Our well-trained front of the house team will make every effort to put you at ease and respond to your needs fully.
FILLINGS
We offer Composite Fillings here at Bridge Dental Practice. These are a tooth-coloured, plastic and glass mixture used to restore decayed teeth. These fillings are also used cosmetically to improve your smile by changing the colour of your teeth or reshaping misshapen teeth. They stick to the enamel of your teeth. After the tooth is prepared, we will first etch your tooth with a weak acid gel and then after applying special glues, will place the composite in layers, using a visible blue light to harden each layer. The composite is then shaped to fit the tooth and polished to prevent staining. New materials are becoming available and are proving very successful. Your dentist will talk you through the various options suitable for your teeth.
ROOT CANAL TREATMENT
This treatment becomes necessary when the nerve (otherwise known as the pulp) of a tooth becomes damaged and/or dies. If left untreated, the tooth may need to be removed. There are various causes of nerve damage and symptoms include sensitivity to heat or cold, and/or throbbing pain; an abscess could develop and the tooth may also become discoloured and tender. An appointment with your dentist, sooner rather than later, will reassure you as to what exactly is happening to your tooth and the treatment options will be explained to you. Your dentist will endeavour to make the recommended treatment as painless and comfortable as possible.
TOOTH EXTRACTIONS
It is sometimes necessary to have an untreatable tooth removed, but with modern dental techniques and effective numbing of the area involved, having a tooth removed is no longer to be feared! Most extractions can be done very easily at our surgery, but on the increasingly rare occasions when this is not possible, your dentist will refer you to hospital. You may rest assured that every care will be taken to ensure the procedure is as pain-free as possible.
