What the assessment looks at.

  • 01

    Urgent symptoms

    Pain, swelling, infection and damage are identified so immediate priorities come first.

  • 02

    Can the tooth be saved?

    The remaining tooth, supporting bone and likely long-term outlook are assessed.

  • 03

    Gums and bite

    Gum health and the way the teeth meet affect repair and replacement planning.

  • 04

    Records and imaging

    X-rays, photographs, scans or 3D imaging may be used where clinically necessary.

Common questions.

Can a badly damaged tooth always be saved?

No. The amount of healthy tooth, infection, support and long-term outlook all matter.

Is root canal treatment a replacement?

No. It treats infection inside a tooth with the aim of retaining that tooth where possible.

How do a bridge and an implant differ?

A bridge is supported by teeth around a gap. An implant is placed in the jaw and supports a restoration.

Are dentures always removable?

Conventional dentures are removable. Implant-retained dentures use implants for added retention but are generally removed for cleaning.

What will treatment cost?

These routes vary significantly. Complete costs are confirmed in writing after the required assessment and records.

What if I am in pain now?

Contact the practice for an urgent assessment rather than waiting to choose a long-term replacement.
