Removal of tartar and soft deposits from the teeth, with ultrasound and hand instruments. Done in one visit; the gums can be tender for a few days afterwards.

Cleaning the space that forms when the gum separates from the tooth. The price is per such pocket, so the total depends on how many there are.

Placing medication directly on the site being treated, as part of gum treatment. Usually part of a series of visits rather than a procedure on its own.

Medication left in the tooth between two visits, until treatment is finished. It does not replace a filling but prepares the tooth for one.

A white filling replacing one or two surfaces of a tooth after decay has been removed. The shade is chosen to match the neighbouring teeth.

The same white filling where three surfaces of the tooth are affected. It takes more material and more time than a smaller one.

Replacing a larger part of the tooth with the same white material, or a thin layer over the front of the tooth. Done at the practice in one visit, without a laboratory.

A metal post that goes into the root when the crown of the tooth is lost, so the build-up has something to stand on.

A post of glass fibre, close to the colour of a tooth. Chosen when the tooth is built up with white material.

A small post placed in the hard tissue of the tooth, beside the pulp chamber, to give a large filling better support.

Root canal treatment in a single-rooted tooth: removing the affected tissue, cleaning the canal and filling it.

The same treatment in a tooth with two canals. It takes longer because each canal is worked on separately.

Treatment in a tooth with three or more canals, most often a molar. It often takes several visits.

Medication left in the canal between two visits, until treatment is complete.

Re-treatment of a tooth treated before: the old material is removed from the canal and the canal is prepared again. The price is per canal.

Fluoride applied as a gel, in a tray held for a few minutes. Nothing to eat or drink for half an hour afterwards.

Fluoride solution painted onto the teeth. It takes less time than the gel.

Filling the grooves on the biting surface of a tooth with a protective material, so food and deposits do not collect in them. The price is per tooth.

Removal of a baby tooth that cannot be saved or is in the way of the permanent tooth.

A filling of material that releases fluoride and bonds to the tooth; suited to baby teeth.

Opening the tooth to release pressure when infection has collected inside it.

Treatment of conditions of the gums, tongue and lining of the mouth in children.

Whitening at the practice, in one visit. It works on your own tooth tissue; it does not change the colour of fillings, crowns or veneers.

Trays are made from an impression of your teeth, and the gel is applied at home as instructed, over several days.

Whitening a tooth whose nerve has been removed and which has darkened as a result. The price is per tooth.

A clear splint made from an impression, worn at night for clenching and grinding.

Clear aligners worn to a plan, moving the teeth gradually. The price is per aligner; how many are needed is set out in the treatment plan.

Local anaesthetic for the area being worked on. It is given before the procedure and wears off after a limited time.

Removal of a tooth, or of a remaining root, that cannot be saved.

An extraction where the tooth has to be freed or the root divided, so it takes longer and requires more preparation.

Removal of a tooth that has not erupted or is still covered by bone and gum; done surgically.

Removal of the root tip and the lesion around it, when treatment through the canal is not enough.

Irrigation and dressing of the socket after an extraction, when healing has become difficult.

Removal of excess gum around a tooth, for treatment or in preparation for prosthetic work. The price is per tooth.

Material placed where bone is missing, to make up the deficit.

A build-up cast in the laboratory from an impression of the canal, as support for a crown on a tooth without one.

A crown with a metal core and ceramic over it. It covers the whole tooth and restores its shape.

The same crown, but resting on an implant rather than on your own tooth.

A crown on an implant fixed with a screw, so it can be removed and replaced if needed.

A crown with no metal core; light passes through it much as it does through a tooth.

A crown of zirconium oxide, with no metal. Used on both front and back teeth.

A thin shell bonded to the front of the tooth, changing its shape and colour.

A crown with no metal core, resting on an implant.

A denture replacing all the teeth in one jaw.

A denture replacing some of the teeth and resting on those that remain.

A denture with a metal base. It is thinner and firmer than an acrylic one, so it covers less of the palate.

A cast denture attached to the remaining teeth by hidden connectors instead of clasps.

A denture of flexible material, with no metal clasps.

Repair of a denture that has cracked or broken.

Adapting the inner surface of a denture to the jaw, which changes over time, so the denture seats again.

Adding a tooth or a clasp to an existing denture.

Removing a crown or a bridge from the tooth, when the tooth underneath needs to be reached.

A crown that protects a prepared tooth until the permanent one is made.

Re-fitting a crown that has come off, where the crown itself is sound and the tooth beneath it healthy.

A digital scan of the teeth and jaws, as the basis for a treatment plan or for making aligners.
