why it matters

Why regular dental care matters

Tooth decay and gum disease develop slowly and rarely cause pain in their early stages. By the time a tooth hurts, the problem has often reached the nerve, and the treatment is more involved and more costly than it would have been a few months earlier. Gum disease is the most common reason adults lose teeth, yet in its first stage it can be reversed with professional cleaning and good care at home.

General dentistry is how these problems are found early. A regular examination identifies small areas of decay, early gum changes and worn fillings while they are still simple to treat. At Coast Dental Health, a private dental practice in Portsmouth, we provide general dental treatments for the whole family and take the time to explain what we find.

is it right for you?

Your options for replacing teeth.

Dental Examinations

We check your teeth, gums and the soft tissues of your mouth, and take digital X-rays where they are needed. How often you attend depends on your own risk of dental disease, not a fixed schedule.

Hygiene Visits

Our hygienists and therapists remove plaque and hardened deposits that brushing cannot reach, and show you how to clean effectively between your teeth. You can book directly without seeing a dentist first, and you do not need to be registered with us.

Tooth-coloured fillings

Composite fillings repair teeth affected by decay, wear or minor damage. The material is matched to the shade of your tooth, so the repair restores strength without being noticeable.

Oral cancer screening

Every examination includes a check of your lips, tongue, cheeks and gums for unusual changes. Most are harmless, but anything found early is easier to investigate and treat.

Children's dental care

We monitor how your child’s teeth and jaws are developing and give advice on brushing and diet suited to their age. Positive early visits help children stay comfortable with dental care as they grow up.

*Not every option suits every patient. We will explain which are appropriate for you, and why.

We explain what we have found, your options and the costs before any treatment. Nothing goes ahead until you have agreed to it. To book a dental examination or hygiene visit in Portsmouth, call 023 9217 0201 or book online.

FAQS

Your questions, answered.

Do I need a check-up if my teeth feel fine?

Yes. Decay, gum disease and mouth cancer can all be present without causing pain. An examination finds them before you would notice them yourself.

How often should I have a dental examination?

It varies from person to person. Depending on the health of your teeth and gums, the interval can be anywhere from three months to two years. Your dentist will recommend what is right for you.

I am nervous about visiting the dentist. Can you help?

Yes. Many of our patients felt the same way before joining us. We allow time to talk through your concerns, explain each stage and work at a pace you are comfortable with.
