artificial
teeth or ‘caps’ which can be
fitted over broken, damaged
teeth. These will maintain
their structure and protect
teeth from further damage.
Bridge: this is a structure
which contains an artificial
tooth or ‘pontic’ which is
anchored to a couple of
crowns. These crowns fit over
the natural teeth on either
side of a gap which help to
secure the false tooth in place
and so ensure a natural
looking appearance.
Dentures
Bonding
The name given to repair a
tooth with a tooth colored
filling called a composite.
This filling chemically adheres
to the tooth and is hardened
by activating the catalyst with
a “blue light”. It is then
polished and blends in as a
virtually undetectable part of
the tooth.This is the name given to
the procedure in which a type of resin is
used as a ‘glue’ to stick a material, such
as a veneer to a tooth.
