Your Dorking Dentist

Are looking for a Dorking Dentist to provide you with a dental checkup examination?

Keep your Teeth and Gums in Excellent Condition

You’ve been told that it’s vital for you to visit the dentist regularly to ensure that your teeth stay healthy. But do you know about all the other assessments that are involved in a dental examination?

We are a Dorking Dentist. On arrival as a new patient we will ask you to complete a new patient medical questionnaire and a Smile wish list. All of this information is held confidentially. As an existing patient at your regular dental visits we will ask you to inform us of any medical changes. It is very important that you keep us informed of any changes in your health as it could impact on any proposed dental treatments.

Arundel Lodge Dental Surgery your family friendly Dorking dentist will conduct a thorough oral examination. And may need to take digital x-rays. If your teeth need a clean or any other treatment, we will explain this in advance and discuss your options along with any relevant costs with you. Your treatment may require you to attend a series of appointments.

Aside from checking the condition of your teeth during your appointment, and ensuring there’s no visible plaque or decay, we will also examine your gums and tongue too. Any early signs of potential problems like gingivitis (gum inflammation), periodontitis (gum disease) or mouth cancer can be detected with regular thorough examinations.

It is well documented and proven that a great smile improves our confidence and our Smile wish list is very useful in helping us understand our patients requirements, using the list to discuss with you realistically what it is you would like to achieve and together agree a plan of treatment.

In addition to our check-ups, we also have a variety of other general dentistry services available, including:

Crowns and bridges

If you have a weak tooth or are missing one or more teeth, you may need a crown or a

bridge. A crown sits over a tooth that may have been badly broken or weakened through decay or trauma, and will help to strengthen that tooth. It often improves the appearance of the tooth as well, if it is a porcelain based crown.

If you are missing one or more teeth, then your smile and bite can be restored with a bridge – this conventionally consists of one or more teeth being crowned and joined together to support the false one, so the space now has a “tooth”. Sometimes a missing tooth can be replaced with a modern adhesive type bridge – this uses a metal wing to carry the missing tooth. The wing is cemented with a high strength adhesive to the back of the supporting tooth next to the space and very little or no drilling is required.

They can be either “partial” dentures – replacing some selected teeth, or “complete” – where none of your original teeth remain.

Dentures

If you are missing several or all of your teeth, you may be able to regain your smile and bite by having dentures made – these can be significantly less expensive and invasive than bridges or implants.

If you have dentures, it is still important to continue to have regular dental check-ups to ensure that the soft tissues and gums remain healthy as well as any remaining natural teeth.

Endodontics

Regular dental exams should pick up any signs of decay in your mouth, which is very important as untreated decay can make its way through to the nerve of the tooth causing it to die off and become abscessed. This is not only very painful, but also means the dead tooth now needs to be extracted or have root canal treatment (endodontics).

Successful endodontic treatment can reduce the likelihood for needing implants or a dental bridge, as it is much more likely that you will be able to keep your original tooth. Here at Arundel Lodge Dental Surgery we can carry out routine root canal treatment in practice, and refer any complex cases to our trusted local specialist team in Dorking to ensure you have the best possible outcome.

Oral Surgery

Tooth Extractions

Many patients require tooth removal. This can usually be done within the dental surgery and in most cases without the need for sedation. Tooth extraction includes, impacted or partially erupted wisdom teeth, teeth beyond repair either from tooth decay, root fracture, or trauma, primary teeth that have failed to fall out, preventing the eruption of permanent teeth, orthodontic treatment plans, which may require the removal of some teeth to reduce crowding and achieve the optimum result.

Vijay accepts referrals for oral surgery, this will usually involve an initial consultation, outlining the treatment plan, followed by an appointment(s) to remove the tooth.
