NHS Care
Dentistry is one of the few NHS services where you have to pay a contribution towards the cost of your care.
This covers emergency care in a primary care NHS dental practice such as pain relief or a temporary filling.
This covers an examination, diagnosis (including X-rays), advice on how to prevent future problems, a scale and polish if clinically needed, and preventative care such as the application of fluoride varnish or fissure sealant if appropriate.
This covers everything listed in Band 1 above, plus any further treatment such as fillings, root canal work or removal of teeth but not more complex items covered by Band 3.

Dental Implants
Dental Implants are the best option when it comes to replacing missing teeth.
The implants are placed into the jaw where they bind to the bone, and replicate natural teeth.
They can be used to replace single missing tooth, many teeth, or even all teeth.
They can even be used to stabilise loose dentures where they "lock" the dentures into place so that they don't move.
I am a new patient to this practice, having changed because I would not have trusted our previous dentist [practice] to carry out the procedures I wanted.

Cosmetic Teeth Straightening is fixed orthodontic treatment with a modern twist on tried-and-true orthodontics.

Teeth Whitening
Over time tea, coffee, red wine and foodstuffs can discolour teeth so they appear yellower.
As more people now keep their natural teeth for life, this yellowing can detract from the beauty of their teeth and has an ageing effect.
These days the fashion is for whiter, younger-looking teeth and this can often be achieved using a simple teeth whitening procedure which removes the staining that has been absorbed into the teeth and so restores their previous colour.
All teeth respond differently to whitening so it is difficult to accurately predict the end result, but usually an improvement of between five and seven shades can be expected.

Dental Bridgework
If you are missing one or multiple teeth, this can have a significant effect on the appearance and functionality of your mouth.
Therefore, it is important that you replace missing teeth as soon as possible to avoid further damage, including further tooth loss, alteration in bite and possible infection.
Typically made from metal and porcelain, dental bridges are perfect for achieving a natural looking smile that feels and functions just like the real thing.
A dental bridge is a false tooth that is used to fill the gap created by a missing tooth or teeth.

Dental Veneers
Veneers can be made for a single tooth that might be dark from having a root treatment, or for all the teeth that show on smiling.
Usually a mould of the new tooth is created in wax to be viewed and approved before the treatment commences.
To allow the veneer to sit comfortably under the lips there tends to be some minimal reduction of the tooth surface and to ensure the procedure is comfortable it is carried out with the gum area frozen with flavoured gels and local anaesthetics.
During the procedure patients can watch a DVD or listen to relaxing music.

Dentures
There is no substitute for your own teeth for both appearance and function and making dentures that perform as well as natural teeth is one of the most difficult challenges of modern dentistry.
It is true to say that good dentures can improve your quality of life.
At Littleborough Dental Practice we aim to surpass your expectations, making sure you have an attractive appearance and can eat comfortably.
Providing the dentures to restore your mouth takes place over a number of appointments, depending on how many teeth need replacing.

You can choose a single-coloured or multi-coloured sports guard.

Composite Fillings White Fillings
There are many instances where teeth have minor discrepancies in their position, shape or contour and these could be improved cosmetically using the new composite filling materials that are bonded onto the surface of the tooth.
The underlying tooth is not disturbed so rarely is any anaesthetic needed.
These modern composite materials can make a tremendous difference very quickly although they will deteriorate over time and start to stain or chip and polishing or replacement may be necessary.
These types of restorations can be especially valuable for younger patients where the teeth are still developing.
