DENTAL CROWNS
Looking just like natural teeth
A dental crown is a type of dental restoration used to fix teeth that have been broken, weakened by decay or have a very large filling. The crown fits over the remaining part of a prepared tooth, making it strong and giving it the shape of a natural tooth. It will also be tooth coloured, giving the restoration a more natural appearance so it fits in with the rest of your teeth.
A crown could be a good solution for you if you have large, discoloured fillings and would like to improve their appearance. Crowns can be used to replace these to give you a more aesthetic smile. Also, if you have had root canal treatment you will need a crown to protect the restored tooth, allowing you to eat and bite down on it as if it was a real tooth.
How long a crown lasts depends on how well it is looked after. It is important to keep this area just as clean as you would your natural teeth in order to prevent decay affecting the crown. Here at The Private Dental Group we recommend regular six monthly dental examinations and hygiene appointments to ensure your mouth stays in good health.

DENTAL VENEERS
Re-create a lovely, natural smile.
If you have discoloured, chipped or irregular shaped teeth, dental veneers can be used to re- create a lovely natural smile. Dental veneers are wafer thin yet strong and durable porcelain laminates that are fixed to your natural teeth. Shaped to perfectly mask and disguise imperfections, dental veneers will function as a normal tooth when you eat and their durable and strong material mean you can continue to bite, chew and enjoy all your favourite foods without worrying about the consequences.
If you don’t feel confident when you smile, maybe because your teeth are discoloured, chipped or uneven, then dental veneers are your answer. They are also perfect if your teeth are just a little twisted or you’ve been looking for a solution without the need for orthodontics or braces.
By removing the smallest amount of enamel from the front of your tooth and replacing it with a thin porcelain shell, which is bonded onto your existing tooth, you are left with a strong, straight and natural-looking smile.

DENTAL BRIDGE
Close the gap for a more youthful smile.
Dental Bridges are used to replace lost teeth without the use of a denture or dental implant and fill in the gaps in your smile.
Dental bridges can be used to replace one or more missing teeth by using one or both neighbouring teeth as anchors. The dental bridge is cemented to the anchor teeth and is fixed in place so that you can smile, laugh and eat with confidence. Your bridge will perform much like your natural teeth.
How long a dental bridge lasts depends on how well it is looked after. It is important to keep this area just as clean as you would your natural teeth in order to prevent decay affecting the bridge. At The Private Dental Group we recommend regular six monthly dental examinations and hygiene appointments to ensure your mouth stays in good health.

DENTURES
Smile and eat with confidence again
Create the smile and facial structure you want with hand-crafted, natural looking dentures.
If you have lost most or even all your teeth, have an awkward overbite or old worn-out dentures (false teeth), there are many options available for replacing missing teeth. Flat pink dentures are a thing of the past as we now hand craft dentures so they look realistic enough to convince even the most discerning onlooker that they are looking at natural teeth and gums.
The loss of teeth can have a negative effect on your self-confidence and impact your ability to chew food properly. Your teeth also provide structure and support to your face and cheeks, tooth loss can result in sagging face cheeks and make you appear much older than you are. Natural looking dentures can greatly improve the quality of a wearer’s life.
It is important to visit your dentist regularly even if you have no natural teeth, as your dentist checks more than your teeth. At The Private Dental Group we check the soft tissue parts of your mouth including the tongue and cheeks. It is important to spot any infections or mouth conditions at the earliest stage.

ROOT CANAL TREATMENT
Why and how?
Root Canal treatments are carried out when the inside of the tooth (the root or pulp) becomes infected or damaged.
Infection and damage to the root can be very painful, creating inflammation with the risk of severe pain and swelling. Root Canal Treatment eliminates the cause of the pain by completely removing the diseased or damaged tissue from the tooth. The root canal is meticulously cleaned, shaped and decontaminated, before securely filling it back up with a durable, inert material. This means you can be pain free whilst still keeping your original tooth.
There have been great innovations in the last few years to improve the comfort, speed and efficiency of this treatment. Our dentists are experienced, highly skilled and keep up-to-date with the most current concepts in Root Canal Treatment to ensure that they deliver the best possible care for our patients.

GENERAL DENTISTRY FAQs
Check-ups & Appointments
What services does a general dentist provide?
General dentists provide check-ups, X-rays, fillings, preventive care, basic gum treatment and referrals when needed.
How often should I see the dentist?
Most people benefit from a dental check-up every 6-12 months. Some people may need more frequent visits if they have a higher risk of dental problems, such as gum disease, multiple fillings, diabetes, or smoking.
What happens during a routine dental check-up?
During a routine dental check-up, the dentist examines your teeth, gums and mouth, may take X-rays if required, checks for signs of decay, gum disease and oral cancer, and discusses any findings and recommended next steps.
How long does a dental appointment usually take?
A standard dental check-up usually takes around 30-60 minutes. A professional cleaning typically lasts 30-45 minutes, depending on the level of plaque and tartar present.
What should I do before a dental appointment?
Brush and floss as normal, make a note of any concerns or changes in your health, bring a list of medications, and arrive early if you need to update medical information.
Why are regular dental visits important if I am not in pain?
Regular visits help detect problems early before they become painful, complex or costly to treat.
Cleanings & Hygiene
What happens during a professional teeth cleaning?
Plaque and tartar are removed using specialist instruments, followed by polishing to smooth tooth surfaces and reduce bacterial build-up.
How often should I have a dental cleaning?
Many people benefit from a professional cleaning every 6-12 months. Those with gum disease or heavy tartar build-up may require more frequent visits.
When can I eat after a dental cleaning?
Most people can eat shortly afterwards. Avoid very hard, sticky or strongly coloured foods for a few hours if the gums feel sensitive.
What is the best way to brush and floss my teeth?
Brush twice daily with a soft toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste for two minutes, and clean between teeth once daily using floss or interdental brushes.
Do I really need to floss?
Yes. Flossing removes plaque and debris from areas brushing cannot reach, reducing cavities and gum disease risk.
Which dental products are best for me?
Product choice depends on your teeth and gums. Your dentist or hygienist can recommend suitable options.
Cavities & Prevention
What is a cavity and how is it treated?
A cavity is a damaged area of a tooth caused by decay. Treatment involves removing the decayed area and placing a filling to restore function.
What happens if I do not get a cavity filled?
Untreated decay can worsen, leading to pain, infection, abscess formation and possible tooth loss.
Does getting a filling hurt?
Local anaesthetic is used, so discomfort is usually minimal and temporary sensitivity typically settles quickly.
How can I prevent tooth decay?
Limit sugar intake, brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, clean between teeth daily and attend regular dental visits.
Does my diet affect my oral health?
Frequent sugary or acidic foods increase decay risk. A balanced diet with limited snacking supports healthier teeth and gums.
Gum Disease
What is gum disease?
Gum disease is inflammation and infection of the tissues supporting the teeth. It can progress from gingivitis to periodontitis if untreated.
What are the signs I might have gum disease?
Bleeding gums, swelling, bad breath, gum recession and loose teeth can all indicate gum disease.
How is gum disease treated?
Early stages are treated with professional cleaning and improved oral hygiene. Advanced cases may require deep cleaning and ongoing maintenance.
Can gum disease affect my overall health?
Gum disease has been linked with heart disease, stroke and diabetes complications, making good gum health important for overall wellbeing.
Treatments & Procedures
What are my options for a damaged or missing tooth?
Options include fillings, crowns, root canal treatment, bridges, implants or dentures, depending on the situation.
Does it hurt to get a crown or major treatment?
Local anaesthetic is used and any post-treatment soreness is usually manageable with simple pain relief.
Are implants, braces or cosmetic treatments done by a general dentist?
Many general dentists provide these treatments, although complex cases may be referred to specialists.
Are dental X-rays safe?
Dental X-rays use very low radiation levels. Modern equipment and protective measures minimise exposure, and benefits generally outweigh risks.
Pain, Emergencies & Comfort
What should I do if I have a toothache?
Rinse with warm water, clean gently, use suitable pain relief and contact a dentist promptly.
What counts as a dental emergency?
Severe pain, swelling, knocked-out teeth, uncontrolled bleeding or trauma usually require urgent dental attention.
What can I do if I am nervous about going to the dentist?
Tell the dental team about your anxiety so they can explain procedures, work at your pace and discuss comfort options.
What is sedation dentistry?
Sedation dentistry uses medication to help patients relax during treatment, ranging from mild to deeper sedation in selected cases.
How do I choose the right dentist?
Consider location, opening hours, communication style and whether you feel comfortable and listened to.
BENEFITS OF REGULAR DENTAL CARE

Regular dental checkups help identify problems like cavities and gum disease in their early stages, making treatment more effective.

Pain Prevention
