What are the general dentistry treatments offered at Harley Street?
General dentistry treatments are in place to keep your teeth, gums and mouth healthy for life and to ensure that they function as they should. Some of the more popular general dentistry treatments include:
Routine examinations
A routine examination or check-up is central to your treatment plan. It allows us to check on your general oral health and to identify any potential dental issues such as cavities, gum disease or oral cancer quickly.
All routine examinations will involve inspecting your mouth, teeth, gums and oral tissues. We may also take x-rays to give a more detailed picture of your bite, your jaw and any abnormalities.
Dental hygiene
The two biggest causes of tooth loss are due to gum disease and tooth decay. These can mostly be prevented by maintaining a good oral hygiene and having your mouth, teeth and gums, cleaned professionally by a skilled hygienist. By keeping teeth, gums and soft tissue healthy, it is possible to avoid painful and costly treatment in the future.
Restorative treatment
Restorative treatment includes minor repairs to teeth to restore them to a healthier and more functional state. If you experience severe damage or problems, you may be referred to a specialist for treatment within our practice in Harley Street. Common restorative treatments include:
- Fillings
Fillings are used to treat cavities in teeth. If left untreated, a tooth could develop an infection or severe decay which could lead to tooth loss. Our skilled team are experts in identifying and treating a cavity before it becomes serious. Most cavities can be treated on the same day that it is discovered, and it is a painless and quick procedure.
- Crowns
A crown is used to protect a weak or fractured tooth from further damage. Designed to sit over the top of the tooth, a crown is custom made to fit your tooth in our dental laboratory.
- Dental extraction
A tooth may need to be extracted because it is badly decayed, damaged, is painful or is causing a threat to the health of the rest of your teeth. A tooth may also need to be removed as part of planned treatment such as dental implants or for orthodontic treatment. A tooth is removed painlessly and swiftly after a local anaesthetic is administered to numb the area.
Dental emergency
If you suffer a dental emergency, we offer emergency dental appointments with our emergency dentist to relieve any pain or discomfort.
