Sciennes Dental Care

Sciennes Dental Care provides private dental care in Edinburgh, with treatment areas covering general dentistry, cosmetic dentistry, missing teeth and preventative dentistry. Care includes routine and problem-led dental treatment, as well as support for dental emergencies, nervous patients and children’s teeth.

General dental treatments include emergency dental care, root canal therapy, extractions and oral surgery. Emergency care covers assessment of the dental issue, pain relief and management, treatment of dental infections or abscesses, repair of damaged or broken teeth, and aftercare advice. Root canal therapy is provided for infected or damaged tooth pulp, while extractions and oral surgery may be used where a tooth cannot be repaired, including discussion of sedation and pain management options.

Cosmetic dentistry includes braces, white fillings, porcelain veneers and teeth whitening. Braces may include metal, ceramic or clear aligner options, with assessment, treatment planning, fitting, adjustment and retainer advice. White fillings use tooth-coloured composite resin, veneers are used to cover the front surface of teeth, and teeth whitening is available as in-office treatment or take-home kits with custom trays.

For missing teeth, the practice provides crowns, dentures and denture stabilisation, bridges and dental implants. Crowns are used to restore damaged or weakened teeth, dentures replace missing teeth, and denture stabilisation can use implants to help secure dentures. Dental implant treatment includes evaluation, planning and imaging, surgical placement and attachment of the replacement tooth or crown.

Preventative care includes dental hygiene, treatment for sensitive teeth and children’s dental care. Sensitive teeth care may include assessment, desensitising treatment, brushing advice, oral care product recommendations and discussion of diet. Children’s dental care includes routine examinations, fluoride varnish, fissure sealants, brushing and flossing education, and nutritional advice for dental health.
