Ashgrove Dental Clinic

GENERAL DENTISTRY

DENTAL CHECKUP

Here at Ashgrove Dental Clinic we recommend that you have a check-up every 6-12 months to maintain healthy teeth and gums.


During your check-up we will do a visual inspection of your teeth and gums to check for gum disease and other potential problems that may have arisen since your last visit.

EXTRACTIONS

There are many reasons that you may need to have a tooth removed in your lifetime but extractions need not be a daunting prospect.

Ashgrove Dental Clinic can carry out this procedure in the most pain-free way possible.

FILLINGS

When possible we utilise tooth coloured restorations that give you back a natural smile when a front tooth is in need of restoration. Our tooth coloured restorations come in a large range of shades to maximise aesthetics.

For back teeth metal alloy (amalgam) fillings or crowns may be more appropriate for a long lasting, durable restoration.

DENTAL HYGIENE

Dental hygienists are specially trained to work with the dentist and they play an important part in dental healthcare. Hygienists are mainly concerned with gum health and prevention of dental disease. Part of their role is to train patients and educate them on how to prevent dental disease with the correct home care and dietary advice for a lifelong healthy mouth.

EMERGENCY SERVICE

If you are in pain, please contact us on 045 888218 and we will endeavour to facilitate you as soon as possible, hopefully on that same day, during normal working hours.
