Our General Dental Services
Comprehensive Check-ups & Professional Cleans
Routine check-ups are essential for identifying concerns before they become more complex. At each visit, we examine your teeth, gums, jaw joints and soft tissues. We also provide:
- Scale and polish to remove plaque and tartar
- Fluoride treatment (where appropriate)
- Oral hygiene advice tailored to your needs
- Digital X-rays if needed to assess areas below the surface
Regular check-ups help reduce the risk of decay, gum disease, and more invasive treatment later on.
Tooth-Coloured Fillings
When decay or damage affects a tooth, we use high-quality composite resin materials to restore strength and appearance. These white fillings are matched to the colour of your natural tooth and shaped carefully for comfort and durability.
We do not use amalgam (silver) fillings. All restorations are done with a focus on precision, function and aesthetics.
Gum Care & Periodontal Maintenance
Healthy gums are the foundation of a healthy smile. We assess your gum health during every check-up and provide treatment plans for:
- Early-stage gum inflammation (gingivitis)
- Periodontal (gum) disease
- Deep cleaning (scaling and root planing)
- Ongoing maintenance for patients with a history of gum issues
Root Canal Therapy
When the nerve inside a tooth becomes infected or inflamed, root canal treatment can help preserve the tooth and relieve discomfort. This procedure involves removing the affected tissue, disinfecting the canal, and sealing the tooth with a strong, protective filling or crown.
Root canal therapy is performed with precision and care, often under local anaesthetic or sedation if needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Most patients benefit from a check-up and clean every 6 months. However, your dentist may recommend more frequent visits depending on your oral health, risk of gum disease, or ongoing treatment needs.
Not always. X-rays are recommended when your dentist needs to assess areas that aren’t visible during a standard examination, such as between teeth or beneath fillings. They help identify decay, infection, or bone loss early and guide treatment planning.
You may need a filling if you experience sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweet foods, notice a dark spot on your tooth, or feel a rough edge or hole. In some cases, early decay causes no symptoms — which is why regular check-ups are important for early detection.
Gum disease is usually caused by plaque build-up and poor oral hygiene. Early-stage gum inflammation (gingivitis) can often be reversed with professional cleaning and improved home care. Advanced gum disease (periodontitis) may require ongoing management and deep cleaning.
Root canal therapy is performed under local anaesthetic and is designed to relieve pain caused by infection or inflammation. While some discomfort may occur during recovery, the procedure itself is typically no more uncomfortable than a routine filling.
We understand that many patients feel nervous about visiting the dentist. At Better Smiles, we offer a calm environment and sedation options to help you feel more relaxed. Our team takes the time to explain each step so you feel informed and in control.
