Dental Check-up, Dental Filling, Scaling & Polishing, Tooth Extraction, Root Canal Treatment and Artificial Teeth — explained in full, so you know exactly what to expect.
A routine check-up is the foundation of good oral health — a full examination of your teeth, gums and mouth to catch small problems, like an early cavity or gum inflammation, before they become painful or costly.
When decay has created a cavity, a filling removes the decayed portion of the tooth and seals the space, stopping decay from spreading and restoring the tooth's shape and function.
Mild sensitivity to hot or cold for a day or two after a filling is normal — it should settle on its own. Persistent pain is worth a follow-up call.
Also known as a professional clean, scaling removes hardened plaque (tartar) that brushing alone can't reach, especially along and beneath the gumline — polishing then leaves teeth smooth and reduces new plaque sticking as easily.
When a tooth is too damaged, decayed or impacted to save, extraction removes it under local anaesthetic — carefully, and only after alternatives like a filling or root canal have been ruled out.
After extraction: Avoid rinsing forcefully, using straws, or smoking for 24 hours — this protects the healing blood clot and lowers your risk of a painful "dry socket."
When decay or injury reaches the soft tissue (pulp) inside a tooth, root canal treatment removes the infected tissue, cleans the canal, and seals it — saving the natural tooth instead of extracting it.
Whether you've lost one tooth or several, artificial teeth — dentures, bridges or crowns — restore your bite, your speech and your smile, fitted and adjusted to feel as natural as possible.
