The General Dentistry services we provide are:
General and Routine Check-ups
Dental check-ups are vital in keeping your mouth healthy. During your appointment your teeth, gums and mouth will be examined and a few questions about your general health will be asked, along with any problems you may be experiencing with your teeth. Dentists will also provide you with any teeth-cleaning information that may be useful for your oral health.
Radiography
This involves taking images of your teeth in order to evaluate your oral health. Radiography can be used to identify cavities, tooth decay, and impacted teeth.
Oral Health Assessments
These assessments help our dentists put in place a care plan specifically for you. Taking a preventative and long-term approach, your care plan will be used for every future check-up in order to keep your mouth as healthy as possible.
Mouth Cancer Screening
Root Canal Treatments
These treatments will be used to repair a tooth that is badly decayed or has become infected. Without this treatment, your overall mouth health will deteriorate, as tissue surrounding the tooth will become infected and abscesses may form. Read more about root canl treatments (Endodontics)
Extractions
Having a tooth removed is nothing to worry about with our team of highly trained dentists, you are sure to be in safe hands.
Implants
These are titanium screws fused to the jaw bone and are used to replace missing teeth.
Crowns and Bridges
These fixed prosthetic devices are put onto existing teeth or implants. Crowns cover or ‘cap’ damaged teeth, while bridges cover the empty space if you are missing a tooth.
Veneers: we can use veneers or porcelain 'facings' to to improve the shape, size and colour of your teeth
Composite Bonding: is a cosmetic procedure where we add tooth coloured filling material to alter the shape, size and shade of the teeth to improve their appearance
Invisalign: Is the most popular and successful clear aligner system. Straightening your teeth with Invisalign means treatment looks more discrete and generally less uncomfortable than conventional 'train-track' braces. Have a look at our Invisalign page for further information.
At Weston Cottage Dental, we offer dental check-ups and treatment for all children. Our highly trained team take care when dealing with young patients, focusing on making them feel comfortable and safe within our environment. We want visiting the dentist to be a positive experience for children and this is most easily achieved by bringing children in for regular visits from an early age. For our young patients we provide fissure sealants which are plastic coatings painted onto the grooves of the back teeth. This protective layer helps to prevent decay from food or bacteria getting stuck in the small grooves of a tooth. It is a quick and easy treatment that has no reason to be stressful or upsetting for children. We also offer fluoride varnishes, giving a child’s set of teeth that extra bit of protection against decay when used with regular brushing. A gel is applied to the teeth using a soft brush, which sets quickly and has a fruity smell and enjoyable taste. We also have the facilities to provide children’s sports guards; a service which enables your child to receive high quality and secure mouth protection when playing sport. Our guards cushion any contact to the mouth that may occur during a contact-sport, minimizing the risk of chipped teeth or soft tissue injuries of the mouth.
Our child friendly hygiene appointments provide tips on how to improve your child’s oral hygiene. Carried out by our gentle and friendly hygienists who will also discuss your child’s diet and the effects it may be having on their oral health.
