There can be a number of different reasons why dentures can feel or become loose. If you wear partial dentures and your existing teeth have moved position or become loose themselves, this could affect your dentures. When there are no teeth to attached a partial denture, a full denture relays on the shape and strength of the gums. Unfortunately gums can shrink and change their shape causing the denture to feel loose. If you are experiencing discomfort with your dentures, please contact ASR Dental and book an appointment to see our dentist.
Accidents can happen at anytime. If you have experienced a trauma and broken a tooth, or cracked or chipped a tooth whilst eating, please contact an ASR Dental clinic and book an emergency dental appointment as soon as possible.

With the right therapy and treatment by an experienced Endodontist, you should not experience too much discomfort. Before the root canal procedure, a local anaesthetic is used to eliminate any pain during treatment. The aim of root canal treatment is to remove the infection within the tooth which will then relieve your painful toothache. Success rates are generally very high but you may feel sensitivity and mild pain around the treated area for a few days after treatment. Our clinicians can help by prescribing the appropriate pain killers to help manage any post treatment discomfort.
Many people can experience an impacted wisdom teeth. These are the molars at the very back of the mouth which are usually the last teeth to grow through the gums. When they start to emerge they can sometimes get stuck behind an adjacent tooth preventing them from appearing as they normally should. This is usually caused by not having enough room to grow through or because or overcrowding. This can result in pain and possible damage to other teeth. As your wisdom teeth are at the very back of the mouth, they can also be hard to clean and are more susceptible to decay. To prevent future dental problems our dentist may recommend oral surgery to extract an impacted wisdom tooth.
Some patients develop dental problems that require a dedicated specialist to treat a particular concern. There are a number of advanced dental treatments which require the expertise of a specialist. For example, an implantologist can fit and replace a missing tooth with an dental implant, an periodontist will treat patients with severe gum disease and an orthodontist is trained to straighten misaligned teeth. At ASR Dental, we have dental specialists to cater for any advance dental concerns. Please contact us to day for more information.
Teeth can naturally discolour over time as many of us enjoy eating spicy foods, drinking wine or black tea and coffee. Some patients have discoloured teeth through genetics. Teeth can be brightened by regularly visiting the hygienist for a deep clean and polish. Alternatively for a white smile, you can opt for teeth whitening treatment which is a popular and safe cosmetic procedure as long as it treated by a professionally trained dentist with an approved product.
If your gums are bleeding, you should book an appointment to visit our hygienist as soon as possible. There could be underlying concerns that need to be investigated and treated as soon as possible. Bleeding gums could be the sign of gum disease (gingivitis) and if left untreated, it could result in the loss of a tooth. It can also be the cause of other symptoms such as poor oral hygiene which can lead to halitosis, a cracked or bad tooth decay, or an even more serious condition such as heart disease. Please contact your local ASR Dental practice and book an appointment without delay.
Not a lot of people are blessed with perfectly aligned teeth. There are many ways in which you can straighten teeth these days. For slightly crooked front teeth you may just require a dentist for Invisalign, quick straight teeth or six month smiles. If your teeth are overcrowded or require nearly all your teeth to be aligned, an orthodontist will be more suitable to achieve the best results. There lots of different kinds of braces available from almost invisible mouth guard type aligners, to tooth colour brackets and bands that are barely visible to the eye. Call ASR Dental for more information and to book a consultation.
Missing teeth can be replaced with a dental implant. This involves placing a permanent titanium screw into the jaw bone and then crafting a bespoke dental crown to fit on top. This is a strong and long lasting solution resulting in a completely natural look. The other alternatives are a dental bridge to cover the gap or a partial denture. Your local ASR Dentist will be able to assess your teeth and gums and then advise the best solution for your needs. Please book a consultation today.
The process can last several months. Your dentist will need to assess your teeth and gums first in order to determine whether a dental implant is suitable. If the treatment is likely to be successful, then a treatment plan will need to be created to outline the procedures and book the necessary timely appointments. The next step is to place the implant screw which can take many weeks or months to fuse with the bone. There are likely to be several appointment checks to monitor the healing process. During this time, your new dental crown will be crafted and shaped ready to be fitted permanently.
