Gum Surgery  
Dentist Consultation from €40
(x-rays may be necessary at this visit)
Root canals from €250
Root canal treatment is the preferred way to treat an infection in the nerve center of the tooth, known as the pulp. The pulp is the soft, inner core of the tooth that consists of blood vessels, nerves, and connective tissue. When the pulp is diseased or injured and cant repair itself, it dies. The most common cause of pulp death is a cracked tooth or a deep cavity. Both of these problems can let bacteria enter the pulp. Bacteria can cause an infection inside the tooth. Left without treatment, pus builds up at the root tip, in the jawbone, forming a "pus-pocket" called an abscess. Usually pain and swelling will result. Without treatment, your tooth may have to be removed. The aim of the treatment is to remove all infection from the root canal. The root is then cleaned and filled to prevent any further infection. Root canal treatment is a skilled and time-consuming procedure. Most courses of treatment will involve two or more visits to your dentist. At the first appointment, the infected pulp is removed. The root canal is then cleaned and shaped ready for the filling using thin files (as seen in the first x-ray). A temporary filling is put in and the tooth is left to settle. The tooth is checked at a later visit and when all the infection has cleared, the tooth is permanently filled. About 90 percent of root canals are successful and the pain does not return. However, sometimes a root canal needs to be redone or the tooth extracted.

What is a scale and polish?Your dentist or hygienist will use a scale and polish when your teeth require a thorough clean to remove all traces of plaque and tartar. Scaling is used to remove the hard tartar on your teeth, which cannot be removed by simply brushing your teeth. The polishing stage helps to clean away stains from your teeth, which may have been caused by coffee, tea, red wine or smoking.

A friendly and sympathetic welcome from the startJohn, Ireland, 10 06 25

After a lifetime of dental neglect all because of a gagging problem anything that involved doing work inside my mouth was difficult. (sometimes even brushing my teeth). Finally picking up the courage to make an appointment with the Gate Clinic I have to say all my nightmares are over. A friendly and sympathetic welcome from the start, from Claire at reception to the expert care by Brian Delgado who sedated me for my first session, everybody greets you with a friendly smile. This was followed by several visits under the care of Pedro an absolute expert where implants are concerned and nurse Patricia who was so encouraging and kind. I now have a perfect lower set of teeth mounted on 4 implants with which I can eat anything once again. Thanks especially to Pedro and Patricia without who's kindness, encouragement and care made the whole experience so pleasant.
