Common Dental Treatments – Dentist Wembley

For healthy teeth and gums, seeing a dentist regularly is essential. Many people will often go years without visiting a dentist, often resulting in more treatment being required when they finally do make an appointment, such as complicated restorative procedures. We understand that fear is a big factor when it comes to seeing a dentist, so we have listed some of the common types of treatments you might receive from the dentist, so you know better what to expect from your next appointment. If you are searching for a dentist in Wembley, visit our website, or contact us today.   

Dental Hygienist

Poor oral hygiene is the leading cause of gum disease, which affects over 60% of UK adults. Having an appointment with the dental hygienist for regular cleaning can help minimise your risk of developing gum disease. It is particularly recommended if you are in a group that has a higher risk of gum disease. The dental hygienist will conduct a thorough cleaning, removing all plaque and tartar build up from your teeth. They can also advise you on an effective oral cleaning routine. If you would like to book an appointment with a dental hygienist at our Wembley dentist practice, give us a call, or click the ‘Book a Consultation’ button at the top of the page.     

Root Canal

A root canal may be needed for a tooth that is severely infected. It is a routine procedure that allows the infected tooth to be saved, eliminating the need for costly restorative treatments or implants. Symptoms of a tooth needing a root canal include extreme sensitivity to hot food and drinks, random painful throbbing, pain when biting or chewing and a swollen face or gum. If any of these symptoms are presenting, make an appointment with your dentist as soon as possible. Our expert Wembley dentist service will be happy to advise.

Tooth Extractions

It may be the case that a tooth is too decayed or damaged to be saved, so that extraction of the tooth is the only remaining option, to prevent any bacteria spreading into the other healthy teeth. A dentist will use a local anaesthetic to numb the area around the tooth, meaning the patient will not feel any pain during extraction. For more information, contact one of our friendly team or visit our page on tooth extraction.

Restorative Dentistry

If you have a cavity or a broken tooth, you may need to undergo some restorative dental treatment. The two main types of restorative treatment are fillings and crowns. A dental filling restores a tooth with a cavity in it by removing the decayed part of the tooth and filling it with a composite material. Patients, depending on their budget, can choose between silver and white fillings. A dental crown is a cap to cover a broken or damaged tooth, blending in to look like a normal tooth. Crowns can protect and strengthen weakened teeth, restore broken teeth and cover misshapen or discoloured teeth. There is a variety of different types of crowns, including porcelain bonded, zirconia, ceramic, gold and silver. If you need a crown, you can discuss with your dentist the type of crown that would best suit you. For a dentist in Wembley, with years of experience in restorative dentistry, book an appointment with us today.

Teeth Whitening

Most of us would like to own a set of sparkling white teeth, giving our smile that extra brilliance and appeal. But age, certain habits like smoking and the things we eat and drink can leave a mark on our not so pearly whites, causing them to appear stained and yellow. At Victoria Road Dental Clinic, we offer the latest whitening treatments, both fast acting and affordable, to bring the brightness back into our patients’ smiles. So don’t worry, there is hope! Stained teeth are not forever. Teeth whitening solutions are available for a range of budgets and can be done at home or in a dentist’s office. Our two main teeth whitening systems lets you whiten your teeth from the comfort of your home. By taking moulds of your teeth, we can then have custom whitening trays sent made to use at home. We use both the Boutique Whitening and Enlighten B1 systems for our patients. For more information about teeth whitening, visit our page. If you are looking for a dentist in Wembley to carry out a tooth whitening, contact one of our team today.
