Need a bit more from your general dentist appointments? 5 treatments we offer at Old Windsor Dental
When discussing dentistry as a subject, you could be forgiven for mistaking general dental procedures as including nothing but check-ups, fillings, and extractions.
While these are, of course, very important preventive and restorative procedures in the dental community, there is far more involved in general dental work than just a routine examination!
If you are wanting to undertake any kind of restorative or cosmetic dental treatment, it is important that your teeth and gums, your building blocks as it were, are in good condition first.
At Old Windsor Dental, we want to make sure that all aspects of your oral health are in great shape and can offer you both preventive and general dentistry in Berkshire. Our dentists will work hard to make sure that both you and your family have a high standard of oral health for as long as possible, while also ensuring that your smile gleams too!
But aside from check-ups and fillings, what other types of general dentistry in Berkshire can our team offer? Read on to find out!
Root canals
While we know that this is far from the most popular treatment included in our general dentistry in Berkshire, it is by far one of the most important ones.
Usually performed after a tooth has become infected, root canals clean the inside of the tooth to remove any signs of infection and restore functionality to the tooth. Usually secured with a crown, this straightforward procedure has a success rate of over 95%, meaning your smile will remain in top shape for years to come.
Pregnancy dentistry
A time of great joy in both your and your partner’s lives, dentistry is a top priority for all pregnant women.
As pregnancy-related issues like morning sickness and calcium deficiencies can wreak havoc with your teeth, our dental team will work to ensure that both you and your unborn baby stay healthy from the beginning to the end of pregnancy.
Emergency dental appointments
Nobody wants to find themselves on the end of a dental emergency, but if you ever do, our team can help.
Offering same-day appointments for dental emergencies, our team will prioritise getting you out of any associated discomfort as quickly as possible, so you can get your life back on track. We can also offer over the phone advice on how to handle your emergency at home while waiting for your appointment with us, to keep you as comfortable as possible.
Jaw issues
Usually, due to misaligned jaws, conditions like temporomandibular joint disorder can cause chronic issues like headaches and migraines.
Our orthodontic team will work to realign your jaw with adult braces if necessary and manage any other symptoms, such as tooth grinding, with a customised, night-time mouthguard.
Sleep dentistry
Tired of your partner telling you that you snore? We can help!
Our dentists can assess the cause of your snoring and provide you with a custom-fitted lower jaw guard, to prevent you from snoring and to improve your overall quality of sleep. A good night’s sleep is a step in the right direction to maintaining robust general health.
