Toothache Relief

A persistent toothache can be debilitating. Our team will diagnose the root cause—be it a cavity, infection, or gum issue—and provide swift treatment to alleviate your pain.

Common Causes of Toothache:

  • Deep decay or untreated cavities
  • Gum disease
  • Damaged fillings or crowns
  • Emerging wisdom teeth

Wisdom Teeth Extractions

Impacted or partially erupted wisdom teeth can lead to pain, infection, and even damage to adjacent teeth. Our experienced dentists provide wisdom teeth extractions with minimal discomfort, ensuring proper healing and reducing the risk of complications.

When to Consider Extraction:

  • Chronic pain or swelling
  • Difficulty opening your mouth
  • Crowding or shifting of adjacent teeth
  • Repeated infections around the wisdom tooth

Learn More About Wisdom Teeth Extractions or call 01922 624900 to schedule a consultation.

Trauma Teeth

Dental injuries—from chipped teeth to dislodged or avulsed teeth—require immediate attention to prevent further damage. Our trauma teeth services include quick repairs, stabilization, and, if needed, root canal therapy to save the affected tooth.

Types of Trauma We Treat:

  • Fractured or chipped enamel
  • Partially dislodged teeth (luxation)
  • Completely knocked-out (avulsed) teeth
  • Soft tissue injuries around the gums and lips

Root Canals / RCTs

Severe decay or infection can reach the tooth’s pulp, causing intense pain and risking tooth loss. Root canal treatment (RCT) saves the tooth by removing the infected pulp and sealing it to prevent reinfection.

Signs You May Need a Root Canal:

  • Persistent throbbing pain
  • Sensitivity to hot or cold
  • Swelling or tenderness around the tooth
  • Darkening or discoloration

Schedule a Root Canal Consultation to relieve pain and protect your tooth.

Home Visit Dentist

For patients who can’t reach our clinic due to mobility issues, health concerns, or busy schedules, we offer home visit dentist services. Our team arrives with the necessary tools to handle a variety of treatments, ensuring you receive the urgent care you need in the comfort of your own home.

Ideal for:

  • Elderly or mobility-limited patients
  • Post-surgery or hospitalized individuals
  • Anyone seeking the convenience of at-home dental care
