What general dentistry treatments are available at J&R Dental in Ruislip?

At J&R Dental in Ruislip, our most common general dentistry treatments include:

Regular dental check-up

A routine dental check-up is our most popular treatment. These appointments help us to understand your oral health and whether there are any issues with your teeth and gums that we need to address.

At your first dental check-up in Ruislip, we will thoroughly examine your teeth and use images from x-rays and our CBCT (Cone Beam CT) scanner to get a detailed understanding of your teeth, gums and jawbones. From this, we can quickly identify any minor or major issues including cavities, gum disease, any areas of weaknesses and oral cancer.

White Fillings

During your routine dental examination, we may spot cavities in your teeth. Cavities are holes in the teeth caused by tooth decay and need to be treated quickly or risk becoming painful or infected. The team at J&R Dental in Ruislip use white fillings to fix cavities as these are discreet and give greater protection to your tooth.

Dental Crowns

If you have a damaged tooth perhaps through decay or injury, a dental crown will sit over the top of your tooth to protect it from further harm and to make your tooth appear more aesthetically pleasing. You will normally need two appointments to fit a dental crown.

Root Canal Treatment

Root canal treatment is needed when the nerve of the tooth is infected. A series of appointments and treatments are needed to clean the roots of the tooth, eradicate the infection and prevent further attacks.

Frequently Asked Questions about replacing missing teeth

How often do I need to see the dentist and hygienist?

At J&R Dental in Ruislip we recommend that you see a dentist and hygienist every 6 to 12 months. Your dentist and hygienist will recommend how often they want to see you, and this will be based upon the health of your teeth and gums and your lifestyle.

Is it better to use a manual or an electric toothbrush?

Research has proved that both types of toothbrushes are effective in removing plaque and keeping teeth clean as long as they are used in the correct manner. Our expert hygienists can show you how to best use both types of toothbrushes.

Should I use mouthwash?

Mouthwash is a good option to use, but it should not be used instead of brushing. Mouthwashes that contain fluoride will coat the teeth and help to prevent plaque from forming. Mouthwash also helps to kill off bacteria that causes bad breath.
