General dentistry encompasses a wide array of dental services aimed at maintaining and improving oral health. This includes routine check-ups, fillings, crowns, bridges, root canal treatments and extractions. Our approach at Malvern Hills Dental Care focuses on preventing dental issues through regular examinations and cleanings, ensuring any potential problems are addressed promptly and effectively.
General dentistry addresses a variety of common dental issues. Regular check-ups can help prevent and treat tooth decay, gum disease and oral infections. Fillings and root canal treatments are used to restore teeth damaged by decay or infection. Crowns and bridges repair and replace damaged or missing teeth, while extractions are performed when a tooth is beyond repair. By catching and treating these issues early, we can help you maintain a healthy and pain-free mouth.
During a general dentistry appointment, a thorough examination of your teeth, gums and overall oral health is conducted. X-rays may be taken to provide a detailed view of your dental structures. Based on this assessment, a personalised treatment plan is created to address any issues. Treatments may include professional cleanings to remove plaque and tartar, fillings to repair cavities or more complex procedures like root canals and crowns. Our team works closely with you to ensure you understand each step of your treatment and feel comfortable throughout the process.
The benefits of general dentistry are numerous. Regular dental visits help prevent serious dental issues, such as cavities and gum disease, which can lead to more significant health problems if left untreated. Professional cleanings and exams keep your teeth and gums healthy, reducing the risk of tooth loss and promoting overall oral health. Additionally, addressing dental problems early can save you time, discomfort and money in the long run. General dentistry also contributes to a confident smile and improved self-esteem.
Our dental hygienists are vital to preventive care, offering professional teeth cleaning to help prevent gum disease while educating patients on how to maintain proper oral hygiene at home. During hygiene appointments, plaque and tartar are removed, and you’ll receive tailored advice to keep your mouth healthy. This proactive approach is key in preventing gum diseases like gingivitis and periodontal disease.
To help you achieve a brighter smile, we offer professional tooth whitening services. Our home whitening kits include custom-made trays and bleaching formulas, allowing you to whiten your teeth comfortably at home. The process begins with an initial appointment to take impressions or a digital scan of your teeth for your trays to be made. During a follow-up appointment, the trays are fitted and you are provided with detailed instructions on their use.
Air polishing is a service offered by our team of hygienists and uses a special stain removing powder. It is a treatment that is gentle to the tooth surface and effectively removes the natural build up of plaque and staining that can be caused by tea, coffee, smoking, red wine, etc.
It can provide a good starting point prior to teeth whitening allowing you to achieve your optimum result and can also be beneficial prior to or during orthodontic treatment, as keeping your teeth clean while wearing braces can be difficult for some patients.
Understanding that dental visits can be stressful for some patients, we have introduced therapy dogs to help alleviate anxiety and create a more relaxing environment. Our gentle and kind therapy dogs, Caesar and Nelly, are available to comfort and soothe patients. If you find it beneficial, you can spend time with them before your appointment to help calm your nerves. Please call ahead to ensure they will be available during your visit.
