01 / Dental careSix treatments
Our treatments.
From a regular cleaning to an unexpected concern, we begin by understanding what brings you here.
01General & preventive care
A closer look at your teeth, gums and everyday oral health.
A dental exam checks for decay, gum concerns and changes to existing dental work. Whether you are keeping up with care or returning after a break, begin with an examination and a plan for your next visit.
02Cleanings
Remove buildup and find a home-care routine that works for you.
Professional cleaning removes plaque and hardened tartar. Tartar cannot be removed by brushing alone. Your hygiene visit also makes room for questions about bleeding gums, sensitivity and daily care. Start with a cleaning assessment; the recommended frequency depends on your needs.
03Fillings
Repair a cavity and help restore the tooth’s shape and function.
A filling replaces tooth structure lost to decay. If you have sensitivity, a damaged filling or a concern about a tooth, we begin with an assessment. We explain the material, alternatives and fees before treatment is agreed.
04Crowns
Cover and support a tooth that needs more than a filling.
A crown fits over a tooth to restore its shape and help protect weakened structure. It may be considered for a broken tooth or a tooth with a large filling. Begin with an examination to understand whether a crown suits your tooth.
05Cosmetic consultations
Explore a change to your smile, with your dental health in mind.
A consultation starts with what you would like to change about the colour, shape or appearance of your teeth. We assess your oral health and explain suitable options, their limits and costs. Bring your questions; you do not need to choose treatment in advance.
06Emergency appointments
A prompt assessment for tooth pain, damage or an unexpected concern.
A toothache, broken tooth or lost filling can need timely attention. An emergency visit focuses on assessing the concern and discussing next steps. For a real urgent problem, contact a dental provider promptly; this demonstration cannot arrange care.

Useful details
Questions before
your visit.
A few things you may be wondering before you take the next step.
How often do I need an exam or cleaning?
The interval depends on your teeth, gums, oral-health history and how quickly buildup returns. Your dentist and hygienist will recommend a schedule after assessing your needs. A first visit is a useful starting point if it has been a while.
What is the difference between a filling and a crown?
A filling repairs an area of lost tooth structure. A crown covers the tooth and may be considered when it needs more support, such as after a large break or with a large existing filling. An examination helps determine which options are appropriate.
Will I need X-rays at every checkup?
Not necessarily. Recommendations depend on your history, examination findings and current needs. We explain why an X-ray would be useful before taking it.
Do I need a treatment in mind for a cosmetic consultation?
No. Begin with what you would like to explore. The conversation covers your oral health, possible options, their limitations and fees. A consultation does not commit you to treatment or promise a particular result.
What should I do about a toothache or broken tooth?
Contact a dental provider promptly and describe what has happened so they can advise on the next step and appointment availability. Do not wait for a routine checkup. This fictional website is not monitored and cannot provide emergency care.
What if dental visits make me nervous?
Tell us what you would like us to know before we begin. We can talk through each step, agree a hand signal for a pause and make space for questions. You can also tell us if you prefer less explanation during treatment.
Can I understand the fees before deciding?
Yes. We discuss the proposed care, alternatives, timing and fees before treatment. Benefits vary by plan; bring your information if you would like to discuss coverage. No fees or coverage are quoted by this demonstration.
