General Dentistry

General Dentistry

General dentistry encompasses a comprehensive approach to oral health, addressing common issues such as cavities, gum problems, and bite irregularities.

Understanding the importance of a healthy, confident smile, we provide top-quality general dentistry services customized to meet your specific needs.

Our treatments are tailored to precisely match your oral health requirements, enhancing your overall well-being while considering your aesthetic preferences.

Opt for general dentistry to achieve subtle but significant improvements in your dental health and an overall boost to your well-being.

Root canal treatment is a careful process where we gently clean the inside of the tooth, removing any damaged or infected areas. We use special tools to make sure everything is thoroughly cleansed. After cleaning, we fill the space with a special material that keeps bacteria out and allows your tooth to function normally again.

This treatment is very successful and a great way to keep your natural tooth.If a root canal isn’t done, the only other option is to take out the tooth. You can leave the gap, or get an implant, bridge, or denture. But remember, these options, while effective, don’t quite match up to your own tooth.We understand that dental treatments can be worrying or even scary for some.

If you feel anxious or nervous, please tell us. We’re experienced in helping patients with dental anxiety or phobias. We can offer sedation to help you feel more relaxed and comfortable during the procedure.



White fillings are a modern solution for restoring teeth affected by decay or minor fractures. The process begins with a careful removal of the decayed or damaged portion of your tooth, ensuring that only the unhealthy part is extracted. Precision is key here, and we employ advanced techniques to preserve as much of your natural tooth as possible.Once the decay is removed, we clean the area thoroughly to prepare it for the filling.

The white filling material, which is a composite resin, is then meticulously applied in layers. Each layer is hardened using a special light that bonds the material firmly to your tooth. This process not only restores the integrity of your tooth but also enhances its appearance, as the composite resin is matched to the natural colour of your teeth.

The final step involves shaping and polishing the filling to ensure a smooth, comfortable bite and a seamless blend with your natural teeth. White fillings not only restore the function of your teeth but also offer an aesthetically pleasing result.This treatment is an excellent alternative to traditional silver amalgam fillings, offering a more natural appearance.

Dental crowns are tailor-made covers that fit over a tooth that’s been damaged or weakened, helping to restore its shape, size, strength, and look. They’re often the go-to solution for teeth that are significantly decayed, cracked, or broken, or for teeth that have had a root canal.

Crowns can be crafted from a variety of materials like porcelain, ceramic, metal, or a mix of these, depending on where the tooth is in your mouth and what looks best. Getting a crown involves preparing the tooth, making a precise model for the crown, and then carefully placing and securing the crown on your tooth.

They work great to protect and strengthen your tooth, while keeping it looking natural and functioning well, boosting both the health and appearance of your smile.

Extractions are when we need to take out a tooth from its spot in the jawbone. We usually do this when a tooth is too damaged or decayed to fix, stuck in the gums (like with wisdom teeth), or if there’s not enough room in your mouth for all your teeth.

Depending on the tooth’s condition and where it’s located, the extraction might be straightforward or a bit more involved. In a simple extraction, the dentist will gently loosen the tooth and then use special tools to remove it.

If the tooth is under the gum or hasn’t come in all the way, we might need to do a surgical extraction, which involves a small cut in the gum. We always use local anaesthesia to make sure you’re comfortable and don’t feel pain during the procedure. 

Dental hygiene appointments at our clinic are a key part of maintaining your oral health. During these visits, our experienced dental hygienists provide a thorough cleaning of your teeth, removing plaque and tartar buildup that regular brushing can’t reach. This deep cleaning helps prevent gum disease and tooth decay, ensuring your gums and teeth stay healthy.In addition to cleaning, our hygiene appointments include a comprehensive examination of your oral health.

We check for any signs of trouble, like cavities or early signs of gum disease, and offer personalised advice on how to improve your daily oral care routine. We also provide expert guidance on proper brushing and flossing techniques, ensuring you get the most out of your home care.

At our clinic, we offer dental bridges as a solution for replacing one or more missing teeth. A dental bridge is a custom-made prosthetic that fills the gap left by missing teeth. It consists of artificial teeth, or pontics, which are held in place by crowns fitted onto the adjacent natural teeth or dental implants.

These supporting teeth, known as abutments, provide the necessary stability and strength for the bridge.The process of getting a dental bridge usually requires a few visits. Initially, we prepare the abutment teeth and take precise impressions to create your personalised bridge. In the interim, a temporary bridge is fitted. Once your permanent bridge is ready, we’ll adjust it to ensure a perfect fit and then cement it securely in place. Dental bridges not only improve the appearance of your smile but also restore the functionality of your teeth.

They enable you to chew and speak properly, maintain the natural shape of your face, and prevent the remaining teeth from shifting. To ensure your bridge lasts as long as possible, regular oral hygiene and dental check-ups are essential. Our team is committed to providing you with the best care and guidance to keep your bridge in excellent condition.
