read moreTeeth are held in the jaws by their roots. Your front teeth normally have one root, but teeth which are further back have more. At the core of each tooth is the root canal which contains a soft mass of tissue called the pulp. In a healthy tooth, it is the pulp which contains the living cells, nerves and a blood supply, which extend into the roots through the root canals. Tooth decay or injury can destroy this living pulp. Without root canal treatment, a tooth with a dead pulp would normally have to be taken out as they are more prone to infection and this can lead to abscesses and toothache.

read moreRemovable dentures are used to replace missing teeth. They are custom-made to match your mouth and are designed to look as natural as possible. They can be fitted immediately after teeth have been taken out and no one will know that you have had a tooth removed. If you have lost some teeth, dentures can improve the way you look, bite, chew and speak. They protect the teeth that are left from wear and tear and stop them from moving or tilting which would prevent your teeth biting together properly.

read moreA dental examination shows how healthy your mouth is. After your examination, we will discuss the results with you and plan the best way to deal with any problems. Regular, thorough examinations mean that we can spot problems and correct them before the treatment becomes complicated, helping you to look after your mouth and prevent future problems. As well as looking in your mouth, we may ask you some questions, the exact questions depending on what the dentist sees. Plaque is mostly made up of bacteria and is the soft, sticky substance that builds up on your teeth.

read moreThe team of cosmetic dentists at Allenton Dental in Derby are trained to place dental veneers to mask significant teeth defects like cracking and deep staining. You may have heard the term "Hollywood Smile" where veneers, amongst other techniques are used to create bright new smiles from teeth which were previously in very poor condition. A dental veneer can be considered to be similar to a false nail but much thinner and more precisely placed. Typically made from porcelain, the veneer is fitted to the forward facing part of the tooth and once firmly positioned functions as a natural tooth would.

read moreA bridge fixes a replacement tooth (or teeth) to your natural teeth on either side of a gap. Fixed bridges improve the way you look, bite, chew and speak. And as we match their colour to your own teeth, no-one will know that you have missing teeth. An alternative to a bridge is a removable partial denture. We will explain the differences to you and recommend the most suitable option for you. For example, we often suggest dentures when the supporting teeth may not be strong enough to support a bridge.
