Treatments for Dental Trauma
Every day of the week, we have at least one experienced dental trauma dentist. They are working at the surgery (not just on call!).
Being treated by an experienced clinician is essential to the likely success of any treatment for trauma.
Most trauma involves very little damage. Therefore it can be easily corrected by a Bonded Tooth Coloured restoration. However, we also treat some severe trauma cases.
We see lots of examples of bicycle accidents recently.
We offer a full range of Radiographic diagnostic tools, including CBCT scans.
Indeed we are the only practice in the area that offer this service.
