checkups & examinations

For as little as £40 all new patients will have a full mouth examination, including any x-rays that may be required. The check up will allow the dentist to note important descrepanices in perodontal care ( hygiene ), broken fillings, loose teeth, any obvious signs of decay. The dentist will also be screening the mouth for any signs of oral cancer.

The check up will also allow the dentist to give the patient different options for any problems that may have been highlighted, including any pros and cons and cost implications.

For example, a front tooth may require extraction. The varoius treatments would be:

Do nothing at all ( This can be an option for patients if the extraction is for a tooth at the back of the mouth)
A partial denture. This can be a relativley inexpensive treatment option, but some patients may find a denture irrataiting.
Bridge work. This is ideal if the teeth next door to the extracted tooth have fillings. The cost of this procedure will vary depending on the extent of the bridge work.
Implants. This involves a titanium screw being placed into the jaw bone and a crown being fixed to the screw.
