Hygiene visit
Keep your breath fresh and teeth clean with hygiene visits
Hygienists use professional tools and techniques to clean and polish your teeth, reaching even the bits it’s easy to miss when you brush.
Regular hygiene visits can help prevent:
- Gingivitis and gum disease
- Bad breath (halitosis)
- Early tooth decay
- Dental issues linked to poor oral health
- Sensitive or bleeding gums
- Tooth staining
Root canal treatment
Relieve pain and save your natural tooth
Root canal treatments help our patients stave off infection and reduce discomfort, all while preserving your natural tooth.
You might benefit from root canal treatment if you have:
- Ongoing pain or heightened sensitivity in a specific tooth
- Soreness, puffiness, or inflammation around the gums
- A tooth that’s chipped, fractured, or structurally weakened
- A tooth that’s started to turn grey or become noticeably darker
- A small lump or pimple-like spot near the base of the tooth
Dental health check
Regular dental visits to keep your smile in top shape
We’d recommend seeing your dentist every six months to keep your teeth and gums happy and healthy.
Your dental health check includes:
- Dental health assessment
- Oral cancer screening
- A look at any concerns you might have
- X-rays or scans, if needed
- Tailored advice
- Further treatment planning, if needed
Fillings
Restore your tooth’s health and appearance
We use resin matched to your natural teeth to gently fill and repair, blending seamlessly with your smile.
Fillings can be a good option for you if
- Notice small cracks or dark spots forming on your teeth
- Often get food stuck in the same place when eating
- Experience sharp sensitivity to temperature or sugary foods
- Feel discomfort or pain when biting down or chewing
- Want to replace visible silver fillings with a more natural-looking alternative

We welcome hundreds of patients from Corby and wider Northamptonshire for general dental care
Everyone at Smiles Ahead has been so amazing. I had to go in as an emergency patient and they got a slot for me that morning. I had a panicky episode on my first visit but I was given the right support to get me ready for my next visit and tooth extraction. That first evening, I had a call just to check I was doing okay which was greatly appreciated. When I then went back for the extraction, everyone was so reassuring and patient with me, explaining each step and putting soothing music on. I sat in the waiting area afterwards while they kept an eye on me because I was very shaky, and they checked I would be okay getting home. Appointments have been on time, staff have all been friendly and very understanding of how anxious I have been. They couldn’t have done more to make me feel at ease. Highly recommend. I will always come back here now.

I’ve been going to Smiles Ahead for almost 5 years now and I’ve got nothing but great words to say. I called for an emergency appointment for my jaw this January and got booked in really quickly and saw Shree, the new dentist, which was so convenient as she specialises in jaws and aches. Shree did a whole thorough assessment of my jaw, X-rays etc. gave me some exercises, and sorted me out with some really good retainers plus a temporary one to see me through until they were ready. I’m now completely pain free after following her instructions and I couldn’t be happier! The whole team are amazing and all very positive and gentle, which is great for people who maybe aren’t so confident going to the dentist. Thanks Shree and the team!
