Comprehensive General Dental Care Services

At Dental and Facial Clinic, we understand that dental health is integral to overall well-being. Our practice offers a wide range of services to meet the diverse needs of our Putney patients, ensuring everyone receives the highest standard of care.

Routine Examinations and Cleanings

Regular dental check-ups and professional cleanings are the foundation of good oral health. During your routine examination, our dentists will thoroughly assess your teeth, gums, and mouth to identify any potential issues early on. Professional cleanings help to remove plaque and tartar build-up that regular brushing and flossing can’t eliminate.

• Thorough Examinations: We conduct comprehensive examinations to monitor your oral health and detect any signs of decay, gum disease, or other dental problems.
• Professional Cleanings: Our dental hygienists use advanced tools to clean your teeth, removing plaque and tartar to prevent cavities and gum disease.

Preventive Care

Preventive dental care is crucial for maintaining a healthy smile. At Dental and Facial Clinic, we focus on educating our patients about good oral hygiene practices and providing preventive treatments to protect against dental issues.

• Fluoride Treatments: Fluoride is a mineral that strengthens tooth enamel and helps prevent decay. We offer professional fluoride treatments to enhance your teeth’s resistance to cavities.
• Dental Sealants: Sealants are a protective coating applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth. They help prevent cavities by sealing out food and bacteria.

Fillings and Restorations

When a tooth is damaged by decay or trauma, it’s essential to restore its function and appearance. Our fillings and restorations are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, ensuring a durable and aesthetically pleasing result.

• Tooth-Coloured Fillings: We use composite resin fillings that match the colour of your natural teeth, providing a discreet and effective solution for cavities.
• Inlays and Onlays: For larger areas of decay or damage, inlays and onlays offer a more substantial restoration than fillings. These are custom-made to fit your tooth and restore its structure.

Root Canal Therapy

If the pulp of a tooth becomes infected or inflamed, root canal therapy is often necessary to save the tooth. This procedure involves removing the infected pulp, cleaning the root canals, and sealing them to prevent further infection.

• Pain Relief and Preservation: Root canal therapy alleviates pain and saves the natural tooth, preventing the need for extraction.
• Advanced Techniques: Our dentists use the latest techniques and materials to ensure the procedure is as comfortable and effective as possible.

Extractions

While we strive to preserve natural teeth, extractions are sometimes necessary due to severe decay, infection, or trauma. Our team ensures that this procedure is as comfortable and painless as possible.

• Simple Extractions: For teeth that are visible and easily accessible, simple extractions are performed with minimal discomfort.
• Surgical Extractions: For more complex cases, such as impacted wisdom teeth, surgical extractions are performed to remove the tooth safely and effectively.

Crowns and Bridges

Crowns and bridges are essential for restoring damaged or missing teeth. They not only enhance the appearance of your smile but also restore functionality, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.

• Dental Crowns: A crown is a cap placed over a damaged, decayed, or weakened tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance.
• Dental Bridges: A bridge is used to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring false teeth to adjacent natural teeth or dental implants.

Dentures

Dentures are removable prosthetic devices used to replace missing teeth. They are custom-made to fit comfortably and look natural, providing an effective solution for tooth loss.

• Full Dentures: Used when all teeth in an arch are missing, full dentures restore your ability to eat and speak properly.
• Partial Dentures: Partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain. They fill in the gaps and prevent the remaining teeth from shifting.

Periodontal Treatment

Gum disease is a common but serious condition that can lead to tooth loss if left untreated. Our periodontal treatments are designed to prevent, diagnose, and treat gum disease, ensuring your gums remain healthy.

• Scaling and Root Planing: A deep cleaning procedure that removes plaque and tartar from below the gum line and smooths the root surfaces to promote healing.
• Periodontal Maintenance: Regular cleanings and check-ups to monitor gum health and prevent the recurrence of gum disease.

Emergency Dentistry

Dental emergencies can happen at any time and often require immediate attention. Our emergency dental services are designed to provide prompt and effective care for urgent dental issues, including:

• Toothaches: Severe tooth pain can indicate an underlying issue such as an infection or decay. Immediate treatment is crucial to prevent further complications.
• Broken or Chipped Teeth: Accidents can result in broken or chipped teeth, which need prompt repair to restore function and appearance.
• Knocked-Out Teeth: Quick action can sometimes save a knocked-out tooth. Our team is equipped to handle these emergencies and provide the best possible outcome.
