Comprehensive Dental Services at Axminster Dental

At Axminster Dental, we offer a wide range of dental services to cater to all your oral health needs. Whether you’re seeking routine check-ups or specialized treatments, our team of experienced professionals is here to help.

Preventive Dentistry

Preventive dentistry is the cornerstone of maintaining healthy teeth and gums. Our preventive services are designed to catch problems early and prevent them from becoming serious issues.

Regular Dental Check-Ups

Regular check-ups are essential for keeping your teeth and gums healthy. During these visits, our dentists will thoroughly examine your mouth, identify any potential problems, and provide recommendations for maintaining optimal oral health.

Professional Teeth Cleanings

Professional cleanings are crucial for removing plaque and tartar that regular brushing and flossing can’t eliminate. Our hygienists use specialized tools to clean your teeth and gums, reducing your risk of cavities and gum disease.

Fluoride Treatments and Dental Sealants

Fluoride treatments and dental sealants are effective in preventing tooth decay, especially in children. Fluoride strengthens tooth enamel, while sealants provide a protective barrier on the chewing surfaces of molars.

Restorative Dentistry

Restorative dentistry focuses on repairing and restoring damaged or missing teeth. Our goal is to bring back your natural smile and improve your overall oral health.

Dental Fillings

When cavities occur, dental fillings are necessary to restore the tooth’s structure. We use high-quality materials to ensure your fillings are durable and blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.

Crowns and Bridges

Crowns and bridges are used to restore damaged or missing teeth. Crowns cover damaged teeth to protect and strengthen them, while bridges fill the gaps left by missing teeth, preventing misalignment and bite issues.

Dental Implants

Dental implants are a permanent solution for missing teeth. They provide a strong foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel, and function like natural teeth.

Cosmetic Dentistry

Cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving the appearance of your smile. Our cosmetic treatments are designed to enhance your confidence and ensure your smile is as beautiful as it is healthy.

Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening is a popular cosmetic procedure that can dramatically improve the appearance of your smile. We offer professional whitening treatments that are safe and effective, providing long-lasting results.

Veneers

Veneers are thin, custom-made shells that cover the front surface of your teeth. They are ideal for correcting imperfections such as discoloration, chips, and gaps, giving you a flawless smile.

Invisalign

Invisalign is a modern alternative to traditional braces. These clear aligners are virtually invisible and can straighten your teeth without the need for metal brackets and wires.

PEDIATRIC DENTISTRY

We understand the unique needs of our younger patients. Our pediatric dentistry services are tailored to ensure children have a positive experience at the dentist and develop healthy oral habits.

Child-Friendly Environment

Creating a welcoming and comfortable environment for children is essential. Our dental office is designed to be child-friendly, with amenities that help reduce anxiety and make visits enjoyable.

Education and Prevention

Educating children about proper oral hygiene and preventive care is crucial. We take the time to teach kids how to brush and floss correctly and provide tips for maintaining healthy teeth.

Early Orthodontic Evaluations

Early orthodontic evaluations can help identify potential alignment issues before they become severe. We monitor children’s dental development and recommend appropriate treatments when necessary.

Orthodontics

Orthodontic treatment can correct misaligned teeth and jaws, improving both function and appearance. We offer a range of orthodontic options to suit your needs.

Traditional Braces

Traditional braces are a reliable method for correcting various orthodontic issues. They are highly effective and suitable for patients of all ages.

Clear Aligners

Clear aligners, such as Invisalign, are a popular choice for those who want a discreet way to straighten their teeth. They are removable and comfortable, making them a convenient option.

Retainers

After completing orthodontic treatment, retainers are essential to maintain the results. We provide custom-made retainers to ensure your teeth stay in their new positions.

Periodontal Care

Periodontal care focuses on the health of your gums. Healthy gums are the foundation of a healthy smile, and our periodontal services are designed to treat and prevent gum disease.

Scaling and Root Planing

Scaling and root planing are deep cleaning procedures that remove plaque and tartar from below the gum line. These treatments are essential for managing gum disease and preventing its progression.

Gum Grafting

Gum grafting is a surgical procedure used to treat receding gums. It helps restore the gum line and protect the roots of your teeth from exposure.

Periodontal Maintenance

Regular periodontal maintenance is crucial for patients with a history of gum disease. These appointments help keep your gums healthy and prevent the recurrence of the disease.

Endodontics

Endodontic treatment, commonly known as root canal therapy, is necessary when the pulp inside your tooth becomes infected or damaged. This treatment can save your tooth and relieve pain.

Root Canal Therapy

Root canal therapy involves removing the infected or damaged pulp, cleaning the inside of the tooth, and sealing it to prevent further infection. This procedure can save a tooth that would otherwise need to be extracted.

Endodontic Retreatment

In some cases, a tooth that has undergone root canal therapy may become reinfected. Endodontic retreatment can address this issue and restore the tooth’s health.

Apicoectomy

An apicoectomy is a surgical procedure used to treat persistent infections at the tip of the tooth root. It involves removing the tip of the root and sealing the canal to prevent further infection.

Oral Surgery

Oral surgery encompasses a range of procedures to address complex dental issues. Our experienced oral surgeons are skilled in performing various surgical treatments.

Tooth Extractions

Tooth extractions are necessary when a tooth is severely damaged or infected and cannot be saved. We perform extractions with care to ensure your comfort and safety.

Wisdom Teeth Removal

Wisdom teeth can cause various problems, including pain, infection, and crowding. We offer wisdom teeth removal to prevent these issues and maintain your oral health.

Dental Bone Grafts

Dental bone grafts are used to restore bone volume in areas where it has been lost. This procedure is often necessary before placing dental implants.

EMERGENCY DENTAL CARE

Dental emergencies can happen at any time, and prompt treatment is crucial. We offer emergency dental care to address urgent issues and alleviate pain.

Common Dental Emergencies

Common dental emergencies include toothaches, broken teeth, knocked-out teeth, and abscesses. Our team is equipped to handle these situations and provide immediate relief.

Immediate Care and Pain Relief

In a dental emergency, our priority is to relieve your pain and address the issue at hand. We offer same-day appointments to ensure you get the care you need when you need it.

Follow-Up Treatments

After addressing the immediate concern, we provide follow-up treatments to restore your oral health. This may include restorative procedures, additional cleanings, or further diagnostics.
