Advanced Care for Urgent and Surgical Needs
-
Tooth pain can strike unexpectedly, often due to decay, infection, or injury. We carefully assess the source of your discomfort and provide immediate relief, whether through medication, fillings, or other necessary treatments. For complex cases, we’ll connect you with the right specialist for advanced care.
-
A broken or chipped tooth can affect your smile and oral health. We evaluate the damage and offer solutions such as bonding or fillings to restore the tooth’s appearance and function. If the fracture extends deeper or requires advanced treatment, we’ll ensure you receive a referral to a trusted expert.
-
If a tooth is knocked out, acting quickly can make all the difference. We’ll assess whether the tooth can be reinserted and stabilised. If reimplantation isn’t possible, we discuss alternatives like replacement options and guide you to the appropriate specialist if required.
-
Losing a filling or crown can expose your tooth to discomfort and potential damage. We replace lost restorations promptly to protect your tooth and restore its function. In situations requiring a more complex solution, we’ll refer you for additional care.
-
Swollen, painful gums or abscesses can indicate a serious infection that needs urgent attention. We diagnose the issue, provide immediate treatments like drainage and antibiotics, and take steps to alleviate your pain. If the infection requires more specialised care, we’ll ensure a smooth referral process.
-
A damaged denture, bridge, or other appliance can disrupt your daily life. We assess the appliance and, where possible, perform repairs or adjustments to ensure it works properly again. If a replacement is necessary, we help you explore the best options for long-term comfort and functionality.
-
Injuries to the mouth or jaw need careful evaluation to rule out hidden complications. We examine the affected area for damage to your teeth, gums, or supporting structures. While we address immediate concerns, we’ll refer you to a specialist for any complex injuries requiring advanced treatment.
-
We understand that dental pain can’t always wait. Our team prioritises providing swift and effective relief, whether through temporary measures or definitive treatments. If ongoing care is required beyond what we can offer, we ensure you are directed to the appropriate provider for comprehensive pain management.
-
When a tooth is damaged beyond repair due to decay, infection, or trauma, we perform safe and efficient extractions. For complex extractions, such as impacted or severely damaged teeth, we will guide you with a referral to a trusted specialist if needed.
-
When a tooth or root breaks below the gum line, surgical removal may be necessary. We carefully assess the situation and use precise techniques to extract the broken fragments while ensuring your comfort throughout the process.
-
Impacted teeth, like wisdom teeth or others that fail to erupt fully, can cause discomfort and complications. We provide thorough assessments and can perform straightforward removals. For complex cases, we ensure you are referred to the appropriate oral surgeon.
-
If you have concerns about unusual growths, lumps, or lesions in your mouth, we conduct a thorough evaluation as part of our routine oral cancer screenings. While we do not perform biopsies, if we find anything concerning, we provide advice and refer you to an oral surgeon for further evaluation or removal based on your preferences and needs.
