Dental check-ups in Falmouth

Dental hygiene

It’s common knowledge that we need to look after our teeth, but we often forget about the importance of looking after our gums. Taking care of your gum health should be as much of a priority as your teeth, which is why we recommend seeing a dental hygienist, as well as your dentist in Falmouth, regularly. Your dentist and dental hygienist will work together to create a tailored plan for your oral health care, to make sure your teeth and gums are well looked after and any oral health concerns are caught nice and early. Trust us, you’ll be glad you invested in your oral health further down the track!

An appointment with our experienced dental hygienist involves a thorough check of your gums to make sure there’s no plaque build-up or gum disease, as well as a deep clean and scale to remove any nasties, finished off with a polish. You’ll leave a dental hygienist appointment with your mouth feeling fresh and squeaky clean.

Dental crowns

Dental crowns are a good option when inlays, onlays, and fillings won’t be sufficient to restore decayed or damaged teeth. How do dental crowns work? The first step is for your dentist to remove all decay or damage from the affected tooth, leaving just a post in its place as a replacement tooth, which will be strong enough and secure enough to hold your new dental crown. To ensure a close match between the shape and shade of your crown and the rest of your smile, we work closely with our dental laboratory to create the optimal dental crowns tailored to you. After the procedure, you'll be smiling with confidence and eating normally in no time!

Crowns at Kimberley Park Dental Practice are great for:

• Improving the strength of teeth that have been weakened by decay
• Making sure fractured, cracked, and worn teeth are protected
• Enhancing a tooth's shape, shade, and alignment
• Strengthening the tooth after a root canal

Root canal

Root canal treatment has a bit of a scary reputation, but at Kimberley Park Dental Practice, we aim to make it as comfortable and as possible. We use a root canal to treat an abscessed, fractured, infected, decayed or abscessed tooth; removing infected and damaged tissue in order to reduce further spread of an infection, relieve pain, and make sure surrounding tissues are cleaned and brought back to a healthy state.

We’ll do everything we can to save the infected tooth, but if it can’t be saved, alternative options include a removable denture, a dental implant, or a fixed bridge. Don’t worry, your experienced dentist will take you through all your treatment options, and make sure you’re comfortable before proceeding with your treatment.
