Examinations
It’s important to see your dentist twice a year; so that your dentist can check for problems that you might not see or feel. An exam allows your dentist to find early signs of decay and to treat any other oral health problems found. Generally, the earlier a problem is found, the more manageable it is. Teeth can be preserved to old age if care and attention are given to them with good oral hygiene practices which we always encourage our patients to do.

Dental X-Rays
Dental X-rays (radiographs) are images of your teeth that we use to evaluate your oral health. These X-rays are used with low levels of radiation to capture images of the interior of your teeth and gums. This can help your dentist to identify problems, like cavities, tooth decay, and impacted teeth. If you’re a new patient, you’ll probably undergo dental X-rays so that your new dentist can get a clear picture of your dental health. This is especially important if you don’t have any X-rays from your previous dentist. Make a Busy Bite Booking today if you need an X-Ray
Cleanings
Properly cleaning your teeth at home is just the first step towards good dental hygiene. We also advise visiting us regularly for deeper cleaning. Even if your teeth feel clean, it is necessary for a dental professional to perform a thorough examination in order to be sure as the beginning stages of gum disease are often hard to detect.
Fillings
Your teeth can develop cavities when harmful bacteria in your mouth make acids that attack the tooth enamel. More severe decay can cause large holes or even destruction of the entire tooth. If during an examination, the dentist notices a small hole or cavity in your tooth, they will use a filling to treat it. Make your Busy Bite Booking today for your regular examinations so we can help detect cavities early and keep your teeth clean, strong and healthy.
Crowns
A crown is a cover or “cap” your dentist can put over a tooth. A crown restores a damaged or missing tooth to its normal shape, size and function. A crown can protect the tooth or improve the way it looks. Your dentist may recommend a crown to:
-
-
Support a tooth that has a large filling when there isn’t enough natural tooth structure remaining
-
Attach a bridge to replace missing teeth
-
Protect a weak tooth from fracturing
-
Restore a fractured tooth
-
Cover a badly shaped or discolored tooth
-
Cover a dental implant
-
Your crown should look natural and fit comfortably in your mouth. To decide which material to use for your crown, you and your dentist will consider many factors, such as:
-
the tooth’s location and function
-
the position of the gum tissue
-
the amount of tooth that shows when you smile
-
the color or shade of the surrounding teeth
Make your Busy Bite Booking today to also discuss costs and insurance with your dentist. All these factors will help you determine what your personal preference is when it comes to having a crown installed.
