FAQ image

What is a dental check up for?

During a dental check up, or dental examination, we carry out a full hard and soft tissue assessment, oral cancer screening, and if required, we may advise some radiographs to assess where the eyes cannot see. We record all of this information in your clinical notes to monitor any changes and improvements to your mouth, and then we will inform you of our findings, and provide you with a customised treatment plan. 

Why would I need x-rays? 

X-rays are essential for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning appropriately for tooth decay, and gum disease. Routine x-rays are generally taken every 24 months. Radiographs also show us what is lying under the gum, and in the bone, such as impacted teeth, abscesses, cysts, and many other abnormalities. Your dentist will let you know specifically in your case why an x-ray has been advised, and of any findings.

Are x-rays harmful?

Two ‘bitewing’ radiographs, which are taken at 24 month intervals, contain the same radiation as four bananas. 

Do you offer a payment plan?

We offer a 0% finance option for our patients to spread the cost monthly on treatment plans over £1000.

How often should I attend the dentist?

Every 6 months is widely recommended by the General Dental Council, and the Care Quality Commission. This is to maintain optimum oral hygiene with regular visits to the Dental Therapist, and regularly assess the oral tissues to treat any problems before they become more serious. 

Why do I need a scale and polish?

Your Dentist will recommend a scale and polish, if there are plaque or calculus deposits, gingival inflammation, and/or gum disease. They will often refer you to the Practice’s Dental Hygiene Therapist. Calculus can only be removed by a dental professional and will not come away with toothbrushing or flossing. If it is left on the teeth for a long period of time, the gums become inflamed, leading to tissue and bone loss around the teeth, at this point, gum disease becomes irreversible, and if it continues untreated, extensive bone and tissue loss occurs, which can lead to mobile teeth, loss of teeth, infections and pain.

What is a dental Implant?

Dental Implants offer a welcome alternative to dentures or bridgework that doesn’t fit well, or if a lack of natural teeth disallow a bridge. They look and function like your natural teeth, and are put in place of a missing tooth or multiple missing teeth. Implants are a metal screwlike post that is placed into the jaw, and either a crown, a bridge, or a ‘snap-in’ denture can be placed over the top.

Why should I consider dental implants?

If you are missing a tooth, and nothing is placed in it’s gap – there is a risk of overeruption of the opposing tooth as there is nothing for it to bite on, which may result in mobile teeth or further tooth loss, as well as this, the surrounding teeth can migrate into it’s place over time, this can make cleaning the area difficult, and after some time, gap replacement may not be an option due to lack of space. Dentures overtime can become ill-fitting, or cause discomfort, or simply, you may not be able to get used to them – implants are the Gold Standard for tooth replacement as they are fixed, and the closest option to a natural tooth.

How painful is getting a dental implant?

Patient’s experience no pain during Implant placement, and our patient’s feedback tell us that it is similar, or less discomfort than having a tooth extraction. You can expect to feel some pressure when the implant is placed, and some post-operative aching, similar to a bruise.

How can I make my teeth whiter?

We offer an at home teeth whitening kit, it is a one time payment for your trays and kit, and when you would like a top up, the whitening gels are available to buy at the practice. Teeth whitening is a simple and effective treatment to lighten the teeth by up to eight shades lighter, and it is customisable to you – once you are happy with the shade, you can stop whitening them.

Is teeth straightening only suitable for children?

No, Invisalign is a treatment for any age, it is effective for adults who would like to improve the appearance of their smile, whether it is due to crowding, spacing, overbites, underbites, crossbites, or ‘heavy’ bites which are prone to cause the teeth to chip over time. As we age, the jaw naturally becomes more narrow which can cause the teeth to overlap and become crowded, Invisalign is also suitable for cases like this.

Why have I been advised to have a filling when I have no pain?

Tooth decay, in it’s early stages, will usually not cause any problems or pain - at this stage, it is possible to remove and place a filling as it is only affecting the enamel and/or dentine. If the decay or defect is left untreated, and begins causing pain or hypersensitivity, the treatment options become limited, the dentine is affected, and has reached the pulp (nerve) chamber; meaning a root canal treatment may be advised to save the tooth, though your only option at this stage may be to extract the tooth.

Why did pain come back after I had antibiotics?

Unlike other infections in the body, where antibiotics will usually resolve an infection permanently, teeth are quite different. As the cavity has affected the nerve, this causes an infection to build up at the root; antibiotics will temporarily reduce this infection, minimising pain, but after some time it will return as the nerve is still affected. Your dentist will have advised you on the treatment options to permanently resolve the infection.

Why can’t I have a filling instead of Root Canal Treatment?

A filling is to treat a cavity only in the enamel or the dentine. If you have been advised a root canal treatment, the nerve has been affected. If a filling is placed in this circumstance, it essentially ‘suffocates’ the nerve, causing infection to build at the root, usually very painful, and may cause facial swelling. The only way to treat a tooth infection, is with a root canal treatment, as the nerve is removed and the tooth is preserved in the mouth.
