Maintenance therapy - scaling a patients' teeth

"My teeth were fairly discoloured with visible dark staining appearing through the cracks of my teeth due to excessive tea drinking.

It was quick, easy and painless and lifted all of the stains away. As a result my teeth now look much cleaner but also a degree whiter.

I am more than pleased with the results and would recommend it to anyone!"

Laser Gum Disinfection (Periowave) - from £140

We are one of the few clinics in Sussex to offer Periowave. Periowave is a technology that works to kill the bacteria associated with periodontal diseases by utilising a non-thermal laser light, combined with a photosensitising solution. It is painless (no injections required), quick, effective and most importantly, safe.

^top

Registration fee and mouth review for hygiene treatments - £10

Access to hygiene services in the UK is limited and the availability of appointments does not often fit with our busy lifestyles.

Alternatively ask your own dentist for a referral or copy of your treatment plan to access Dental Health Spa hygiene services.

Mouth Cancer screening - £10

Mouth Cancer kills one person every five hours in the UK and affects more people that testicular and ovarian cancer combined. Treatment for Mouth Cancer has a far higher rate of success if the cancer is detected early. In order to raise awareness of this cancer and to help you spot the signs earlier, we offer Mouth Cancer screening at just £10.

Dental treatments

Veneers - from £400

A veneer is a thin layer of porcelain made to fit over the front surface of a tooth, like a false fingernail fits over a nail. They can cover worn tooth enamel, uneven tooth alignment or spacing and chips or cracks.

They improve the colour, shape and can be used to improve the position of the tooth in your mouth creating a brighter, whiter smile.

^top

Crowns - from £450

A crown is like a jacket that encases a tooth and they can be made in a number of materials dependant on the strength required, and the look wanted. They are suggested when a tooth is broken or a large filling needs replacing. A crown can also be used to improve the appearance of a large discoloured filling. The crown preparation is sent to a laboratory where the skill of the technician is paramount in creating a tooth in one of three materials.

The main choices of materials are:

	Porcelain-fused-to-white gold
	All-ceramic (all-porcelain)
	Gold

^top

Inlays - from £400

Inlays replace fillings within the biting surface of a tooth. These are made in conjunction with a laboratory and your dentist. They are specially made out of porcelain or gold and fit like a jigsaw piece into the shape of the filling.

^top

Bridges - from £450 per unit

Bridges are used to fill the gaps of missing teeth and are only possible if the tooth is strong enough and has good enough bone support. Bridges are made in the laboratory following preparation work done by your dentist in the surgery. They are usually made out of porcelain bonded onto precious metal.

^top

Root canal therapy - from £250

RCT cleans and disinfects the canal of the tooth from the inside. The canals are then filled to prevent the infection from recurring. Alternatives to RCT is extraction.

Signs that you might need a RCT:

	Minimal to severe pain
	Tooth discolouration
	Swelling and irritation in the surrounding gum tissue
	Signs of infection visible on a x-ray

^top

Composite Fillings - from £50

Tooth coloured, amalgam free restorations.

^top

Fissure Sealants - £40 per tooth

Fissure sealants are plastic coats that are applied to the biting surface of your back teeth, like a nail varnish that coats the surfaces and protects them from bacteria and decay. They are normally applied to children's teeth when their first molars come through at the age of six but can be applied to adult teeth as well.

Custom-made Sport Guards - from £80

X-rays - from £5

Digital x-rays.

Periodontal treatments

Periodontal diseases

	No.1 cause of tooth loss in adults
	Affect more than half of people over age 30
	Often painless and may go undetected
	May be genetic and inherited

Your mouth is the gateway to your body.

The mouth is a dark, moist environment of a constant warm temperature with a steady supply of carbohydrates - truly ideal bacteria growing conditions. There are from 200 - 300 different species of bacteria in the mouth. There is no other place in or on the male or female body that houses this diversity of bacteria.

Bacteria associated with periodontal diseases can travel into the bloodstream and may result in other adverse health effects. Studies have found that bacteria in the mouth may account for big effects on general health conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, stress and low birth weight. There is an ever increasing body of evidence on the mouth- body connection.

Consultation with Periodontist - £190

A complete and in depth medical and dental health history is taken. A thorough examination to measure for bone loss, loose teeth, bite, oral cancer screening, TMJ and other signs of periodontal disease is carried out.

Periodontal x-rays may be taken in order to see disease not otherwise visible. If your referring dentist has taken x-rays, you may request that they be forwarded to our consultant.

Full Mouth Disinfection

	1st Appointment (30 minutes) - £55 Full mouth assessment with hygienist, to establish severity of disease. Measurements are taken at six points around each tooth. This will give an indication as to the level of bone that has been lost and provide base level scores to refer back to. Emphasis at this appointment will be on the part you play in helping to treat the disease. It is very important that the bacterial load in your mouth is reduced. The plaque in your mouth contains bacteria which cause gum disease. A tailored oral health regime, the right products for your mouth will be provided to get you started in preparation for the treatment phase.

	2nd Appointment/ 3rd Appointment - from £140 As close together as possible, ideally within 24 hrs Each appointment will last 60 to 90 minutes and will depend on the number of teeth to be treated and as to whether local anesthetic is used. At each appointment the gums are flushed with an antibacterial mouthwash (chlorhexdine). A bottle will be given for home use twice daily for 30 seconds at home.

	4th/5th Appointments if needed - £45 During the healing phase over the next month you will be seen twice if necessary for two 15 minute appointments to review cleaning and an air polish to remove any staining that might have formed due to mouthwash.

	6th Appointment - £85 Reassess pocket chart and full mouth clean with disinfection and air polish, refer to specialist periodontist if necessary.
