Comprehensive care focused on maintaining and supporting your oral health.
Patient Anxiety
If you feel anxious about visiting the dentist, you are not alone. Our team aims to provide care in a calm and supportive environment, taking the time to understand your concerns.
We use a range of approaches to help patients feel more comfortable during treatment, and will discuss options with you based on your individual needs.
First Visit
We understand that choosing a dentist is an important decision. From your first visit, our team aims to provide a professional and welcoming environment.
Your appointment will typically include a comprehensive examination of your teeth, gums, jaw and surrounding structures. We will discuss any findings with you and outline appropriate treatment options where needed.
For your convenience, you may choose to complete your medical and dental history forms prior to your appointment.
Fillings
Fillings are commonly used to restore teeth affected by decay, wear or minor damage.
At Smile On Camp Hill, we offer tooth-coloured restorative materials designed to blend with your natural teeth. Your dentist will discuss suitable options based on your clinical needs.
Fillings may be used to:
- Treat dental decay
- Restore worn or damaged tooth surfaces
- Repair chips or minor fractures
- Reduce tooth sensitivity in some cases
- Replace existing restorations where appropriate
Root Canal Treatment
Root canal treatment may be recommended when the nerve of a tooth becomes infected or inflamed.
Symptoms can include pain, sensitivity to temperature, or swelling, although some cases may present without symptoms. The Smile On Camp Hill team will assess your tooth, which may include clinical examination and imaging, to determine whether this treatment is suitable.
Where appropriate, root canal treatment aims to preserve the natural tooth. In some cases, alternative treatments such as extraction may be discussed.
Wisdom Teeth
Wisdom teeth may not always have sufficient space to erupt properly, which can lead to discomfort, infection or impact on neighbouring teeth.
Your dentist will assess your individual situation and discuss whether monitoring or removal is appropriate.
Jaw Pain
Jaw discomfort can arise from a range of causes, including teeth grinding, clenching, or issues affecting the jaw joint.
Assessment is important to identify contributing factors. Management may include monitoring, behavioural advice, or appliances such as a night splint where appropriate.
Sports Dentistry
Dental injuries can occur during sport and physical activity, particularly in contact sports.
At Smile On Camp Hill, we can provide advice on protective options such as custom-fitted mouthguards to help reduce the risk of dental injury.
