General Dentistry

general

In terms of General dentistry, at Witney Dental Practice, we offer all of the following restorative and cosmetic dental treatments

Fillings: Tooth-coloured fillings, also known as composite fillings, are a type of dental filling made from a blend of plastic and glass materials. They are designed to match the natural colour of your teeth, making them less noticeable compared to traditional silver (amalgam) fillings.

Crowns: these are artificial teeth or ‘caps’ which can be fitted over broken or damaged teeth. These will maintain their structure and protect them from further damage. A CEREC crown is a type of dental crown that is created and placed in a single visit using advanced computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology.

Bridge: A dental bridge is a dental restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth by “bridging” the gap between existing teeth. It consists of one or more artificial teeth (called pontics) that are anchored to the adjacent natural teeth (called abutment teeth) for support.

Root canal treatment: A root canal treatment is a dental procedure used to treat infection or damage to the pulp (the soft tissue inside the tooth that contains nerves and blood vessels). The pulp can become infected or inflamed due to deep decay, repeated dental procedures on the tooth, or a crack or chip in the tooth.

Dentures: A denture is a removable dental appliance used to replace missing teeth and the surrounding tissues. Dentures are custom-made to fit your mouth and can restore both the appearance and function of your teeth, helping you eat, speak, and smile with confidence.

Dental hygiene: a visit to a dental hygienist, a trained professional who focuses on cleaning your teeth, preventing oral diseases, and providing guidance on maintaining good oral health. Here at Witney Dental we offer airflow polishing as part of our services.

Implants: a permanent solution used to replace missing teeth. It involves a small titanium post that is surgically placed into the jawbone, acting as a replacement for the tooth root. Once the implant has integrated with the bone (a process called osseointegration), a crown (the visible part of the tooth) is attached to the implant, restoring both the function and appearance of the missing tooth.

Cosmetic dentistry: is a branch of dentistry focused on improving the appearance of a person’s teeth, gums, and smile. While traditional dentistry typically focuses on the health and function of the teeth, cosmetic dentistry is all about enhancing the aesthetic aspects of your smile. This can include everything from whitening and reshaping teeth to more advanced procedures like veneers, composite bonding, crowns, or implants.

Invisalign: is a modern orthodontic treatment that uses clear, removable aligners to straighten teeth. Unlike traditional metal braces, which use brackets and wires, Invisalign aligners are custom-made to fit snugly over your teeth and gently shift them into the desired position over time.

At Witney Dental we pride ourselves in offering a first class patient experience, using the latest dental technology and techniques, to ensure you receive the best of dental treatment available, that will keep you smiling with confidence for years to come.
