General Treatment
What are the general dentistry treatments available at Market Rasen, Lincolnshire?
Our most common general dentistry treatments in Market Rasen include:
Routine dental check-up
A routine dental examination is at the heart of everything we do. It gives us vital information about you and your teeth and will form the basis of your treatment plan.
A dental check-up will involve a detailed inspection of your mouth, teeth and gums. We will also use our CBCT (Cone Beam CT) scan to provide detailed pictures of your teeth, gums and jaw which can give us a better understanding of your oral health. All of this helps to quickly identify any potential issues such as cavities, gum disease, problems with your jaw or jawbone as well as allowing us to identify more serious problems such as oral cancer.
Restorative dental treatment
During your routine dental check-up, we may notice problems with your oral health that need to be addressed or fixed. Restorative treatments can include:
White fillings
If you have a cavity in your tooth, it will need to be filled with a filling or risk becoming more severely decayed or causing an infection. At Wolds Dental Studio we use white fillings as these blend in with the colour of the rest of your teeth, making them inconspicuous when you smile or open your mouth. Most white fillings can be treated on the same day as your dental-check up and it is a quick and painless procedure.
Dental crowns
If you have a damaged or fractured tooth, you may need a crown fitted to protect it from further damage or decay. A crown is designed to sit over the top of your damaged tooth to protect it. You may be fitted with a temporary crown whilst your dentist custom-makes your permanent crown.
Tooth extraction
Usually, a tooth will only be extracted as a last resort, for example if a tooth has become completely decayed or damaged and is perhaps affecting the health of adjacent teeth. Sometimes though, a tooth might be extracted as part of a planned procedure such as dental implants or orthodontics. The team at Wolds Dental Studio will extract your tooth quickly and gently using a local anaesthetic to numb the area of your mouth so that you don’t feel anything.
Root canal
If the inside of your tooth becomes infected, you will need root canal treatment which removes the infection and restores the tooth. You may know that you need root canal treatment from experiencing pain, swelling or inflammation in the gums. Images taken from our CBCT (Cone Beam CT) scan will confirm if the infection is at the centre of your tooth and whether root canal is necessary.
Dental hygienist
Dental hygienists work with dentists to give you optimum oral health. Hygienists focus on preventing and treating gum disease which is the biggest reason for tooth loss.

Frequently Asked Questions about General Dentistry
What general dentistry treatments are available at Wolds Dental Studio in Lincolnshire?
Wolds Dental Studio offers a range of general dentistry treatments in Lincolnshire to help patients maintain healthy teeth and gums. These may include routine dental check-ups, hygiene appointments, white fillings, gum health assessments, and other preventative or restorative treatments designed to protect long-term oral health.
How often should I visit the dentist for a general dental check-up?
Most patients are advised to attend a general dental check-up every 6 to 12 months, depending on their oral health needs. Regular dental appointments help identify early signs of tooth decay, gum disease, and other problems before they become more serious. Your dentist will recommend the most suitable recall schedule for you.
Why are my gums bleeding when I brush my teeth?
Bleeding gums are often a sign of irritation or inflammation, which may be caused by plaque build-up around the teeth and gums. This can indicate early gum disease, such as gingivitis, and if left untreated may progress further. If your gums continue to bleed, it is important to book a dental appointment so your dentist can assess your gum health and recommend the right treatment.
What happens during a routine general dentistry appointment?
During a routine general dentistry appointment, the dentist will examine your teeth, gums, and mouth to look for signs of decay, gum disease, or other oral health concerns. They may also discuss any symptoms you have noticed, review your dental history, and recommend any necessary treatment or preventative advice to help maintain your oral health.
