General Dental Treatments

At Tara Martin Dental Care, we offer a full range of general dental treatments to keep your smile healthy, functional, and beautiful. Whether you need routine care or treatment for a specific dental issue, our experienced team is here to provide gentle, professional care tailored to your needs.

New Patient Consultation

We love meeting new patients! Your first visit gives us the chance to get to know you and your smile. During your consultation, we’ll carry out a full examination of your teeth, gums, and jaw, discuss any concerns or goals you may have, and create a personalised treatment plan if needed. It’s a relaxed, no-pressure way to start your journey with us.

Routine Check-Ups

Regular check-ups are key to maintaining good oral health. These visits allow us to monitor your teeth and gums, catch any issues early - like decay or gum disease - and offer advice to help you maintain a healthy smile. We usually recommend a check-up every 6 months, but this may vary depending on your individual needs.

Dental Hygiene Appointments

Healthy gums are the foundation of a healthy smile. Our hygienists provide professional cleanings to remove plaque, tartar, and surface stains, leaving your teeth feeling fresh and smooth. We also offer tailored advice on brushing, flossing, and diet to help you maintain excellent oral hygiene between visits.

Emergency Appointments

Dental pain or trauma can be distressing, and we understand the urgency. We offer same-day emergency appointments whenever possible for issues like toothache, infections, swelling, broken teeth, or lost fillings. Our goal is to get you out of pain and on the road to recovery quickly and comfortably.

Tooth-Coloured Fillings

If a tooth has been damaged by decay or wear, we can restore it using composite (tooth-coloured) fillings. These modern fillings are durable, blend in naturally with your teeth, and require less removal of healthy tooth structure than traditional metal fillings. They’re a simple but effective way to bring strength and structure back to your smile.

Crowns & Bridges

When a tooth is badly broken, heavily filled, or weakened, a crown (a custom-made cap) can restore its shape, strength, and appearance. If you’re missing one or more teeth, a bridge can fill the gap by anchoring a false tooth to the surrounding teeth. Both are designed to look and feel natural, helping you chew, speak, and smile with confidence.

Tooth Extractions

While we always aim to save teeth where possible, sometimes an extraction is the best option—for example, in cases of severe decay, infection, or overcrowding. We ensure the process is as smooth and comfortable as possible, with plenty of aftercare advice to support your healing.

Surgical Extractions (Including Wisdom Teeth)

Some teeth, especially wisdom teeth, may be impacted or require a more complex removal. In these cases, we offer surgical extractions in a safe and controlled setting. Our team takes great care to ensure you're comfortable and fully informed before, during, and after the procedure.

Dentures

Dentures are a reliable and affordable way to replace missing teeth. We offer both full and partial dentures, custom-made to fit your mouth securely and comfortably. Our modern dentures are more natural-looking and easier to wear than ever, helping you eat, speak, and smile with confidence.

Root Canal Treatment

If the nerve of a tooth becomes infected or inflamed (often due to deep decay or trauma), root canal treatment can save it from needing to be removed. This procedure involves removing the infected tissue, cleaning the inside of the tooth, and sealing it to prevent further issues. With modern techniques and gentle care, root canals are no longer the painful experience they’re often thought to be.
