children’s dental care
Keeping your child’s teeth in tip top condition can be quite a challenge, but at Oh My Smile we are fully brushed up on the best ways to look after your child’s smile.
We have a super friendly talented team providing high quality dental care for children. For us it’s about providing a positive and fun experience, so your child grows up with no dental phobias and a great healthy smile.
Oral health is an integral part of any child’s overall health. Getting the foundations right could be greatly beneficial in their ability to learn, thrive and develop from an early age by incorporating regular trips to the dentist. Here, at Oh My Smile we place great emphasis on prevention and education to support you and your child.
There’s really no need for your child to be scared visiting Oh My Smile, our clinicians are naturally gifted with children and are skilled at making even the most anxious child feel really comfortable and happy in our care.
As well as being gentle and kind we promise to educate, showing your child how to brush their teeth correctly and look after their gums, all in all making a visit to us a positive experience.
Whether you’re in the dentist’s chair or chatting to our reception team, we’re all passionate about giving you and your family the very best experience at the dentist, as well as offering a comprehensive range of treatments under one roof. From dental hygiene and fillings, to bespoke dentures and onlays, crowns and dental bridges, we’ll make sure you receive high quality care that delivers excellent results.
If you’re nervous about visiting the dentist, we offer additional support to help you get the dental care you need, and our friendly team can also give gentle, relaxed check ups and treatments to the youngest members of your family.
dental fillings
At Oh My Smile, we always want you to be able to live life to the full – eating, talking and laughing without pain or hesitation. One of the best ways that we can help you to achieve this is with regular check-ups to ensure you maintain a healthy mouth, teeth and gums.
These appointments are important as they allow us to identify any potential problems early. For example, being able to identify minor damage to teeth caused by decay before the tooth breaks or starts to cause the pain.
We can then use fillings to help repair the tooth and avoid the need for more complex treatment or extraction.
Once your clinician has fully cleaned the decayed area, you may chose to use the latest composite resin that colour-matches the tooth to fill the hole, helping to prevent additional issues in the future.
For patients who have received darker, amalgam fillings in the past, we can replace these with our discreet composite fillings, so you won’t have to worry about how your teeth might look when you’re talking or eating.
During your consultation, your clinician will take the time to fully examine your teeth and discuss the potential options in detail, giving you the chance to ask questions. If you decide to go ahead, a local anaesthetic will be carefully administered to ensure the filling treatment process is completely comfortable for you, and your dentist will take care to go at a pace that suits you.
You can speak to a member of the team to find out more about our fillings and there are plenty of ways to get in touch with us. Just give us a call, email the practice or you can simply complete the contact form and a member of our team will be in touch with you.
dental hygiene
Did you know that even the most effective teeth cleaning routine at home is unlikely to reach all areas of the mouth, teeth and gums?
This means that plaque and tarter can start to build up, which could lead to tooth decay and gum disease. The best way to avoid problems in the future is to ensure you book regular dental hygiene appointments.
Our friendly, experienced Dental Therapist, will be able to carry out a professional scale and polish, tackling those hard to reach areas so you can have complete confidence that alongside regular brushing at home, you could have a healthy mouth and beautiful smile for years to come.
In addition to carrying out deep cleans, the hygienist will also take the time to listen to any worries or concerns that you have, and give you individual advice about the best way to care for your teeth, mouth and gums at home. This could involve better brushing techniques, how to use special ‘interdental’ brushes, dietary advice and how to choose the most suitable toothpaste.
dentures
Here at Oh My Smile in Cheadle we are proud to offer the latest technology in denture design. Dentures, or “false teeth”, are removable prosthesis which help to replace any missing teeth.
They can be a full or complete denture, or a partial denture where some of the false teeth are fitted around the natural teeth. We use the latest techniques and technology in dentures, which look very natural and give you back your smile and healthy appearance.
If you’re considering dentures as a way to replace missing teeth please get in touch and book an appointment.
We will carry out a thorough assessment of your bite, your smile and how you chew. We discuss what is important to you and what outcome you wish to achieve with a denture.
Taking this into consideration, we can prescribe the most suitable type of denture and discuss your treatment options, giving you the time you need to decide the best treatment path for you.

onlays, crowns & bridges
Every member of our experienced, dedicated team is passionate in helping our patients have the best possible experience when they visit our Cheadle practice, and ensuring everyone can have confidence in their smile.
Therefore clinicians will always make sure you have had sufficient time to discuss your treatment plan which may include more complex restorations such as inlays, crowns and bridges to protect your smile.
An onlay is similar to a dental filling, but is used to mend the chewing surface of a large back tooth, where there is decay in the centre and on one or more of the tooth cusps (the raised areas of the tooth).
This allows the restoration of the tooth function, strength and shape so you can enjoy all your favourite foods once more.
Dental crowns are custom made for each individual, and can be described as a cap that fits securely over a tooth that has needed significant repair, for example following a root canal treatment. The crown helps restore the appearance and strength of the tooth, allowing you to eat, talk and smile with confidence.
If you have experienced tooth loss, we understand that it can be a stressful, worrying time. In addition to dental implants, dental bridges are a ‘fixed’ way to replace a gap caused by a missing tooth or teeth.
A custom-made bridge is an artificial tooth or teeth which is secured in place by being attached to one/two crowns, that fit snugly over the teeth next to the gap.
Crowns and bridges rely on the underlying tooth structure being strong enough to support them, so this may mean they are not a suitable option for every patient. As with every area of dental care we offer, our clinicians will carry out a detailed assessment of your teeth before discussing the options in detail and answering your questions. We believe this is the only way you can make an informed decision – one that is right for you.
