Streatham Vale Dental Practice

At your first visit, the reception staff will ask you to complete a medical history questionnaire and other relevant paper work to get ready for your appointment. This ensures that the dentist is fully aware of any pre-existing conditions, which may affect their assessments and possible treatments.

At Streatham Vale Dental Practice, our dental team focuses on preventive dentistry to help you to achieve and maintain healthy teeth and gums for life. We want you to be confident that your breath is fresh and your smile looks its best. When you visit us for a dental check-up, it gives us the chance to spot any potential problems at an early stage, so we can treat them quickly, often saving you time and expense.

Root canal treatment (also called Endodontics) is needed when the pulp inside your tooth becomes infected through tooth decay or damaged by an injury to your mouth. This infection may spread through the root canal system, which could eventually lead to an abscess, causing a great deal of discomfort.

There is a solution to having straighter teeth without having to wear metal braces. Known as invisible orthodontics, this type of treatment offers you the choice of wearing a clear and sometimes removable appliance while straightening and aligning your teeth. This is often a favourable option for adults who have professional careers and don't feel comfortable wearing unsightly 'train track' braces for months on end.

A crown is a type of dental restoration used to fix teeth that have been broken, weakened by decay or have a very large filling. The crown fits over the remaining part of a prepared tooth, making it strong and giving it the shape of a natural tooth. It will also be tooth coloured, giving the restoration a more natural appearance so it fits in with the rest of your teeth.
