General Dentistry

General dentistry focuses on looking after the overall oral health and wellbeing of patients. It can include preventive dental hygiene care and regular check-ups, white fillings, and sedation treatment for nervous patients. Your general dentist works with you to keep your teeth and gums healthy, strong, and bright.

We encourage all our patients to have a dental check-up at least twice a year. It can be tempting to skip a few dental appointments, especially if you are not in pain and you’re happy with the way your smile looks, but regular check-ups are very important. They allow your dentist to spot any underlying issues and provide prompt treatment to avoid more in-depth problems. We can also provide personalised advice.

No. Fillings are carried out under a local anaesthetic, so you won’t feel a thing during treatment. If you are at all nervous about having an injection, do let us know so that we can gently help you through the procedure. We have a number of tried and tested techniques at our disposal and lots of experience helping nervous patients.

Teeth grinding causes painful symptoms, which a night guard can alleviate. These include:

• Facial pain
• Headaches
• Earache
• Jaw pain and stiffness
• Sleep problems
• Worn-down, and therefore sensitive, teeth
• Broken teeth or fillings
