Routine Check-ups 

We believe that prevention is better than curing. Regularly visiting your dentist and hygienists for a check-up ensures that we catch any issues more quickly and improves the overall health of your teeth. 

After all, we’re a friendly bunch here at Homesteads Dental Practice! 

Fillings

One of the most common types of dental treatment carried out by any general dentist is a filling. These are used to treat cavities when they form. The procedure involves your dentist removing the decayed portion of your tooth and then filling the gap to prevent further decay.

Dental Hygiene 

With more adult teeth being lost through gum disease rather than tooth decay, regular dental hygiene treatment is essential to keeping your gums and teeth healthy. 

Root Canal

When the nerve of the tooth is compromised due to a crack or cavity bringing infection into your tooth, it may be necessary to have a root canal. 

Crowns 

If you have missing teeth, they can leave gaps in your smile. Not only that, but they can also put you at a greater risk of developing decay. Having crowns placed will help restore function to your bite and improve your confidence.

Tooth Extraction 

If your tooth is damaged or decayed and can’t be repaired with a filling or crown first, your dentist may decide to remove (extract) the tooth as a last resort.

Dentures

A denture is a removable replacement for missing teeth and surrounding tissues. Two types of dentures are available at Homesteads Dental Care : complete and partial dentures.

Dental Bridges 

If you’re suffering from tooth loss? Did you know that a dental bridge restores that and fills the gap between missing teeth. 

You will only be eligible for a dental bridge if you have strong teeth with good bone support. Thankfully, they are also available on the NHS!
