Regular dental examinations help identify changes in your teeth, gums and wider oral health before they become more difficult to manage.

During an examination, your dentist may assess:

Teeth for decay or damage
Existing fillings and restorations
Gum health
Your bite
Areas of sensitivity or discomfort
Changes inside the mouth
Signs that further investigation may be required

X-rays may also be recommended where your dentist needs information that cannot be seen during a routine examination. The clinic's existing general dentistry information also confirms that dental examinations may include checks for decay, gum disease, broken teeth and wider oral abnormalities.

Dental examinations currently start from £65.

Dental fillings are commonly used to repair teeth affected by decay, small fractures or other areas of lost tooth structure.

At Medical Dental Spa, composite tooth-coloured fillings can be used to restore suitable teeth while maintaining a natural appearance.

Your dentist will first assess the tooth and determine how much healthy structure remains. The damaged or decayed area is then treated before the filling is placed and shaped to restore normal function.

Seeking treatment early may help prevent relatively small areas of decay from progressing deeper into the tooth.

Composite fillings currently start from £180.

Healthy gums provide essential support for your teeth.

Bleeding when brushing, persistent bad breath, swollen gums or gum recession may indicate that your gums require professional assessment.

Our approach to gum care may include:
Gum health assessment
Professional dental hygiene
Plaque and tartar removal
Dental hygiene and AirFlow
Home-care advice
Ongoing monitoring
Gum disease treatment where required

Medical Dental Spa already provides dedicated gum disease treatment alongside dental hygiene within its wider dental service.

Regular professional care combined with effective brushing and interdental cleaning can help protect gum health over the long term.

Dental hygiene and AirFlow currently start from £120.

The best time to deal with many dental problems is before they cause significant pain or damage.

Preventive dentistry focuses on reducing the risk of tooth decay, gum disease and avoidable dental emergencies.

This may include:
Routine dental examinations
Dental hygiene
Oral health advice
Fluoride-based preventive care where appropriate
Monitoring early tooth decay
Advice about diet and oral hygiene
Regular reviews of existing fillings and restorations

Medical Dental Spa also offers preventive approaches for early tooth decay alongside more conventional restorative treatment.

Your dentist can recommend how often you should attend based on your individual oral health rather than applying the same recall period to every patient.

Root canal treatment may be recommended when the soft tissue inside a tooth becomes inflamed or infected.

Possible warning signs include persistent toothache, prolonged sensitivity, tenderness, swelling or pain when biting. However, some affected teeth may cause few symptoms initially.

Treatment involves removing infected or damaged tissue from inside the tooth, cleaning the root canal system and sealing the space to help preserve the natural tooth.

The existing Medical Dental Spa general dentistry information confirms that root canal treatment is used to treat infection within the centre of a tooth and may sometimes be followed by a filling or crown.

Your dentist will assess whether root canal treatment is appropriate or whether another treatment should be considered.

A dental crown is designed to cover and protect a tooth that has become weakened, heavily restored or damaged.

Crowns may be recommended after:

Significant tooth damage
Large fillings
Root canal treatment
Tooth fracture
Extensive wear
Certain restorative procedures

The crown is made to restore the shape and function of the tooth while being designed to blend with the surrounding smile.

Medical Dental Spa's existing dental information also identifies crowns and bridges as part of its restorative general dentistry services.

Your dentist will first assess whether enough healthy tooth structure remains and whether a crown is the most appropriate restoration.

Where possible, we aim to preserve natural teeth.

However, extraction may sometimes be necessary when a tooth is severely damaged, infected, extensively decayed or cannot be predictably restored.

Your dentist will explain why removal is being considered and whether another treatment could save the tooth before proceeding.

Following an extraction, you may also be advised about options for replacing the missing tooth where appropriate.

Medical Dental Spa provides oral surgery and tooth extraction as part of its broader dental care services.

Tooth extraction currently starts from £180.

Severe toothache

Facial or gum swelling

A broken tooth

A lost filling

A lost crown

Dental trauma

Wisdom tooth pain

A dental abscess
