Missing teeth can be replaced with implants, dentures or bridgework to restore your smile. Each solution is tailored to your needs, ensuring comfort and functionality. Book a consultation to discuss the best option for you.
Clear Braces - Invisalign & Angel Aligner
We offer clear aligner treatments, including Invisalign and Angel Aligners, which use see-through aligners to gradually adjust your teeth. Practically invisible, they fit seamlessly into your social and professional life.
Smile Makeovers
Unhappy with the way your smile looks? You may consider cosmetic dental treatment to improve the look of your teeth.
Dentures
Dentures are custom-made, removable appliances designed to replace missing teeth, providing a natural appearance and restoring essential functions such as chewing and speaking.
Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening is a reliable and effective way to lighten teeth stains and discolouration from food, drinks or ageing. This treatment can quickly enhance your smile, leaving it visibly brighter and more radiant in a short amount of time.
Composite Bonding
Composite bonding is a flexible cosmetic solution that restores chipped, uneven or stained teeth, helping to improve the natural appearance of your smile.
Traditional fixed braces provide a dependable way to straighten teeth over time, using metal brackets and wires designed to deliver precise alignment results.
Transformative Dental Care
One Smile at a Time
At Jamie Pugh Dental Healthcare, we’re proud to deliver exceptional care that sets us apart. Our team of experienced and caring professionals is committed to delivering exceptional dental care. We focus on achieving transformative results that bring lasting and positive changes to our patients’ lives.
Root Canal Therapy
Root canal therapy is a highly effective treatment designed to save teeth affected by deep decay or infection. By removing the damaged tissue and sealing the tooth, this procedure alleviates discomfort and helps preserve your natural smile. Our team ensures the process is as comfortable as possible, focusing on your well-being every step of the way.
Pregnant Women
Pregnancy is an exciting time filled with planning and anticipation, but with so much on your mind, your oral health might not be your top priority. However, keeping your teeth and gums healthy during pregnancy is more important than ever.
Hormonal changes during pregnancy can significantly impact your oral health. Many women notice red, swollen or bleeding gums when brushing, a condition called “pregnancy gingivitis”. This often begins as early as the second month of pregnancy due to elevated progesterone levels, which can be up to ten times higher than normal. These changes make your body more sensitive to plaque toxins, increasing the risk of gum disease.
Some women may also develop small, red growths on their gums known as “pregnancy granulomas.” While harmless, these nodules can cause discomfort. Additionally, issues like tooth erosion from severe morning sickness and dry mouth are common during pregnancy. Tooth erosion happens due to frequent exposure to stomach acid, while dry mouth can be managed by staying hydrated and using sugar-free lozenges to boost saliva production.
To ensure a healthy and comfortable pregnancy, we recommend scheduling a thorough dental check-up. Our team can help you maintain excellent oral health, supporting both you and your baby during this special time.
Jaw Problems
The way your upper and lower teeth come together when you close your mouth is called your bite. If they don’t align properly, you may have a condition known as malocclusion, or a “bad bite,” which can affect your teeth, gums, jaw joint (TMJ), and facial muscles.
Misalignment can lead to TMJ disorder, causing symptoms like clenching or grinding teeth, especially at night. This can result in facial pain, headaches, migraines, clicking sounds when chewing, and discomfort that may even extend to your neck, shoulders, or back.
If you experience these symptoms regularly, it’s essential to consult a dentist. They can diagnose the issue and recommend treatment or refer you to a specialist if needed.
Treatment may involve wearing a custom-made night guard, a hard plastic device that relaxes your jaw muscles and prevents damage from grinding. In some cases, orthodontic treatment, maxillofacial surgery, or replacing missing teeth might be required. Ill-fitting bridgework could also need adjustment to improve your bite.
Early intervention is key to preventing your symptoms from worsening or requiring more complex procedures later. If you’re experiencing any of these issues, visit your dentist for advice and care.
Extractions / Oral Surgery
Oral surgery involves dental procedures of a surgical nature, such as removing damaged teeth or impacted wisdom teeth. These treatments are carried out with precision and care, allowing patients to regain full use of their teeth and mouths comfortably.
If you have advanced tooth decay or a problematic wisdom tooth, oral surgery may be necessary to extract the affected tooth safely. Depending on the complexity of your situation, anaesthetic will be used to ensure the procedure is pain-free, and sedation can be offered if you feel anxious.
If you’re worried about a tooth, always consult a dentist rather than trying to remove it yourself. Attempting to pull a tooth at home can lead to serious complications. Dental professionals perform these procedures in a clean, safe environment, using the right tools to ensure a smooth experience and quicker recovery.
After wisdom tooth extraction, some swelling and discomfort are common, but these can be managed with over-the-counter pain relief. By seeking proper advice and care, you can address dental concerns effectively and with peace of mind.
Emergency Dental Care
Chipping or breaking a tooth due to an accident or injury can be a distressing experience. It’s essential to see a dentist as soon as possible, even if the damage seems minor. If a tooth has been completely knocked out, immediate attention is crucial, as it may be possible to re-implant the tooth depending on the severity of the injury.
- To give the tooth the best chance of being saved, handle it carefully, avoiding the root, and keep it clean. If you can, gently place the tooth back in its socket and bite down on a clean paper towel for about 15–20 minutes.
- For chipped teeth, your dentist can often smooth out the uneven edge or restore it with a tooth-coloured filling. If a back molar is broken, it may need to be replaced with a crown to restore its function.
- If you require emergency dental care, contact us immediately. Current patients can often be seen on the same day for emergencies like toothache, chipped or broken teeth, lost crowns or fillings, abscesses, facial swelling, and trauma. Prompt treatment not only addresses the injury but also prevents further complications.
If you don’t have a dentist, you can contact the “In Hours” Dental Service at 0300 123 50 60 for assistance.
For emergencies outside our practice hours, such as evenings, weekends, or bank holidays, please call the Out-of-Hours Dental Service at 0300 123 50 60. We are here to help you recover quickly and avoid future dental problems.
Mercury / Almalgam Filling Removal
If you need a filling, a great cosmetic option is a white filling that matches the natural colour of your teeth. You can also replace any old metal fillings with tooth-coloured ones, giving your smile a more natural, seamless look. Here’s how white fillings work:
The process begins with removing any decay from the tooth and, if you’re replacing metal fillings, taking out the old material. The new filling is made from a durable, tooth-coloured substance that can withstand the pressure of biting and chewing for years to come. The entire procedure is completed in one visit, and your new filling will be virtually invisible when you smile.
Benefits of White Fillings:
- A natural-looking restoration that blends seamlessly with your teeth
- Improved appearance without sacrificing functionality for biting and chewing
- A long-lasting, durable solution for restoring your teeth
TMJ / Occlusal Problems
Your “bite” refers to how your upper and lower jaws meet when you close your mouth. If your teeth don’t align properly, it can lead to malocclusion, or a “bad bite,” which can cause issues with your teeth, gums, temporo-mandibular joint (TMJ), and the muscles in your face.
This misalignment, often linked to TMJ disorder, can result in jaw clenching, teeth grinding, and discomfort. It can also cause facial pain, headaches, jaw clicking when chewing, migraines, as well as neck, shoulder, and even back pain.
If you experience any of these symptoms regularly, it’s important to see a dentist. Treatment options include:
- Taking impressions of your teeth to create a customised plastic appliance, worn at night
- This device helps relax facial muscles, preventing grinding and relieving pressure on the TMJ
- It also protects your teeth from excessive wear caused by grinding
Depending on your condition, you may require orthodontic treatment or maxillofacial surgery. Solutions like replacing missing teeth or adjusting ill-fitting bridgework could also be necessary. It’s crucial to visit your dentist promptly to avoid worsening issues that may require more invasive treatments later.
Life Benefits:
- Reduced facial and TMJ pain, with fewer headaches
- Prevention of excessive tooth wear
- Improved sleep quality
Hygienist / Therapist
Dental hygiene treatments are carried out by a specially trained dental hygienist, who helps remove plaque that has built up on your teeth. Here’s what you can expect from a hygiene appointment:
- Your teeth and gums will be thoroughly assessed to determine the amount of plaque removal needed, and any potential risk factors will be discussed.
- Your teeth will be professionally cleaned using special equipment and pastes in a process called scaling and polishing.
- The hygienist will also provide guidance on how to take care of your teeth to prevent plaque build-up in the future. You’ll receive advice on brushing techniques, flossing, and using interdental brushes.
At our practice, dental hygiene also plays a key role in preventing gum disease and bad breath. If you have dental work such as a bridge, denture, braces, or implants, your hygienist will be able to give tailored advice on how to maintain your oral health.
Regular hygiene appointments are essential to keeping your mouth clean and healthy.
Life Benefits:
- Reduced risk of tooth loss
- Lower chances of developing cavities or needing fillings
- Fresher breath
We’re excited to introduce a new dental hygiene treatment: Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT). This innovative treatment uses the AIRFLOW® technology to gently clean and polish your teeth. The procedure removes biofilm, stains, and early-stage calculus from natural teeth, fillings, and implants. Since the AIRFLOW® system uses warm water, it’s an ideal choice for patients with sensitive teeth.
GBT is an 8-stage process that ensures a thorough yet gentle clean using the EMS AIRFLOW® machine. It’s an effective way to remove plaque, stains, and early calculus from teeth, implants, restorations, braces, and below the gum line.
Benefits of Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) and AIRFLOW®:
- AIRFLOW® is the only technology that effectively cleans all the hard-to-reach areas of your mouth, such as deep pits, fissures, interdental spaces, crowded teeth, and around implants. It’s also highly effective for cleaning around braces.
- GBT is gentle and minimally invasive, preserving the integrity of your natural teeth, implants, and fillings. It’s the most delicate way to clean teeth and remove stains.
- GBT is a comfortable treatment throughout all 8 stages. The AIRFLOW® system uses warm water, which makes it a great option for sensitive areas and gum recession without needing local anaesthesia.
