Treatments

Every treatment, explained in plain language.

Start with your problem: a tooth that hurts, a missing tooth, bleeding gums, a broken tooth, or a smile you would like to change. Each section explains who it may help, what happens, and the next step.

Understand your tooth

Decisions are easier when you can see what is being treated.

Enamel

The hard outer shell.

This diagram is for explanation only. Your own situation is described by the dentist after an examination.

Everyday care

General Dentistry

Routine examinations, fillings, extractions where needed, and preventive care for adults and children. This is the greater part of the clinic’s everyday work.

Who it may help

Anyone due for a check-up, anyone who has noticed a cavity, or anyone who has not seen a dentist for some time.

What happens

An examination of teeth and gums, imaging if needed, then a treatment plan with an expected cost.

Scaling & Polishing

Removing plaque and hardened tartar from the teeth and below the gum line, so gum problems stop progressing. Bleeding when you brush is the sign to start.

Root Canal Treatment

When infection reaches the centre of a tooth, this cleans and seals the root to relieve pain and keep the tooth rather than remove it. Usually completed in one or two appointments.

Dental Imaging

Panoramic (OPG) and periapical digital X-rays show what is happening below the surface, so a plan is based on evidence rather than guesswork.

Prosthetics

Dentures and dental laboratory work for patients missing several teeth, for both chewing and appearance.

Dental Implants

A missing tooth, replaced one stage at a time.

An implant is not a single-day procedure. Scroll to see the four stages — and why each one needs its own time.

01

Assessment and plan

Examination and digital imaging show whether there is enough bone, and where an implant could sit safely.

02

Placing the implant

The implant is placed into the bone in a minor surgical procedure, usually under local anaesthetic.

03

Healing time

Bone needs several weeks to bond with the implant. The connecting abutment is fitted once it has healed.

04

The crown

A crown is made to match your other teeth and fitted. After that you care for it much like a natural tooth.

Implants are not suitable for everyone. Suitability, timeframe and risks are explained after a clinical assessment.
