Routine Dental Check-Ups
(Children’s & Adult)
A Routine Dental Check-Up is like a health MOT for your mouth. It’s a chance for the dentist to check how your teeth and gums are doing and ensure your smile is as healthy as possible.
These Check-ups are crucial for spotting cavities and detecting early signs of gum disease, alignment issues, or other oral health concerns.
What Happens During Your Visit?
Each of the treatments at our clinic usually starts with a quick discussion of your general health and any dental care you’ve had before. We might take some X-rays to get a closer look at your teeth and gums to ensure we’re not missing anything that can’t be seen with the naked eye.
Then, we examine the mouth, check your teeth and gums, and see their health. We’ll also check the inside of your cheeks and your tongue to make sure everything looks good there too. If we spot anything that needs a bit more attention, like signs of gum disease, we can talk about what to do next.
How Often Should You Visit?
Everyone’s different, so how often you must come in can vary. Some people might come once a year, while others might need to visit more often, especially if they’re getting treatment or have something special we need to keep an eye on. We’ll work out a schedule that’s just right for you.

Veneers
(For an Individual tooth or multiple teeth)
Veneers can make a big difference in how you feel about your smile. They’re a good choice to make your teeth look nicer and feel better about smiling. Veneers are thin covers for teeth. They can improve the appearance of your smile if your teeth are worn out, chipped, or not as white as you’d like.
When Veneers Might Help
Consider veneers if you have:
- Teeth that are chipped or broken.
- Teeth that aren’t white anymore.
- Spaces between your teeth.
- Teeth that look worn out.
- Teeth that don’t line up well or are oddly shaped.

Dull or yellowed teeth can subtly influence both your self-image and how others perceive you. However, you can achieve a brighter, more confident smile with regular visits to teeth-whitening expert in Manchester.
What to Expect:
In the First visit, we will perform full dental examination prior to planning any of the cosmetic procedure. Once the stability of overall dental health has been confirmed, the Dentist will take records of your current teeth shade and take an impression for making a special tray for the teeth whitening.
In the second visit, you will be provided with the special trays and whitening gel with a lot of instructions to follow, to ensure the safe use of whitening gel.
Once achieved the desirable outcome you can discontinue the treatment, or discontinue the treatment if you experience any side effects e.g., Sensitivity.
Composite Bonding
Sometimes, the smallest change can have the most profound impact. Composite bonding is a terrific choice for anyone looking to improve their smile without altering the natural structure of their teeth. This technique allows us to enhance your smile by adding material directly onto your tooth, maintaining its original integrity.
Why You Might Need Composite Bonding:
- To Enhance Your Smile Without Alterations
- For a Pain-Free Dental Experience
- If the thought of dental procedures makes you uneasy, composite bonding is a great option.
- If your teeth have minor chips or wear, especially on the front teeth.
- To Address Discolouration and White Marks
- After Orthodontic Treatment
- For a Quick Smile Makeover
More about Composite Bonding
Composite bonding is often recommended after orthodontic treatment. Braces can sometimes leave teeth misaligned or with wear and chips, particularly on the front teeth. Composite bonding can effectively address these issues, building up the teeth post-braces for a straight, well-shaped smile with dramatic results.
Composite bonding isn’t just for post-orthodontic care; it’s also an excellent option for teeth that are damaged or discoloured. In some areas, white marks on the front teeth are a common issue due to fluoride in water. Composite bonding can restore these teeth to perfection by removing a small amount of the blemish (often without the need for anaesthetic) and applying the bonding material for a flawless finish.
One of the best things about composite bonding is that it is completely pain-free. There’s no need for anaesthetic, drilling, or any alterations to your tooth structure. The process involves merely polishing your teeth, applying the resin material, and finishing with a high-grade polish for a smooth and natural look.
A composite bonding restoration typically lasts between 5-6 years before it may need a touch-up or repair. The durability of bonding makes it a great investment in your smile, with minimal maintenance required.
Dental Bridge
Dental bridge are a durable and aesthetic solution for replacing one or more missing teeth. By anchoring to the natural teeth or implants on either side of the gap, a bridge consists of one or more false teeth, known as pontics, which literally “bridge” the space. This restoration not only restores the appearance of your smile but also prevents the remaining teeth from shifting, which can lead to bite and other oral health problems.
When to Consider a Dental Bridge
- Ideal for replacing one or more missing teeth.
- Helps keep the remaining teeth in place.
- Improves chewing and speaking affected by missing teeth.
- Fills gaps in your smile with teeth that look and feel natural.
The Process
The process begins with a thorough evaluation to determine if a bridge is the best solution for your needs. This might include discussing your options and taking impressions or digital scans of your mouth.
The teeth adjacent to the gap, known as abutments, are prepared by reshaping them to support the bridge.
A temporary bridge may be placed to protect the exposed teeth and gums while the custom tooth bridge is being crafted.
Once your teeth bridge is ready, the temporary crowns/bridge is removed, and the new bridge is adjusted to ensure a perfect fit. It’s then securely cemented into place.
After Care
Maintaining a dental bridge involves good oral hygiene, including regular brushing and flossing.
Special care should be taken to clean underneath the pontic to prevent plaque build-up and ensure the health of the anchoring teeth and gums.
Regular dental check-ups are also essential to monitor the bridge’s condition and the surrounding teeth’ health.
Dentures
Dentures are a practical solution for replacing missing teeth, designed to restore the function and appearance of your natural smile. These removable appliances can replace a few missing teeth (partial dentures) or an entire set (complete dentures), depending on your needs. Dentures not only enhance your smile and facial structure but also improve your ability to eat and speak comfortably.
Considering Dentures? Here's What You Need to Know
- Complete Dentures: Ideal for when all teeth are missing, resting directly on the gums.
- Partial Dentures: Used when some natural teeth remain, attaching to existing teeth with clasps.
- Immediate Dentures: Sometimes offered immediately after tooth extraction, providing a temporary solution while your gums heal.
Your journey to Getting Dentures
We’ll discuss your dental history, concerns, and the best denture option for your lifestyle and needs.
Detailed impressions of your mouth will be taken to ensure your dentures fit comfortably and function like natural teeth.
Your dentures will be custom-made to match your natural tooth colour and fit snugly over your gums, ensuring a natural look and feel.
Once your dentures are ready, we’ll adjust them to ensure a perfect fit, comfort, and maximum functionality.
Types of Dentures
⦁ Acrylic denture
⦁ Flexible Denture
⦁ Cobalt Chrome Denture (Also known as Metal denture)
Single Dental Implant
Losing a tooth—whether due to an accident, disease, or other reasons—can alter how you enjoy daily activities like eating and speaking. A single-tooth implant is a comprehensive solution that replaces your missing tooth without disturbing neighboring teeth.
Why Consider a Single Dental Implant?
A single-tooth implant might be the right choice, if:
- You have one missing tooth that needs replacement.
- You’re looking for a durable alternative to bridges or dentures.
- You want to preserve your jawbone and maintain facial structure.
- You desire a solution that looks, feels, and functions like a natural tooth.
Procedure
The procedure begins with a comprehensive oral health assessment and along with detail radiographic assessment to determine whether you need new tooth implant. This includes discussing your medical history and any specific needs or concerns you might have.
The process involves several key steps:
- The titanium screw is precisely placed into your jawbone, under local anaesthesia to ensure your comfort. This serves as the new root for your tooth.
- The single dental implant requires a few months to integrate with your jawbone, creating a strong foundation for the new tooth.
- Once the implant has bonded with the bone, an abutment is attached to serve as a base for your new crown. The crown is then fitted, matching the colour and shape of your natural teeth to complete your smile.
- Throughout this process, We focus on making your experience as smooth and comfortable as possible, ensuring you’re well-informed and at ease at every step.
Get in touch to learn how a one-tooth replacement can restore your smile’s natural beauty and functionality.
Multiple Dental Implants
Losing more than one tooth can lead to further dental issues and affect facial structure. Multiple dental implants restore these gaps with individual titanium posts anchored securely in the jaw, each crowned with a lifelike prosthesis. This option improves aesthetics and helps fill in those gaps with teeth that look and feel real so you can smile, talk, and eat like you used to.
Why Might You Need Multiple Teeth Implants?
- If you’re missing more than one tooth, they’re not all in the same spot.
- If you don’t like having a denture or a bridge.
- If you want to stop your jawbone from weakening where the teeth are missing.
- If you’re looking for something that feels like your own teeth.
Procedure
First Step: We will check your mouth and teeth to ensure that implants fit you well. We will then discuss your health and any worries you might have.
Putting Them In: We put these tiny metal posts (the implants) into your jawbone where your teeth are missing. Don’t worry; We make sure you’re comfortable and can’t feel anything during this part.
Healing Time: Your jaw and the implants need time to get used to each other. This process can take a few months, but it ensures the implants are strong and ready for the new teeth.
Adding the New Teeth: After everything’s healed, we attach little bits called abutments to the implants. These hold your new teeth. Then, we put on the new teeth that match your other teeth so everything looks natural.
If you’re troubled by gaps from missing teeth and are considering a comprehensive solution like multiple dental implants or full teeth replacement, let’s talk.
Implant Secured Dentures
Traditional dentures can slip, causing discomfort and embarrassment. Implant-secured dentures offer a stable, secure fit by anchoring your denture plate to implants placed within the jawbone. This procedure offers the confidence to eat, laugh, and talk without worry.
Why Might You Need Implant-Secured Dentures?
- If you’ve struggled with loose dentures and want something that stays, put.
- If you’re after a solution that feels more natural and lets you enjoy your favorite foods.
- If you’re keen to boost how you feel about your smile and lift your confidence.
Procedure
- We place small titanium screws, much like roots, into the jaw. They’re the foundation for your new secure dentures.
- Number of Implants: Depending on your specific needs, you might need 2 to 4 implants for each denture. It’s all done with care and under local anaesthetic, so you’re comfortable throughout.
- Healing and Bonding: The implants and your jaw need time to get acquainted. This bonding process takes 3 to 6 months, ensuring a solid base for your dentures.
- Temporary Teeth: While you’re healing, we will fit immediate dentures, so you’ll always have a smile.
- Final Touches: Once healed, we attach abutments to the implants. These little connectors hold your dentures firmly in place. They come in different materials, and I’ll help you choose the best one for your look.
- Your New Dentures: Then, it’s time for your new dentures. We make sure they match your natural teeth, so your smile is seamless.
Benefits for You
- Enjoy eating again with stable dentures that don’t move around.
- Say goodbye to those awkward moments when dentures slip.
- Support your facial structure, giving you a fuller, more youthful appearance.
- Forget about messy adhesives; these dentures stay put on their own.
- Easy to remove for cleaning, keeping your mouth fresh and healthy.
All on 6 Impacts
All-on-6 dental implants take the concept of full-mouth restoration a step further, providing even greater stability and support for your new teeth. Like the All-on-4 method, this technique uses implants to secure a full arch of teeth, but with two additional implants for enhanced strength. This can be particularly beneficial for those needing extra support due to bone density or for a more demanding bite force.
All-on-4 or All-on-6?
While All-on-4 is a fantastic solution for many, All-on-6 offers increased stability, which can be crucial for certain cases. The two extra implants help distribute the force more evenly when you bite, potentially offering a longer-lasting solution and reducing the chance of implant failure.
Why Consider All-on-6?
- If you have a higher bite force or need extra support for your new teeth.
- For improved distribution of bite pressure, reducing stress on individual implants.
- If you’re looking for a solution offering even better longevity and resilience.
- It is ideal for those with sufficient jawbone structure to support the additional implants.
The All-on-6 Process
- Detailed Assessment: We begin with a comprehensive evaluation and detail radiographic assessment to determine if All-on-6 suits you, considering your jawbone’s health and specific needs
- Precise Implant Placement: Six implants are strategically placed in jaw areas with the best bone quality, ensuring a secure foundation for the new teeth.
- Immediate Transformation: Often, we may attach a temporary set of teeth on the same day, allowing you to enjoy the benefits of your new smile immediately.
- Healing Period: Over the next few months, the implants integrate with your jawbone, creating a robust base for your permanent teeth.
- Final Smile Restoration: Once integration is complete, we attach your permanent, custom-made teeth, designed to match your natural teeth and enhance your smile.
Apicectomy
An apicectomy, or root-end resection, is a precise procedure to treat persistent infections in the root canal area, especially when conventional root canal treatment hasn’t succeeded. This involves surgically removing the tip of the root and any infected tissue.
An apicoectomy is a specialized dental procedure to treat persistent infections in the root tip of your tooth and surrounding tissue. This surgery is typically considered when a root canal treatment hasn’t completely resolved an infection. An apicoectomy aims to preserve the natural tooth, prevent further infection, and maintain the health of the surrounding bone and gum tissue
Why Might You Need an Apicoectomy?
- When root canal treatment alone doesn’t eliminate an infection.
- If an infection reoccurs at the root tip after a root canal.
- To address small, hidden root fractures or complex root structures that could harbor bacteria.
Understanding the Apicoectomy Process
Initial Examination: A detailed evaluation, including radiographic assessment will be conducted to assess the extent of the infection and the tooth’s condition. This helps in planning a precise and effective surgical approach.
Surgical Procedure: The apicoectomy involves making a small incision in the gum tissue to expose the underlying bone and the infected root tip. The tip of the root, along with any infected tissue, is carefully removed, and the end of the root canal may be sealed with a small filling to prevent future infections.
Focused Aftercare: Recovery from an apicoectomy involves following specific care instructions to ensure proper healing, manage discomfort, and prevent complications. This might include guidelines on oral hygiene, diet, and any necessary follow-up appointments.
An apicoectomy is a precise surgical intervention focused on resolving persistent infections at the root tip, promoting the long-term health of your natural tooth and surrounding tissues. If you’re experiencing issues after a root canal or suspect a recurring infection, an apicoectomy might be a viable option. We’re here to discuss your concerns, explore potential solutions, and ensure you’re fully informed about your treatment options.
