Treatments
At Soutergate Dental Practice, it is our aim to provide high quality, personalised dental care in a friendly, comfortable environment.
The team is here to look after all of your dental needs and believe that a focus on prevention and regular dental care are vital in maintaining a healthy smile.
Wherever possible, we recommend minimal intervention dental treatments which are less destructive and help preserve more of your natural tooth.
We offer a wide range of treatments, including:
- Full examination, including mouth cancer check
- Hygienist visits for cleaning and preventative advice
- Tooth coloured fillings
- Crowns and veneers
- Bridges and dentures to replace missing teeth
- Extraction of teeth
- Root canal treatment
- Tooth whitening and cosmetic recontouring
- Treatment of gum disease
Implants are managed by referral to an experienced implant surgeon
Preventative Treatments
We offer many preventative treatments, including Hygienist appointments, dietary advice and analysis, fissure sealants and topical fluoride application. Our dental hygienist, Sarah, is a very important member of the team. She concentrates on the treatment and prevention of gum disease that can cause teeth to be lost due to the destruction of the supporting bone, ligament and gum. She routinely cleans teeth, monitors gum condition and offers advice on oral hygiene techniques and diet.
If your dentist recommends an appointment with the hygienist it is because signs of gum problems have been diagnosed and you will benefit from the care in both active treatment and preventative advice that the hygienist can offer.
Emergency appointments
Our Practice dedicates time every day for regular patients with dental emergencies, so whenever possible please contact us as early as possible during normal surgery hours. This helps us to see you on the same day if necessary.
Outside normal hours, emergency contact information is on the practice answerphone.
