Dental check-ups and general dentistry are at the heart of what we do here at Dentalcare Trowbridge. It is our mission to protect the long-term health of your teeth and gums and those of your family.

We offer the same excellent care to everyone whether you’re an NHS patient or private patient.

NHS patients

We remain dedicated to the NHS and all that it stands for. Our NHS service focuses on keeping your teeth and gums healthy. NHS costs are made as transparent as possible and we offer finance plans to help spread the cost.

Private dental patients

Certain dental treatments like teeth whitening are not eligible under the NHS and sometimes a patient might not be entitled to NHS registration. For private dental patients, your dental health is still our priority. We will get to know you and your requirements and work with you to find a detailed treatment plan. We operate a transparent pricing policy.

General dentistry treatments available in Trowbridge

At Dentalcare Trowbridge we offer a wide range of treatments. Some are cosmetic and some are to look after your general oral health. Examples of general treatments include:

 

  • Regular Check-Up. You should be visiting your dentist every 6 to 12 months. Your dentist will count your teeth and check that they are all healthy. Your mouth and gums will also be checked. Your dentist will be checking for any evidence of tooth decay, signs of gum disease, wear and tear on your teeth, signs of discolouration and checking how your teeth bite together
  • Fillings. At your general check-up, your dentist will check that any fillingsyou currently have are in a good condition and don’t need replacing. Your teeth will also be checked for any cavities and if you have any, you will be offered amalgam fillings or the popular white fillings to restore and protect your teeth. White fillingswill incur a charge as they are a cosmetic form of dentistry
  • Root Canal. When the blood or nerve supply to the tooth becomes infected, it can become painful. We remove all the infection from the root canal to prevent the spread of infection
  • Periodontics. If you show any signs of gum disease or are deemed to be at risk of gum disease, you may be referred to one of our periodontists who specifically deal with treating gums and bones that support your teeth
  • Emergencies. Dental emergencies are very common and affect 1 in 4 people during their lifetime. Whether you have a painful toothache or have suffered a chipped or knocked-out tooth, then you can call the surgery for an emergency appointment. We see patients within 24 hours of calling
  • Hygienist. Our hygienistsfocus on the health of your gums. They can help you to establish a good oral hygiene routine and focus on the prevention and treatment of gum disease. You should see your hygienist at least twice a year
  • Extractions. Removing a tooth can be necessary if it is failing or causing you unnecessary pain. A tooth may also need to be extracted as part of a planned treatment; this might include dental implants or for orthodontic work. Extractions occur quickly and painlessly; your dentist will administer a local anaesthetic to your gum so that you will not feel a thing
