Weybridge dentists offer plenty of dental treatments for patients in need
Dentists are trained experts who are very knowledgeable about each and every aspect of your mouth. Not only can they examine your mouth for signs of poor oral health, they can diagnose the problem and offer appropriate dental treatments where necessary. Read on if you want to find out more about some of the many dental treatments which are on offer in your Weybridge dental surgery.
If you have an excess of plaque that has built up on your teeth then it can start to erode the protective layer of enamel, causing holes to form in your teeth. Dentists can offer treatment for this by filling these holes. In the past, dentists used metal fillings but now they favour cosmetic bonding techniques which give patients more aesthetically pleasing and precise tooth coloured fillings.
In the case of an infection which has affected the interior of a tooth, dentists can offer root canal treatment. This complicated and specialised practice is carried out so that the tooth can be cleared of compromising material without having to be drilled into. Instead dentists enter the tooth via the root canal. The level of expertise needed to perform this kind of work exemplifies how talented dentists are at what they practice.
In a similar vein, dental implants require a high level of technical ability. These clever devices act as a replica of the root part of a lost tooth. They need to be placed below the gum and precisely against the jaw bone so that the implant and the bone can fuse together. If you need any dental treatments then you should go to your Weybridge dental surgery where you will be able to find out how they work, the costs and other information.
