MJ Millington-Smith & Marsh Dental Care

read moreAt Marsh Dental Care we welcome all comments and complaints about the service we have provided. If for any reason our clients are unsatisfied with the service from Marsh Dental Care we suggest that they initially talk to the hygienist or dentist providing the treatment. If this does not resolve the issue or this direct approach is not felt appropriate, patients are encouraged to discuss matters with our complaints administrator, Sarah Dyson. When a patient complains to a member of our team we will listen and respond to their concerns in a caring and sensitive way.

Invisalign also allows you to view your own virtual treatment plan when you start, so you can see how your straight teeth will look when your treatment is complete. Removable, so you can eat and drink what you want while in treatment, plus brushing and flossing is no problem. Comfortable, because it has no metal brackets or wires to cause gum and mouth irritations during treatment.

If left untreated, gum disease can lead to discomfort, pain, infection and even tooth loss. What is gum disease? Gum disease describes swelling, soreness or infection of the tissues supporting the teeth. There are two main forms of gum disease: gingivitis and periodontal disease. What is gingivitis?

Our experienced dentists can apply veneers to give a life-like appearance with minimum tooth adjustment. A dental veneer is a facing on the front of your teeth, usually your top teeth, much like a false finger nail. Veneers are made out of porcelain and are used mainly for aesthetic reasons. Veneers make teeth look natural and healthy, and because they are very thin and are held in place by a special strong bond (rather like super-glue), very little preparation of the tooth is needed.

You may also choose a dental crown if you have discoloured fillings or have had root canal therapy which needs a crown to protect it. Dental crowns can also help to hold a bridge or denture firmly in place.

We can help to restore your smile and keep your mouth healthy with a dental bridge; the ideal alternative to dental implants or partial dentures. A bridge is usually used where there are fewer teeth to replace, or when the missing teeth are only on one side of the mouth. Bridges are usually made of a precious metal base to which porcelain is bonded for a more natural appearance. Having a dental bridge can also help to avoid future problems with tooth decay and gum disease.
