Dental Examinations
This is a critical part of the dental appointment. At your first visit and subsequent check-ups, the dentist will conduct a thorough examination of not only your oral health but also the health of the peri-oral tissues.
Dental Fillings
Fillings are placed to restore teeth to function and appearance after trauma, caries removal or tooth wear. Fillings can be categorised into two types: silver–coloured or tooth-coloured. However, we no longer place silver coloured fillings at our clinic.
Periodontal Treatment
Also known as non-surgical periodontal treatment or gum therapy, this is a treatment for individuals with periodontal or gum disease. During your regular check-up, our dentist will always assess your gum health.
Regular Maintenance
This is the regular maintenance treatment that is usually sufficient for most people to maintain oral health. In addition to the dental check-up, it involves scaling and polishing, fluoride treatment, and sometimes special tests depending on your specific needs.
Root Canal Treatments
When the nerve of a tooth dies or becomes infected, you may experience pain and swelling. This can cause a severe toothache in extreme cases. Root canal treatment allows us to remove the infected or necrotic nerve while saving the tooth.
Tooth Extractions
Extraction is the treatment to take a tooth out under local anaesthetic. It is usually done because a tooth can no longer be restored, is too mobile, or for orthodontic treatment.
Children (Paediatric) Dentistry Services
Children's Dental Examinations
The most important part of our dental examination for children, especially for a first visit, is acclimatisation. The goal for this first visit is to make each child feel comfortable in the dental environment and to proceed at a pace that the child can handle.
Kids Dental Fillings
Fillings are placed to restore teeth to function and appearance after trauma, caries removal or tooth wear. Fillings can be separated into two categories: silver–coloured or tooth-coloured. We no longer place silver coloured fillings at our clinic.
Early Orthodontic Treatment for Children
When teeth are crowded or poorly aligned, early orthodontic treatment can help to give your child ‘straight teeth’.
Root Canal Treatments
Root canal treatment is the process of removing the infected nerve while saving the tooth. It is not a treatment that is frequently needed in children, but it is available should the need arise.
Kids Dental Routine Maintenance
A kids’ dentist provides routine maintenance to reinforce good oral hygiene and dietary habits, as well as scaling and polishing. Dietary counselling is provided verbally at our kids’ dental clinic, along with demonstrations on toothbrushing techniques.
Kids Tooth Extractions
Kids’ tooth extractions are a treatment that involves removing a tooth under local anaesthesia. It is usually done because a child’s tooth can no longer be restored, is too mobile for eating, or orthodontic treatment.
Cosmetic Dentistry Services
CAD-CAM Technology
A method for fabricating tooth coloured restorations within the day! We can use a digital image of your teeth to create crowns, veneers, onlays, inlays, and bridges with a beautiful, natural finish.
Crowns
When a tooth is fragile due to an extensive restoration, broken down or irreversibly discoloured, a crown may be fabricated to protect the tooth from fracture and to restore its function and aesthetics.
Invisalign
Adult orthodontics is becoming increasingly accessible. If you have concerns about the alignment of your teeth, we would be happy to see you for a consultation and discuss the appropriate method to meet your requirements and priorities.
Fixed Braces
Fixed braces are a reliable orthodontic treatment that uses brackets and wires attached to the teeth, gradually aligning them over time for a straighter, healthier smile.
Teeth Whitening
Our smile is one of the key ways that we greet the world. However, teeth can yellow over time due to age and certain lifestyle choices. Tooth whitening is a simple, non-invasive method for whitening yellowed teeth and brightening your smile.
Veneers
When a tooth is structurally sound but discoloured or misshapen, porcelain veneers can be used to restore and cosmetically improve its appearance.
Dental Implantology Services
Implant Supported Bridge
An implant-supported bridge, also known as an implant-supported fixed denture, is a replacement for multiple teeth in one span that utilises implants and a fixed prosthesis.
Implant Supported Single Crown
When you’re missing a single tooth, you have the option of a conventional bridge. Alternatively, we can place an implant-supported crown. In situations where the adjacent teeth are pristine, or conversely, unsuitable to act as bridge abutments, the implant-supported crown is an ideal solution.
Removable Dentures
Conventional removable dentures rely on the underlying jawbone for support. However, over time, the gum and bone shrink, making it increasingly challenging to create a satisfactorily retentive denture.
Oral Surgery Services
Orthodontic Extractions
Teeth other than wisdom teeth can become impacted, meaning they are displaced from their normal alignment. For the orthodontist to proceed with your treatment, these teeth need to be removed. A surgical approach is often necessary.
Wisdom Tooth Extraction
Surgical removal of wisdom teeth is typically performed to remove impacted wisdom teeth that cannot be removed non-surgically. Most often under local anaesthetic, IV sedation can also be provided for the anxious patient.
Restorative Dentistry Services
Crowns & Bridges
Crowns are an excellent solution for teeth that have been broken, weakened by large fillings, or fractured. Ridges are a method of replacing a missing tooth by using the adjacent teeth to provide support.
Inlays & Onlays
Inlays and onlays are fabricated in the lab. Inlays serve as stronger, more durable alternatives to fillings, particularly when restoring large cavities. Onlays are a method of protecting the occlusal surface of a tooth in situations where a full crown is not necessary.
Removable Dentures
Removable dentures are a solution to replace missing teeth. They may be placed in a jaw where some teeth remain, or fully replace all the teeth in an arch. They are either an interim treatment in preparation for bridging or implants, or can be the final treatment itself.
Tooth Surface Loss / Bruxism
Tooth surface loss (TSL) can occur due to acid erosion of teeth, abrasion from hard substances – nuts, ice, or aggressive toothbrushing, and attrition, the wear caused by parafunctional tooth contact.
