General Dental Treatments

General dentistry involves diagnosing and treating common oral health problems that can directly affect one’s overall health. As your general dental physicians, our dentists will provide preventive and restorative dental care to ensure that you enjoy optimal oral and physical health and a naturally beautiful smile.

Another crucial aspect of general dentistry in Ipswich is patient counselling and education. Our highly qualified and experienced general dentists will guide each patient on the best practices to maintain optimal oral hygiene and advise them about a tooth-friendly diet so they enjoy pearly white, healthy teeth throughout life.

At Allen House Dental, we offer a complete range of general dentistry services so that your entire family’s dental health is taken care of, including children. Our high-quality general dentistry services at Allen House Dental Ipswich include the following:

Dental Check-ups

Dental check-ups are an essential component of general dentistry. At Allen House Dental, we recommend our patients visit us for check-ups every six months. This helps us identify any underlying issues before they grow bigger and require expensive and time-consuming treatment. During a dental check-up appointment, we will thoroughly evaluate every aspect of every patient’s dental health status and provide appropriate treatment. Optimal oral hygiene maintenance and regular dental check-ups go hand-in-hand in helping one enjoy minty fresh breath and a charming smile. 

Teeth Cleanings

Teeth cleaning, also known as scaling and/or polishing, involves removing plaque and tartar deposits from the teeth that serve as precursors for gum disease. According to the NHS, teeth cleanings are preventive procedures performed by dental hygienists or dentists to prevent gum-related problems. During this procedure, we will use an ultrasonic scaler that removes adherent plaque and tartar deposits from the teeth and pockets that develop between the gums and the teeth.

Dental Hygiene

Dental hygiene evaluation is a routine procedure performed at every check-up appointment. Our dentists will carefully evaluate each patient’s oral hygiene status and suggest treatment options. For example, if someone has mild gum disease, we will perform professional teeth cleaning to fix the underlying issue. On the other hand, if the gum disease has progressed to an advanced level, surgical periodontal treatment may be needed to restore gum health. We will also examine digital X-ray images of your teeth to check for dental cavities and other issues. 

Gum Disease

Gum disease is among the leading causes of tooth loss worldwide. That is why everyone needs to look after their oral hygiene and gum health. According to the British Society of Periodontology and Implant Dentistry, gum disease or periodontal disease, refers to the inflammation of; the gums, the tissues that support the teeth, and the underlying jawbone. Gum disease is reversible early through oral hygiene maintenance and teeth cleanings. However, advanced gum disease extensively damages the dental supporting tissues, ultimately leading to tooth loss – and requiring tooth replacement. At Allen House Dental, our periodontists are trained and fully equipped to treat even the most complicated and complex dental issues.

Children’s Dentistry

At Allen House Dental Ipswich, we believe that good dental habits develop during the early years of life. More importantly, we believe that children’s milk teeth are equally important as permanent teeth. That is why we take the utmost care to ensure that our paediatric patients receive high-quality dental care so they can enjoy a milky white smile and strong, healthy teeth throughout life. 

We offer comprehensive children’s dentistry services at Allen House Dental, including dental fillings, temporary crowns, space maintainers, and oral hygiene education. So, you can rest assured that your kids are in good hands with us. 

Tooth Extractions 

At Allen House Dental, we make the utmost efforts to save even the most badly damaged teeth. However, there are certain situations when teeth still need to be extracted. For example, tooth extractions are needed to replace irreversible damaged or fractured teeth. Furthermore, impacted or extra teeth that cause overcrowding may also be removed to prevent the remaining teeth from getting damaged. 

Emergency Dentistry 

Dental emergencies are preventable, but they cannot be avoided altogether. At Allen House Dental, we understand that dental emergencies can happen to anyone, anywhere, and anytime. That is why we offer round-the-clock dental emergency services to our patients. If you have a severe toothache, simply give us a call, and we will take it from there.
