Here at Purley Dental Care we offer a full range of general dentistry services aimed at maintaining oral health and addressing common dental issues. From routine check-ups to more complex procedures like root canal therapy and the manufacture of dentures, our general dentists play an important role in ensuring healthy smiles for you and your family.
Regular check-ups are the cornerstone of general dentistry. These preventive appointments typically occur every six months and involve a thorough examination of your teeth and gums. Our dentists use this opportunity to detect and address any early signs of dental problems, such as cavities, gum disease, or oral cancer.
They may also refer you to our hygienists who perform dental cleanings to remove plaque and tartar, helping to prevent tooth decay and gum disease.
Root canal therapy is a special treatment within general dentistry. When the pulp inside a tooth becomes infected or inflamed due to deep decay or trauma, a root canal procedure is necessary to save the tooth. During this procedure, the dentist removes the infected pulp, cleans and disinfects the tooth's interior, and seals it to prevent further infection. Root canal therapy can effectively relieve pain and save teeth from extraction.
Dentures are another essential aspect of general dentistry work here at Purley Dental Care. Dentures are custom-made prosthetic devices that replace missing teeth and restore a person's ability to speak and eat comfortably.
Our dentists carefully design dentures to fit the unique contours of your mouth, ensuring both function and appearance.
Fillings are commonly used to treat cavities caused by tooth decay. Our dentists remove the decayed portion of your tooth and fill the resulting space with materials like composite resin, amalgam, or porcelain.
This procedure restores the tooth's strength and prevents further decay. We offer traditional amalgam fillings but also very popular cosmetic white fillings to preserve your smile aesthetic.
Crowns and bridges are used where teeth are severely damaged or missing. Crowns are tooth-shaped ‘caps’ that are placed over a damaged tooth to restore its shape, strength, and appearance.
Bridges, on the other hand, are used to replace missing teeth by anchoring artificial teeth to adjacent natural teeth or dental implants.
These restorative treatments enhance both functionality and aesthetics.
