Pain, decay and check-ups
-

Check-up & cleaning
A look at every tooth and your gums, then cleaning and polishing. The hard yellow layer that brushing can't remove (called tartar) is gently scraped off. Most people find it a little ticklish, not painful.
Usually 1 visit, about 30–45 minutes. Come back every 6 months.
-

A cavity or a broken edge: filling
The decayed or broken part is cleaned away and the hole is filled with a tooth-coloured material that sets hard. You may get a numbing injection first so you don't feel it.
Usually 1 visit, 30–60 minutes. A very deep cavity sometimes needs a second visit.
-

Bad tooth pain: root canal
When decay reaches the soft nerve inside a tooth, it hurts and can swell. A root canal cleans out that nerve, disinfects the inside and seals it, so you keep the tooth instead of losing it. It is done with numbing; most people say it feels like a long filling.
Usually 3–4 visits over 2–4 weeks, including the cap at the end.
-

Removing a tooth, including wisdom teeth
For a tooth that is broken beyond repair, loose, or a wisdom tooth (the last back tooth) that is stuck or keeps getting infected. The area is numbed first. You go home with gauze to bite on and simple aftercare instructions.
1 visit, plus a short check about a week later.
Replacing weak or missing teeth
-

A weak tooth or a gap: caps and bridges
A cap (also called a crown) is a tooth-shaped cover fixed over a weak or root-canal-treated tooth. A bridge fills a gap: a false tooth held by caps on the teeth on either side. Both are made to measure, so there is a wait while they are made.
Cap: usually 2 visits, 1–2 weeks apart. Bridge: 2–3 visits over 1–3 weeks.
-

A missing tooth: implant
An implant is a small metal screw placed in the jawbone where a tooth is missing. It acts as a new root; after the bone heals around it, a new tooth is fixed on top. It takes the longest of all treatments because the bone needs months to heal.
Usually 4 visits over 3–6 months, most of it healing time at home.
-

Many teeth missing: dentures
Dentures are removable false teeth, a full set or a few on a frame. They are built step by step from measurements of your mouth, with a trial before the final set so the look and bite feel right.
Usually 4–5 visits over 3–5 weeks.
Straightening teeth
-

Crooked or gapped teeth: braces
Braces are small brackets and a wire that slowly move teeth into line. Straightening teeth like this is called orthodontics. It is a long, steady process with short adjustment visits.
Usually 12–24 months, with a short visit every 4–6 weeks.

The tooth is numbed first, so most people feel pressure rather than pain, a lot like a long filling. The tooth may feel sore for a day or two afterwards.
It depends on the tooth and the material, so the clinic tells you after the check-up. Please ask on the phone or at your visit.
