What general dentistry treatments are available at Smileology in Maidstone?

New Patient Check Up
Our New Patient Check-Up includes a comprehensive dental examination, digital X-rays, a gum health assessment, and a personalised treatment plan. Designed to support long-term oral health, it helps identify issues early, provides tailored oral hygiene advice, and gives you the confidence of a healthy smile from your very first visit.

Dental Hygiene
Our skilled dental hygienists provide gentle professional cleanings, plaque and tartar removal, gum health assessments, and personalised oral care advice. Designed to help prevent cavities and reduce the risk of gum disease, our hygiene appointments support long-term oral health and help keep your smile fresh, clean, and healthy.

Emergencies
Our emergency dental care provides prompt pain relief, urgent assessments, and fast treatment for toothaches, broken teeth, infections, and dental injuries. Whether you need help during the day or out of hours, our compassionate dental team is here to provide expert care, restore comfort, and support you when you need it most.

Fillings
If your tooth has a minor fracture or has been damaged through decay, you will need a filling to restore its shape and function. We offer the traditional amalgam fillings which are durable and inexpensive. We also offer white fillings which are made from composite material and are popular with patients from Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells as they blend in with your natural teeth colour.

Inlays and onlays
These are another type of dental restoration used to fix cavities which are too big to be repaired by a filling but not big enough to warrant a crown. An inlay fits between the cusps of the tooth whilst an onlay fits over one or more cusps which restores the chewing surface.

Crowns
If you have a tooth which has greater damage such as a larger fracture or more extensive tooth decay, you may need a crown. A dental crown sits on top of the damaged tooth covering it completely to provide strength and protection.

Bridge
A dental bridge is a solution to fill a gap left from a missing tooth. A new prosthetic tooth is kept in place using crowns on either side of the missing tooth.

Root canal treatment
If the pulp inside of your tooth becomes infected, usually through decay or through some form of trauma, you will need root canal treatment to remove the infection and prevent it from returning.

Extraction
Extraction of a tooth may be necessary if your tooth is severely damaged or decayed and cannot be saved. A tooth may also be extracted as part of planned treatment for example with orthodontic work, dental implants or if wisdom teeth are impacted or causing problems.

FAQs
Why might I need a dental crown and what is the process?
You may need a crown to protect a damaged or decayed tooth or after you’ve had root canal treatment. A crown can also be used to anchor a dental bridge. You will usually need two appointments to fit a crown. We will take impressions of your tooth to custom make your bespoke dental crown. Your tooth will be carefully shaped to fit the crown.
Which is the best filling if I have sensitive teeth?
White fillings are a good option if you have sensitive teeth as they are made of composite material. Amalgam fillings are made of metal and will therefore react by slightly contracting and expanding when you consume anything hot or cold. White fillings do not react to temperature changes.
Will I get any symptoms if I have an infection in my tooth?
You may need root canal treatment if you experience any of the following symptoms – sudden sensitivity to temperature changes, discolouration to your tooth, inflamed gums, toothache, tenderness in the gum, swelling to the cheek or jaw.
