Our team can help repair your teeth with a variety of solutions, from dental fillings to root canal treatment, and our team here in Durham provides only the highest quality of care for our patients. Before any treatment plan, we will provide an initial consultation to take time to understand your needs and tailor treatment to suit you and your specific issue.
Fillings are used to treat small cavities and repair damaged teeth, helping to stop decay from spreading. Tooth-coloured (white) fillings are available for a natural look, blending in with your surrounding teeth.
During your routine dental health check-up at Durham Smile Clinic, your dentist will check your teeth for signs of decay or damage and explain any findings clearly. If a filling is needed, they will discuss your options and recommend the best solution for your tooth.
Most fillings are placed in a single appointment. The dentist will remove the decay, clean the area, and place the filling to restore the strength and appearance of your tooth.
Root canal treatment is needed when the inside of a tooth becomes infected. This can happen due to deep decay, a cracked or damaged tooth, a large filling, or an injury. If left untreated, the infection can cause pain, swelling, or lead to tooth loss.
Common signs you may need root canal treatment include ongoing toothache, pain when biting, sensitivity to hot or cold foods and drinks, darkening of the tooth, or swollen gums.
At Durham Smile Clinic, root canal treatment is carried out by a specialist dentist. The area is fully numbed to keep you comfortable. The infection is removed, the tooth is cleaned and then sealed to protect it. This treatment relieves pain and may help save your natural tooth.
If you have any questions about the treatments we offer, our location or general questions about your treatment, you can contact us in a number of ways.
