Saving Teeth

Healthy natural tooth preservation, whenever possible, is our clinical priority here at Wimpole Street Dental Clinic, alongside the preservation of healthy gums, strong jaws and so the restoration of good oral health. A regular schedule of both dentist and dental hygiene appointments complemented by a commitment to a good and daily oral hygiene regime at home is your best defence against the onset of  both tooth decay, potential tooth loss and gum disease.

Should you need a dental treatment designed to save your teeth where possible, rest assured that we have a selection of options available for you to consider, as deemed appropriate and as recommended by your dentist. If you are experiencing severe toothache caused by inflammation or damage to the roots of your teeth, then you may need virtually pain-free root canal treatment. Similarly, if you find when you are caring for your teeth every morning and evening that you may have developed swollen or bleeding gums then a periodontitis treatment may be necessary. To address smaller tooth cavities, we can offer fillings and for larger ones inlays or partial crowns are an effective treatment to consider. If multiple, larger tooth cavities are present, rest assured that dental crowns are a well-established procedure available to you from our experienced dental specialist team.

Sometimes more complex issues arise which need a more significant dental intervention such as the removal or wisdom teeth or cysts so we are delighted to be able to offer oral surgery from our in-house operating theatre to swiftly and expertly to resolve these conditions on these occasions. Our dental hygiene service is performed by our dedicated team of dental hygienists whose professional teeth cleaning can conserve the level of good oral health you may already have, prevent any tooth decay or gum disease occurring or reoccurring and advise you on the best level of dental care and optimum nutritional and behaviour habits you may wish to adopt post appointment to conserve the quality of your now transformed smile and restored gums, teeth and jaws.
