Immediate dentures are either full or partial dentures that are used as replacement teeth and given on the same day of the extraction.

Root canal treatment (RCT) is an often straightforward procedure to relieve dental pain and save the teeth. Patients need a root canal when there is inflammation or infection in the roots of a tooth.

There are many reasons why someone might feel anxious about going to the dentist. It is very personal, and examples can be from the smell, the feelings during treatment, ‘the needle’ or the drill.

One of the most rewarding treatments I love to provide for my patients are Veneers. Veneers are basically tooth coloured coverings over the front of your teeth and are usually made out of porcelain but can also be made with other composite materials.

The best ways to look after your teeth and gums are still the same; brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste and a soft-bristle toothbrush for 2-3 minutes, floss your teeth every day, have a diet low in sugary and acidic foods and drinks and visit your dentist regularly.
