Dental Health
Fillings, root canals, hygiene, and extractions. The foundational care that keeps teeth healthy — and that prepares them for more complex treatment when needed.
The foundation for everything else.
How foundational care fits in
Complex dental work — implants, veneers, crowns — can only succeed on a healthy foundation. Gum disease needs to be treated before implants are placed. A root canal needs to be completed before a crown is fitted. A hygiene programme needs to be established before any cosmetic work begins. Because Dr. Alberts handles both the complex work and the preparatory care, this happens within one practice, planned by one doctor. There are no referrals, no gaps in communication, no repeated histories.
When extraction is the right answer
Extraction is sometimes unavoidable — but it should always be the last answer. Before recommending removal, Dr. Alberts assesses whether root canal treatment, a crown, or another restoration can genuinely save the tooth long-term. When extraction is the right call, the conversation immediately turns to replacement: leaving a gap accelerates bone loss and shifts the neighbouring teeth, so the plan for what comes next is part of the same appointment, not a separate referral months later.
What we offer
Fillings
Composite (tooth-coloured) fillings for cavities and chipped teeth. We use modern bonding techniques and composite materials that restore both function and appearance. Silver amalgam fillings are not used.
Root Canal Treatment
When decay or fracture reaches the nerve of a tooth, root canal treatment removes the infected tissue, cleans the canals, and seals the tooth. Done properly under magnification, it's not the ordeal it's often described as. After treatment, a crown is typically recommended to protect the weakened tooth.
Extractions
When a tooth genuinely cannot be saved, extraction is performed as conservatively as possible — with future replacement planning in mind. Simple and surgical extractions, including wisdom teeth, failed restorations, and teeth compromised by advanced decay or fracture.
Professional Hygiene
Removal of plaque, calculus, and surface stains. Beyond aesthetic benefit, regular professional cleaning is the primary prevention for both cavities and gum disease. Recommended every 6 months; every 3–4 months for patients with a history of gum disease.

Save the tooth first, replace it last
The default position is to keep the natural tooth. A natural root preserves the surrounding bone, the periodontal ligament, and the proprioception that no restoration can fully replicate. Modern endodontics — root canal treatment under magnification, with rotary instruments and three-dimensional sealing — saves teeth that would have been pulled twenty years ago. When a tooth genuinely cannot be saved, the conversation turns to replacement on the same day. Implant, bridge, or prosthetic — each option is laid out with its trade-offs, costs, and timeline. Hygiene appointments are not a sales channel for further work; they are diagnostic. Pocket depths, bleeding indices, and early decay are tracked over time so that small problems are caught while they are still small.
