General dentistry

A beautiful smile begins with excellent dental health, which is why general dental care is fundamental for everyone.

Dental check-ups

A dental check-up is the foundation of your dental care and where everything begins at Pennington Dental in our clinics in Stratford-upon-Avon and Kenilworth. We recommend having two dental check-ups every year as this allows our team to monitor your dental health and spot any problems in the early stages, before things become more serious.

Dental problems can cause pain, discomfort, and tooth loss in the worst cases, all of which we strive to avoid here at Pennington Dental!

Dental hygiene

Dental hygiene appointments go hand in hand with dental check-ups and our hygiene team works closely with the dentists to keep an eye on your dental and oral health.

Your hygienist will carry out a scale and polish in order to remove plaque and tartar build-up. They will then polish your teeth with a special tooth polish to remove superficial stains. Our techniques are gentle but thorough and you will find your appointment comfortable and painless, and leave with a clean, fresh feeling mouth!

Dentures

If you have missing teeth, we are pleased to offer NHS and private denture options in Stratford-upon-Avon and Kenilworth. We work closely with our trusted dental laboratory to provide our patients with beautiful, functional dentures that look good and feel great.

Dentures are removable false teeth that fit over your gums and act as a replacement to missing teeth. The dentures we provide you are beautiful and natural looking to give you back your smile, functional to allow you eat as normal, and comfortable for all-day wear.

We are pleased to offer our patients a variety of private and NHS denture treatment options so that you can choose the right denture for you.

Inlays and onlays

Sometimes, during a dental check-up, your dentist will recommend the need for an inlay or an onlay. This is required when we spot a dental cavity or damage on the back teeth that is too extensive for a regular dental filling.

An inlay is used when a repair is required in the centre of the tooth, or the flatter part. An onlay is used when the damage also affects the cusps of the tooth, or the raised parts, so this is a bigger restoration than an inlay.
