Treatments at the Mayfield clinic
Dental Services for Wickham Patients at Our Mayfield Clinic
Most Wickham patients come to us for routine care, but the Mayfield clinic also handles repairs, tooth replacement, cosmetic work and urgent appointments. Each treatment is explained, with costs in writing, before it starts. Reception can confirm which treatments are done at the Mayfield clinic.
Check-Ups, Cleans and Children's Dentistry
A check-up looks at your teeth, gums, bite and the soft tissues of your mouth, including a screen for signs of oral cancer. A professional clean removes the plaque and tartar that brushing and flossing miss. Children are seen at an unhurried pace so early visits feel normal, and sports mouthguards are made from a mould of your own teeth for a closer fit.
- Examination and oral cancer screen
- Scale, clean and polish
- Fluoride to help protect against decay
- Custom-fitted sports mouthguards
Fillings, Crowns and Root Canal Treatment
Small areas of decay are repaired with tooth-coloured filling material matched to the shade of your tooth. When a tooth is badly broken or heavily filled, a crown covers and protects what is left, and a bridge can fill the gap left by a missing tooth. If the nerve inside a tooth becomes infected, root canal treatment cleans and seals the canals so the tooth can often be kept.
- Tooth-coloured fillings
- Crowns to protect weak or cracked teeth
- Bridges to replace a missing tooth
- Root canal treatment for infected teeth
Dental Implants and Dentures
A dental implant is a small post placed in the jaw to hold a replacement crown, and it does not rely on the teeth beside it. Dentures are removable and can replace a few teeth or a full arch. Before any treatment, your dentist checks your gums, bone and general health, then explains the options, the number of visits and the costs in writing so you can decide.
- Assessment of gums and bone first
- Implant-supported crowns
- Full and partial dentures
- Written treatment plan and costs
Teeth Whitening and Clear Aligners
Professional whitening lightens the natural colour of your teeth. Your dentist first checks that your teeth and gums are healthy and explains what change to expect, because fillings and crowns do not lighten. Clear aligners are a series of removable trays that move teeth gradually, and they suit many cases of mild to moderate crowding or gaps.
- Health check before whitening
- Shade discussed before you start
- Removable clear aligner trays
- Assessment to see if aligners suit you
Wisdom Tooth Extractions
Wisdom teeth usually arrive between the late teens and mid-twenties. An x-ray shows whether they are coming through straight or are stuck against the tooth in front. Teeth that cause pain, repeated gum infections, decay or damage to the teeth next to them may need to come out, and your dentist will tell you whether that can be done in the chair or needs a specialist.
- X-ray to check position and roots
- Advice on whether removal is needed
- Removal under local anaesthetic where suitable
- Referral for complex cases
Emergency Dentistry
Toothache, swelling, a broken or knocked-out tooth, or a lost filling or crown all need prompt attention. Call the clinic as early in the day as you can: reception will ask about your symptoms and offer the earliest suitable appointment. If swelling spreads towards your eye or neck, or you have trouble breathing or swallowing, go to a hospital emergency department.
- Toothache and swelling
- Broken or knocked-out teeth
- Lost fillings and crowns
- Earliest suitable appointment

Urgent dental care
Need an Emergency Dentist Near Wickham?
If you have a toothache, a broken tooth or swelling, ring Mayfield Dental Care on (02) 4023 3885 as early in the day as you can. Tell reception about any swelling, fever or bleeding so they can judge how soon you need to be seen. The Mayfield clinic is closed on Saturdays. On a Saturday, call MS Dental Cardiff on (02) 4954 7722. It is open from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm.
If swelling is making it hard to breathe or swallow, bleeding will not stop after 20 minutes of firm pressure, or you have hurt your jaw or head, go straight to the nearest hospital emergency department rather than driving to a dental appointment.
