General & Family Dentistry
Comprehensive care for the whole family
At Staveley Dental Care we believe that regular dental examinations play an important part in maintaining good oral health.
Our Dental Health Check is a comprehensive check that includes examination of your teeth, gums and surrounding tissues to enable your dentist to provide you with an accurate assessment of the health of your mouth. If required, x-rays may be recommended during these visits. Using the information collected, your dentist can advise the time frame for repeat dental health checks. If treatment is advised then the patient will be provided with a written treatment plan with costs.
Our treatment is individually tailored to suit your needs and guided by our philosophy of minimally invasive dentistry and prevention. Our aim is to understand your dental needs, to treat existing problems as appropriate, and provide the highest quality ongoing care and management to maintain beautiful teeth for life.
Children’s Dentistry
We are happy to see young children of all ages to familiarise them with their dentist and the practice and to establish good habits for their future dental health. Our aim is to ensure that children view their visits to the dentist as a happy and positive experience.
It is our aim that every child in this practice should have a sound, healthy, beautiful smile and be treated in a caring, gentle environment where a visit to the dentist is something to look forward to.
Prevention of dental disease in children should begin at the moment the first tooth appears. As soon as the teeth are in the mouth, they should be cleaned gently with a soft brush and a tiny amount of children’s fluoride containing toothpaste.
Regular visits to the dentist are essential in the identification and treatment of any problems at an early stage. We recommend that all children from the age of 2 years should attend for examination every 6 months.
It’s important to encourage your child to brush at least twice a day, after breakfast and before bed. If you’re the parent of a young child we recommend that you supervise and support your child’s teeth brushing so that they learn how to clean their teeth properly themselves.
Our General Dentistry Services
Periodontics (Gum Treatment)
Periodontal diseases are infections of the gums which gradually destroy the support of your natural teeth. Early diagnosis and treatment is vital to prevent tooth loss. We provide thorough gum treatment and ongoing management to maintain healthy gums for life.
Endodontics (Root Canal)
Root canal treatment is needed when the blood or nerve supply of the tooth is infected through decay or injury. With effective local anaesthetic, root canal treatment is a painless procedure that preserves the tooth, saving it from extraction.
Crowns
Crowns become necessary when there is insufficient tooth structure to support a filling. We offer all-ceramic restorations with no metal for the most natural-looking results, especially for teeth visible when you smile.
Bridgework
Bridges are an ideal alternative to partial dentures and offer a permanent solution for missing teeth. They can be made of porcelain bonded to precious metal or newer, more popular materials.
Dentures
We offer acrylic dentures, cobalt chrome partial dentures, full dentures, and implant retained dentures to suit every patient’s needs and budget.
Smile Makeovers
Porcelain veneers are a strong and natural looking way to change the shape, colour and alignment of the teeth. They can close gaps, address short or small teeth, and provide support for the upper lip.
