Check-up and Clean

At Hurstbridge Dental we believe that good oral hygiene is one of the most important aspects of general health. To support our patents with maintaining good oral health, we recommend a detailed check up with a dentist every 6 months along with a comprehensive scaling of the teeth, better known as “Check-up and Clean”. If you have not been to dentist in a while or are a new patient, the dentist will in most cases recommend radiographs (x-rays) of the teeth, which are taken during your appointment. This allows the dentist to get a better picture of the areas that lie underneath the gums. The Check up and clean is accompanied by oral health advice and discussion of a treatment plan if required.

Orthodontics is a specialty of dentistry in which the position of the teeth and bite are improved using dental braces, plates, headgear and aligners. Orthodontic treatment is used to correct crowded, crooked or bucked teeth. The position of the teeth and jaw is corrected which aesthetically improves the smile, the functionality of the bite as well as often improving the appearence of facial features. There are many options to straighten teeth and at Hurstbridge Dental we offer conventional dental braces as well as Clear Aligners

Clear braces are a type of orthodontic treatment and provide a great option to straighten teeth for those that are conscious of conventional metal braces. They work using a series of custom-made, very thin clear trays which apply gentle forces to move teeth into the desired position. The trays are removable and taken out to eat food which allows you to continue to eat your desired food with minimal changes in your lifestyle. The removable trays also allow you to maintain healthy teeth through regular cleaning and flossing.

Many people do not have enough space at the rear of their jaw for wisdom teeth to fully erupt and be functional. When there is not enough space for a wisdom tooth to come through, the tooth becomes wedged or “impacted” which may cause problems. The dentist may recommend wisdom teeth removal if there is insufficient room for your teeth to erupt or if you are experiencing symptoms associated with the eruption or impaction of your wisdom teeth.

A dental crown is a snugly fitting tooth shaped cap that is permanently cemented on a tooth. It is used as a long-term solution to restore a tooth’s shape, size, strength and improve its appearance.

When it comes to oral care, the Hurstbridge Dental team knows how to treat and support children of all ages.

At Hurstbridge Dental, we always make dental emergencies a priority by keeping daily spaces in our appointment books for patients needing help today, or this week.
