General Dentistry and Dental Care

White fillings

White fillings are used to restore broken or decayed teeth and can be matched to your own tooth colour to make them almost invisible.

On lays / Inlays

An inlay is similar to a filling and lies inside the cusp tips of the tooth, being custom-made to fit and then cemented into place. An onlay is more extensive and covers one or more cusps of a tooth.

Root Canal Treatment

A root canal treatment involves removing damaged or dead pulp and filling the space left. The remaining tooth can then be repaired. This allows you to keep a tooth that would otherwise have needed to be removed, leaving you with a space.

Wisdom Teeth

Sometimes there may not be room in your mouth for your wisdom teeth and, as they start to come through, they push against the teeth already there or may start to come through at an angle. When this happens, you might feel some pain or discomfort, so the best thing to do is to visit your dentist.

The dentist will probably take an x-ray of your mouth to see how - or if - your wisdom teeth are coming through. From this, they will be able to make a judgement on whether or not to take them out, and how easy or difficult it might be.
