CARE FOR YOUR SMILE

Looking after your smile at Atrium Dental

If we look after our teeth, they can last a lifetime. At Atrium Dental we offer a range of general dentistry treatments for the whole family. We understand that there is no such thing as ‘basic’ dentistry. To maintain your oral health, we believe it is vital to attend regular check-ups and hygienist appointments.

To care for your smile, we are pleased to offer advanced treatments but equally, we place the highest importance on general dental care. General dentistry is orientated towards the prevention of dental problems and we always focus on oral health and dental hygiene as prevention is always better than trying to cure or repair problems.

Regular check-ups

At your dental examination (check-up) appointment, after asking after your concerns, your dentist will carry out a thorough examination. This will include your jaws, teeth, gums, surrounding areas and carry out a cancer screening.

The results of this examination will then be discussed thoroughly with you and if needed, treatment advice given on how to care for your smile. A written Treatment Plan is then created. We will ask you to review this and be available to answer any questions you may have.

X-rays & OPG

We use different types of dental X-rays to examine your teeth and mouth in detail. These include periapical X-rays, which show one tooth from root to crown, and bite-wing X-rays, which help spot decay between the back teeth.

Panoramic OPG X-rays
Our clinic also offers Orthopantomogram (OPG) X-rays. This is a special type of scan that takes a full view of your upper and lower jaw in one image. Unlike smaller X-rays, it gives a complete picture of your mouth.

Why OPG X-rays Are Useful
OPG X-rays are helpful for planning braces, as they show all your teeth at once—including any that haven’t come through yet. They can also check wisdom teeth and reveal possible jaw joint (TMJ) issues.

Advanced 3D CBCT Scanning
We also use a CBCT (Cone Beam CT) scanner to take 3D images of your mouth, jaw, and teeth. This scan is especially important for dental implants, as it shows the exact position and density of your bone. It gives us much more detail than regular X-rays.
