What is General Dentistry
General dental treatments are in place to keep your mouth, gums, and teeth healthy and free of pain. General dentists are often considered in a similar way to a medical GP, their ultimate goal is to prevent and diagnose disease.
Tooth extractions
When a tooth needs to be removed fully from the mouth, our dentists can carry this out quickly in a painless session. Although an extremely common procedure, your dentists will only remove a tooth when absolutely necessary. This is because a missing tooth can lead to further problems with the appearance of your teeth, the ability to eat and specific issues such as surrounding or opposing teeth shifting out of place.
Crowns & Bridges
If you have a tooth which is extensively damaged or at high risk of fracture, a dental crown restores the affected tooth and is designed to cover the damaged tooth, protecting it and improving its appearance.
​
A dental bridge is a fixed solution, which attaches to one or more adjacent teeth via crowns or metal wings to restore a gap in your smile.
​
Dentures
Dentures are removable prosthetic devices made of metal & plastic or completely plastic materials and are carefully crafted to fit your mouth, as a cost effective option to restore gaps in your smile, whether that be to replace one or a few missing teeth or all of your teeth in one or both jaws.
Our hygienists and hygiene therapists offer a professional teeth cleaning service, a process called scaling and polishing, which helps to keep your gums healthy or treat gum disease.
We also offer AIRFLOW to deep clean and polish your teeth with a combination of water, compressed air and fine powder particles.
