Dental care encompasses a variety of practices to maintain healthy teeth, gums, and mouth. It includes routine check-ups, cleanings, and preventive measures to avoid common issues such as tooth decay, gum disease, and other oral health problems.

What are some common dental treatments?

Common dental treatments include fillings for cavities, root canals for infected tooth pulp, crowns to restore damaged teeth, bridges and implants to replace missing teeth, and treatments for gum disease. The specific treatment needed depends on the individual's oral health condition.

What should I expect when visiting a dental practice?

When visiting a dental practice, you can expect a thorough examination of your teeth, gums, and mouth, followed by a discussion of any dental issues and proposed treatments. Dentists use a range of treatments to address various conditions, ensuring personalized care for each patient.

What are cosmetic treatments in dentistry?

Cosmetic treatments in dentistry focus on improving the appearance of teeth and smiles. These treatments include teeth whitening, veneers, bonding, and orthodontic adjustments for misaligned teeth. These procedures can enhance both the aesthetic appeal and functionality of your teeth.

Can you explain advanced treatments in dentistry?

Advanced treatments in dentistry involve more complex procedures aimed at solving severe or specialized dental issues. These include dental implants, laser treatments for gum disease, and orthodontic surgeries for severe misalignment of teeth. Such treatments often utilize cutting-edge technology and techniques to ensure effective results.

What causes tooth decay and how can it be prevented?

Tooth decay is caused by the buildup of plaque on teeth, which can lead to cavities. Prevention includes maintaining good oral hygiene by brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and regular dental check-ups. Eating a balanced diet and avoiding sugary snacks can also help prevent decay.

How are misaligned teeth treated?

Misaligned teeth can be treated with orthodontic options like braces or clear aligners. These treatments gradually realign the teeth into the proper position, improving both oral function and aesthetics. The choice of treatment depends on the severity of the misalignment and the patient’s preferences.

What is gum disease and how is it treated?

Gum disease, or periodontal disease, is an infection of the gums that can progress to affect the bone that surrounds and supports your teeth. Treatment options range from deep cleaning to surgical interventions, depending on the severity of the disease. Regular dental visits and proper oral hygiene are critical to preventing and managing gum disease.

I had a crown fitted and a couple of fillings completed over a month ago now by Dr Lucy Whitworth. Her, her dental nurse (apologies i will remember your name after the next checkup (memory like a gold fish when it comes to names)) and the whole team were always professional, friendly and helpful, putting me at ease from start to finish, and provided me with great pain free dental care.

I had a molar filling with Dr Brandon Tiller. His attention to detail was fantastic. There was no pain following the procedure and the filling itself is completely unnoticeable! He took the time to do several x-rays to ensure everything was perfect. He is caring and compassionate and I would recommend highly him to anyone who needs dental work!!

Rouba has been looking after my teeth for many, many years. She always makes you feel very comfortable and at ease during treatment. I could almost call it a pleasurable experience 🙂

I’m usually not an easy dentist patient as I have a strong gagging reflex but Dr Louisa Jarvie was able to accommodate all my requests, while still performing an excellent and professional work. The studio was also able to book my initial checkup the same day I contacted them (and not for any urgency!) and in a couple of days I had my most critical tooth decay fixed. Price was fair.I’m definitely pleased with my experience here and I would definitely recommend it.

Dental Bonding, also known as composite resin bonding, is a technique that adds resin material to your teeth to alter or supplement their shape.

Composite bonding is a very good option for closing small gaps between teeth. Either for a single gap or multiple small gaps between all the teeth, you can achieve amazing results with bonding. However, if the gap is too big, the dentist might consider a quick orthodontic treatment before going with the bonding, to avoid extremely big or disproportional teeth.

Composite bonding can help to improve the appearance of slightly crooked teeth. By adding some resin in strategic places, your dentist can hide or mask misaligned teeth, improving the appearance of your smile. However, please do keep in mind that it is only possible to correct minor position problems with composite bonding. When teeth are more severely misaligned, we would recommend an orthodontic treatment prior to bonding.

When it comes to caring for your bonded teeth, you should continue your regular oral routine and regular check-ups and cleans. In its nature your bonding is minimally invasive and inherently the material may be more prone to chipping or discolouration. You can extend its lifespan with a healthy lifestyle and proper oral care habits: grinding, nail biting, acids, sugar, lack of oral hygiene, will effect the longevity of bonded composites.

Potential downsides of bonding may include: • Material less stain-resistant than other solutions • Lifespan is often shorter than the alternatives
