Oral Surgery and Extractions

Tooth extractions

 

There are times when teeth need to be removed and many extractions are straightforward and uncomplicated. We use local anaesthetic to make the extraction process as comfortable as possible, and for patients who are nervous, sedation is available.

  • Surgical and complex extractions
  • Extraction of impacted teeth, including wisdom teeth
  • Coronectomy of high-risk wisdom teeth

  • Exposure of impacted teeth
  • Placement of temporary anchorage devices (TADs)

Root Canal treatment

At Morris Dental Care, we always strive to save your tooth rather than remove it, because your own tooth will always be better than any replacement.

Root canal therapy aims to save a tooth when the pulp inside is inflamed or infected. This involves removing the affected pulp, cleaning the nerve canals with an antibacterial preparation, and providing immediate, significant pain relief. We use the latest materials and equipment to maximize the chances of treatment success

 

Complex root canal treatment

If the anatomy of your tooth is complex or you need a replacement root filling, your dentist may recommend seeing Alex, who brings expertise in root canal treatment to our practice.

 

Alex excels in managing difficult anatomy and previously root-treated teeth. He can re-perform root canals or, when necessary, carry out an apicectomy to remove the root end and any surrounding inflammation.

Gum disease (periodontitis)

Gum disease (gingivitis, periodontal disease) is the sixth most common disease in the world. It is a common bacterial infection of the gums and the supporting tissues. If left untreated, gum disease will develop from inflammation of the gums (gingivitis) and can progress to advanced periodontitis which could lead to tooth loss.

 

Gum disease can affect other areas of the body leading to other health issues

I was recommended to Morris Dental Care by a friend and I'm so glad I made that appointment to consult Lizzie and her team about my gum disease. They clearly know what they are doing and they understood my issues. I even found the whole process enjoyable thanks to their warm professionalism. No issues. No stress. It was just fine.

Taking good care of your gums is essential for maintaining both oral and general health with the aim of preventing serious health issues in the near future.

 

At Morris Dental Care we work as a team and collaborate with our patients to keep their gums healthy and their smile shining brightly.

 

The signs of gum disease

How to spot the different stages of gum disease (periodontitis)

 

Bleeding gums

When gums are inflamed, they might bleed when you brush or floss. This is often the first sign of gum disease, often starting with gingivitis (inflamed gums) caused by plaque buildup, and can lead to more serious conditions if left untreated.

 

Bad breath

The bacteria that accumulate in the pockets formed by gum disease can produce unpleasant smelling gases, resulting in persistent bad breath, also known as halitosis.

 

Loose or drifting teeth

As gum disease progresses, it can destroy the bone and tissue supporting the teeth, causing them to become loose or shift out of alignment. This may result in changes to the bite and gaps between teeth.

 

Shrinking (receding) gums

Advanced gum disease can lead to gum recession, where the gums pull away from the teeth, exposing the roots. This can make teeth appear longer and contribute to tooth sensitivity.

 

The early stages of gum disease may present as gingivitis. This disease affects the gums causing inflammation and bleeding. If left untreated it is possible that periodontitis may occur which is a much more serious disease and affects the other supporting structures of the teeth including the bone. In the advanced stages periodontitis will result in loose teeth and eventual tooth loss.

Treatment for gum disease - a step-by-step outline of how we treat gum disease:

 

Detailed assessment and a Tailored Treatment Plan

We begin by conducting a thorough assessment of your gum health, taking detailed measurements and X-rays.

 

Based on our findings, we create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.

Assistance with your new daily Oral Hygiene routine

We'll provide guidance and support tailored to your specific needs to ensure you know exactly how to care for your gums at home every day.

Active Treatment

 

Meticulous cleaning is performed both above and below the gum line to remove plaque and allow the gums to heal.

 

Typically carried out under local anaesthesia, the number of appointments needed varies depending on the severity of the disease.

Reassessment

 

We repeat measurements taken during the initial assessment to evaluate treatment effectiveness. While treatment is effective for most, it is common for some areas to require retreatment.

Maintenance or Advanced Treatment

 

Most patients enter the maintenance phase by attending regular appointments to sustain gum health. Consistent visits are key to maintaining improvements and preventing recurrence.

 

If non-surgical treatments prove insufficient, your dentist may refer you to Lizzie (Morris). With extensive experience in treating gum disease and a Diploma in Clinical Periodontology, Lizzie will explore advanced treatment options with you. This may include surgical or regenerative procedures designed to restore lost support for your teeth.

Dental Implants

A dental implant is a titanium post which is inserted into the bone to replace a missing tooth root. Once the post is in place, your dentist will fit a crown, a bridge or a denture. This procedure means that the function and appearance of the lost tooth will be restored.

What to expect when you have an implant treatment

 

Georgia Barron BDS, MFDS (Glas), PG Cert (Med Ed), PG Dip (Dental Implantology)
Morris Dental Care, Oldham.

Georgia Barron

Firstly there will be an initial consultation with our implantologist Georgia. During your consultation, she will talk to you about what you want to achieve during treatment, any relevant medical history and she will provide an estimated cost. You’ll also be able to ask Georgia any questions you may have about implant treatment.

 

 

Treatment planning

 

A CT scan and an intraoral scan will be taken, which is digitally knitted together to create an accurate 3D representation of your mouth. This allows Georgia to accurately plan optimal implant placement.

Placing your implant

 

The dental implant procedure is performed under local anaesthetic, so it is pain-free. But if you do feel nervous, we are able to offer sedation to put your mind at ease.

 

Once the implant is fitted, the area will need time to heal, during which time we can fit you with some temporary teeth.

Fitting your replacement teeth

 

Once the implant has been carefully placed, it’s normal to wait between four to eight months for the implant to fully integrate with your jawbone.

 

Once it’s healed, your permanent replacement tooth or teeth can be fitted. This includes the abutment - a small post attached to the top of the implant, which in turn supports the false tooth. The replacement tooth is CAD CAM designed and made by our highly skilled technicians to precisely mimic the size, shape and colour of the teeth they are replacing.

 

 

Aftercare

 

During and after the treatment, we’ll give you all the aftercare advice you need to help you look after your implants. It’s important to follow the aftercare instructions carefully to ensure that your implants last for many years.

Dentures

Let us brighten your smile

 

Our premium cosmetic dentures are meticulously crafted for the ultimate fit, comfort, and lifelike appearance, allowing you to smile confidently and enjoy your favourite foods without discomfort.

 

Dean, our Clinical Dental Technician, brings 27 years of experience in crafting gold-standard dentures. Specializing in high-end cases, Dean has worked alongside top prosthodontists and dentists worldwide, offering innovative and highly customized solutions for both edentulous (toothless) and partially dentate (with teeth) patients. His expertise in digital workflows and cutting-edge denture technology ensures precise, effective, and long-lasting results.

 

Complete dentures

 

Complete dentures are designed for those who have lost all of their natural teeth, offering a full set of prosthetic teeth for both the upper and lower jaws. They are custom-made to fit comfortably and securely, helping restore function, aesthetics, and confidence.

 

Partial dentures

 

If you still have some natural teeth, partial dentures may be a good option to fill in the gaps left by missing teeth. Partial dentures often feature a metal base, which offers increased strength, a thinner and lighter design, and enhanced comfort compared to acrylic bases, ensuring wearability throughout the day.

Implant retained dentures

 

For an extra level of security and comfort, our implant-retained dentures offer enhanced stability and chewing efficiency. Implant-retained dentures are dentures that are securely attached to dental implants (small titanium posts) placed in your jaw, providing enhanced stability and chewing efficiency over traditional dentures that rest on your gums.

Sedation

Dental sedation involves giving you medicine to help you relax and prevent pain during dental treatment.

 

It doesn’t put you to sleep like a general anaesthetic; you’re still conscious and able to talk with your dentist. Instead, it puts you into a deeply relaxed state, where you won’t feel any discomfort or pain.

 

If you have dental anxiety or a phobia of dentists and it’s preventing you from getting treatment, whether that’s replacing a missing tooth, a hygienist clean, or having an extraction, dental sedation may help. Dental sedation may also be suitable if you have a strong gag reflex, require complex treatment, or have a low pain threshold and a topical local anaesthetic isn’t enough.

We offer two types of sedation:

 

Inhalation sedation

involves breathing in a mixed gas of oxygen and nitrous oxide through a face mask and offers a milder level of sedation. It is commonly used for children, but also suitable for adults.

 

IV sedation (intravenous)

involves injecting a sedative medication via a plastic tube, into a vein in your hand or arm and offers a deeper level of sedation, which is suitable for most adults.

 

If you have any questions about dental sedation please get in touch with us:
