Treatments

Kemp Dental Health is focussed on providing high-quality, routine dental treatment to the whole family.

We are absolutely committed to modern, truly preventive dentistry. Often simple adjustments to the diet and cleaning techniques can tip the balance in favour of improved oral vitality without the need for traditional intervention.

Should intervention be required Kemp Dental Health offers a wide range of dental treatments, including all the advanced treatments you would expect from a leading practice.

Prevention

We believe that you can keep your own healthy teeth for your entire lifetime. Prevention is always far more rewarding and less costly than treatment.

Our modern, health-promoting approach means:

• Fewer fillings
• Less dental decay
• Less likelihood of toothache
• More attractive teeth
• Reduced costs
• Maintaining your own teeth for life.

We provide a bespoke programme of preventive dental care, unique to you. This can include saliva testing and plaque analysis to assess your present susceptibility to dental disease, from which we can provide an at-home plan to reduce and eliminate future dental disease.

Hygiene service

As a practice dedicated to prevention, we have a specially equipped dental hygiene room utilising the latest intra-oral cameras for patient education and motivation. A highly qualified dental therapist will work closely with Dr Kemp. We stock a range of advanced oral hygiene products for your convenience.

White fillings

At Kemp Dental Health white fillings are predominantly used to restore teeth. If another material would offer greater durability in a particular situation this would be discussed with you beforehand.

Tooth whitening

Professional bleaching is the most common form of tooth whitening. Your dentist will apply the whitening product to your teeth using a specially made tray which fits into your mouth like a gum-shield.

The ‘active ingredient’ in the product is usually hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide. As the active ingredient is broken down oxygen gets into the enamel on the teeth and the tooth colour is made lighter.

Restorative dentistry

Kemp Dental Health offers a wide range of restorative treatments including crowns, bridges and veneers. We have long-standing relationships with several award-winning technicians.

Crowns

When a tooth is badly broken or heavily filled you may wish the dentist to crown or ‘cap’ it to restore its appearance and strength.

Bridges

A bridge provides a fixed solution for a missing tooth.

Veneers

Veneers are a way of treating discoloured or unsightly teeth, closing gaps between front teeth or repairing chips and cracks.

Implants

Dental implants offer a permanent solution for your missing teeth and are essentially a substitute for a natural root. Once placed, an implant can provide the foundation for long-term support of crowns, bridges or dentures

Mouth cancer screening

Cancer can occur in any part of the mouth including the tongue and lips. Mouth cancers have a higher proportion of deaths per number of cases than breast cancer, cervical cancer or skin melanoma. The mortality rate is just over 50%, despite treatment, with about 1,700 deaths per year in the UK. This is principally due to late detection.

Visit your dentist at once if you notice any abnormal changes in your mouth. Regular dental check-ups allow early detection of potential problems.
