Our Services


Your examination will include the following:

• We will assess your risk from oral cancer, taking into consideration smoking and alcohol consumption. We will examine the soft tissues of your mouth for any other changes in appearance.
• We will check your jaws and jaw muscles to ensure that your jaw is working correctly.
• We will assess the state of your existing teeth and restorations that may be present.
• We will take measurements around the teeth and gums to assess for any gum disease.
• We will assess your overall smile and advise you how we can improve it if you so wish.
• X-rays will be taken to check underneath existing fillings or crowns and also for any signs of decay.

More teeth are lost through gum disease than tooth decay. We cause our own dental disease due to a lack of knowledge and understanding. Westleigh Dental will give you the tools to help you to maintain and sustain healthy teeth and gums for life.

Preventative dentistry is the key to good dental health care. Early diagnosis and prompt help will avoid complex and potentially expensive treatment later on. We will show you how to prevent tooth decay and gum disease by helping you to care for your teeth as much as you can. Through regular dental health assessment, advice and maintenance we will work with you to achieve dental health for life.
