Are you missing one or more teeth and looking for a permanent, natural-looking solution? At Freshdental in Kensington, we offer advanced dental implant treatments designed to restore your smile, improve your confidence, and support long-term oral health. Our experienced implant dentists use the latest technology to provide you with safe, effective, and lasting results.
General dentistry is the foundation of long-term oral health. Many common dental problems, including tooth decay and gum disease, develop gradually and may not cause symptoms in the early stages. Regular professional care allows us to identify and manage small issues before they become more complex or uncomfortable.
As a trusted provider of general dentistry in Kensington, we take time to understand your oral hygiene routine, medical history, and risk factors. This allows us to offer practical guidance and recommend appropriate recall intervals based on your individual needs. Our goal is to help you maintain a stable, healthy mouth and reduce the likelihood of emergency treatment in the future.
Routine dental examinations are an essential part of maintaining healthy teeth and gums. During your appointment, we will carry out a thorough assessment of your oral health.
A typical examination at Freshdental includes:
Each tooth is examined for signs of decay, wear, cracks, or problems with existing fillings, crowns, or other restorations.
We assess the condition of the gums, checking for bleeding, inflammation, recession, or pocketing that may indicate gum disease.
The soft tissues of the mouth, tongue, cheeks, and throat are carefully examined as a precautionary measure.
We evaluate how your teeth meet and check the function of the jaw joints, particularly if you experience clenching, grinding, or discomfort.
The recommended frequency of dental check-ups varies depending on your oral health status and risk level. Some patients may benefit from more frequent visits, while others may require examinations less often. If it has been a while since your last appointment, we will work with you to restore your oral health to a stable baseline.

Even with careful brushing and interdental cleaning at home, plaque can build up in areas that are difficult to reach. Over time, this plaque hardens into tartar, which cannot be removed with a toothbrush alone.
Our hygiene appointments form an important part of general dentistry in Kensington. During your visit, our dental hygienists will:
Remove plaque and tartar from the teeth and along the gum line
Clean below the gum margin where necessary
Polish the teeth to reduce surface staining
Assess gum health and pocket depths
Provide personalised advice on brushing technique, interdental cleaning, and suitable oral care products
Regular visits for professional dental hygiene help prevent gingivitis and support the health of the gums and bone that hold your teeth in place. Patients often notice that their teeth feel smoother and cleaner after treatment.
If tooth decay is detected during your examination, a tooth filling in Kensington is usually the most appropriate way to restore the tooth. Treating cavities early helps prevent further damage and preserves the strength of the natural tooth.
At Freshdental, our general dentist in Kensington typically uses composite resin, a tooth-coloured material that blends with your natural enamel.
Benefits of composite fillings
Natural appearance with shade matching to your teeth
Conservative treatment, preserving more healthy tooth structure
Durable support for normal biting and chewing
Composite materials bond directly to the tooth, allowing for a strong and functional restoration. If an existing filling becomes worn, cracked, or leaking, it can be replaced to maintain protection and comfort.
Many patients choose to brighten their smile as part of their overall dental care. Teeth can become discoloured over time due to ageing, dietary habits, or lifestyle factors. As part of our general dentistry in Kensington, we offer professional at-home whitening systems that provide gradual, controlled results.
Patients considering professional teeth whitening benefit from a safe and supervised approach tailored to their individual shade goals.
Your treatment includes:
Custom-made whitening trays created from impressions of your teeth
Professional-strength whitening gel
Clear instructions on safe and effective use
A dental examination is required before whitening to ensure your teeth and gums are healthy. When used under professional supervision and as directed, at-home whitening is safe for enamel and designed to minimise sensitivity.
Most patients see noticeable improvement within 10 to 14 days, depending on the starting shade and individual response.
Choosing the right dental practice means finding a team that understands your needs and provides consistent, reliable care. At Freshdental, we focus on creating a positive experience at every visit.
Our patients benefit from:
Highly trained clinicians providing comprehensive general dentistry
Personalised treatment planning based on individual risk and goals
Modern digital diagnostics for accurate assessment
A calm, supportive environment focused on patient comfort
A convenient Kensington location with accessible appointment options
We believe that clear communication and preventive care are key to helping patients maintain healthy, confident smiles for the long term.
Most examinations take around 20 to 30 minutes. This may be longer if X-rays or detailed treatment planning are required.
Some patients experience mild, temporary sensitivity after a hygiene visit. This usually settles quickly, and we can recommend suitable products if needed.
Symptoms may include sensitivity, discomfort when biting, or a visible defect. However, many cavities are only detected during a routine examination.
Yes. When prescribed and monitored by a dentist, professional at-home whitening is a controlled and safe treatment.
