SPECIALIST DENTISTRY AND COMPLEX TREATMENTS
Whilst most patients who will attend Adams House Dental Practice simply need general dental care, it is always good to know that expert care is on hand when more advanced treatment is necessary.
Endodontics with Dr Hamed Saraffi
Endodontics, also known as root canal treatment, is needed when the blood or nerve supply of the tooth (called the ‘pulp') is infected through decay or injury. In some cases the anatomy of the teeth is very complex; or when in these cases previous treatment has failed you would be referred to our Endodontic specialist Dr Hamed Saraffi for treatment.
Implants with Dr Dairmuid O’Cronin
A dental implant is an artificial substitute for the root portion of a natural tooth and is anchored into a socket to support a crown. The goal is to achieve a close contact between the implant and the bone tissue so they can “fuse” together, creating stable support for the new tooth.
Oral Surgery with Dr Roula Alyahya
Your general dentist typically refers a patient to an oral surgeon for conditions that require attention beyond the scope of general dentistry. This could include a tooth with complex root morphology or an impacted wisdom tooth.
Periodontics with Dr Ennata Adeleye
With time, plaque can spread and grow below the gum line, along the roots of the teeth. If there is more plaque than your body’s immune system can cope with, the infection continues to spread. A space, known as a ‘pocket’, develops between the gum and the tooth, as the socket bone is gradually eroded away. As the disease progresses, the pockets deepen and more gum tissue and bone are destroyed. Often, this destructive process has very few symptoms. However, if untreated, the teeth can become loose and may have to be removed.
