Dental check up and clean


Regular dental cleans and examinations by our highly trained dentists can reduce the risk of tooth decay and other dental problems considerably. We recommend a check up and clean every six months to ensure the health of your teeth.

Based on our findings during the examinations, we might recommend more frequent visits for patients with issues like gum disease and other dental complications.
  • What can you expect during a regular visit?

    1. Our experts will conduct a thorough clean, removing all traces of tartar and plaque that is hard to reach during your daily brushing. This reduces your risk of developing tooth or gum decay.
    2. Your dentist will also conduct a thorough examination of your dental condition, ensuring any signs of tooth and gum disease is picked up and recorded so they can be treated effectively.
    3. If necessary, your dentist will also take xrays of your teeth and jaws - this will help us to monitor the condition of your teeth with every visit, ensuring we pick up on any signs of deterioration and treat it on time.
    4. Fluoride treatment - this is provided at the end of a clean to reduce the risk of tooth decay.
    5. Oral cancer screening - if our dentists find signs of abnormal growths, sores or discolouration, we will then recommend an oral cancer screen to ensure you are not at risk.

Fillings


If our qualified dentist finds traces of tooth decay, they might recommend tooth fillings as part of the treatment. The health of your teeth is reinforced with fillings. Your teeth are also sealed, protecting them from further decay.

There are different types of fillings available and our dentist will recommend and use the one best suitable for your teeth.
  • How do you know if you need a filling?

    You usually need a tooth filling when you have tooth decay or a cavity. Signs of these conditions include sore, painful tooth, swelling and/or tooth discolouration.


    You might even have chronic bad breath, depending on the severity of the decay. Call our clinic right away for an appointment if you experience any of these symptoms.

  • What does a filling involve?

    1. The first thing our highly trained dentist will do when you come in for your appointment, is examine your teeth for signs of decay. X-rays will also be taken if necessary, to identify the extent of the decay.
    2. The next step will be to administer a local anasthetic to numb the area and then remove the decay.
    3. Once all the decay has been successfully removed, our dentist will start filling the tooth with composite resin that matches your teeth as close as possible.
    4. Once the filling has been inserted, it is hardened with the use of a UV light.
    5. The last step is to check that the filling aligns properly with your teeth and file it down if necessary so you are comfortable with it.

Extractions


Our aim is always to try and preserve the health of a tooth structure. However, in some instances a tooth is so severely decayed that the only option is to extract the tooth to prevent other serious oral issues. 

Our highly trained dentists are all experts in tooth extraction and will ensure you experience minimal discomfort during the process.
  • When are tooth extractions necessary?

    There are many dental conditions that would result in you needing a tooth extraction. Here are some:

    1. Gum disease
    2. Severe infection in a tooth/teeth
    3. Broken teeth
    4. Crowded teeth
    5. Impacted or problematic wisdom tooth
  • What does a tooth extraction involve?

    1. Your dentist will first administer a local anesthetic to numb the area so you don't feel pain (if the condition is severe, you might be given a general anesthetic to put you to sleep during the procedure). 
    2. Then a dental tool will be used to loosen the tooth, after which forceps will be used to pull the tooth out.
    3. After the extraction, your dentist will make sure the socket is clean to avoid infection.
    4. You will be informed of what to do after the extraction so you can follow correct after-care processes at home.

Root Canal Treatments


A root canal is an effective way to avoid tooth extraction if the decay or infection is detected in time. Root canals ensure that all bacteria has been removed, ensuring that your overall dental health is not impacted.
  • What are root canal treatments?

    Every tooth has a centre made up of soft tissue, nerves & blood. When a tooth decays, the decay could reach the centre of the tooth, causing the nerve roots to die as well.


    In this condition, bacteria can start to multiply very fast inside the mouth causing pain, swelling & even abcesses in some cases.


    A root canal treatment involves drilling a hole into the tooth and removing the soft centre with any infection.

  • Are root canal treatments painful?

    As a root canal treatment involves drilling a hole into your tooth, it can sometimes be more uncomfortable than a normal filling procedure. However, our dentists will take all care to make you as comfortable as possible, so the level of discomfort and pain is minimum or non-existent.


    Our highly trained dentists are experts in sedation dentistry and will use mild sedation to ensure you are comfortable during the treatment.

Dental Implants


Dental implants are a great, effective way of restoring the function, health and appearance of a person's smile. Our highly trained staff will examine, identify the issue, and recommend this process if suitable to your dental condition.
  • What are dental implants?

    Dental implants is an effective way of replacing one or multiple missing teeth. This process involves securing a titanium post into the mouth, which will then support prosthetics such as dental crowns, that act like a real tooth.

  • What are the benefits of dental implants?

    Dental implants are made from Titanium, which is a resilient material that does not decay. Hence they can last for years with proper maintenance.


    Implants look natural, cannot be detected easily and do not interfere with the structure of your other, natural teeth.

  • How much dental implants cost?

    As the cost would completely depend on how many implants you need, the condition of your dental health and any prelimary treatments that might be necessary, it is best to get in touch with us to get an accurate estimate.

Dental Crowns


Are you conscious of your smile not being symmetrical? Worried about a damaged or severely decayed tooth?

A dental crown could be the solution to your issue. Crowns can be used to cover damage and cosmetic problems, hence they are functional as well as provide cosmetic benefits to our patients.
  • What are dental crowns?

    Dental crowns are coverings or caps for decayed or damaged teeth. 


    These are normally used to cover badly shaped or stained teeth and also to protect weak teeth from breaking. Each cap is customised to your smile so it looks as natural as possible.

  • What does a dental crown procedure involve?

    1. The whole process of getting a dental crown might include multiple appointments with your dentist, depending on the condition of your teeth.
    2. Firstly your dentist will assess your teeth to determine if dental crowns is the right approach to resolve your specific dental issue.
    3. If implementing a dental crown is the best thing for you, your dentist will then start the process, which might include reshaping your tooth to make room for the crown.
    4. On the final appointment, temporary Crown will be removed and permanent Crown inserted.

Dental Bridges


Missing teeth not only impacts your physical appearance but could also cause low self esteem. Getting a dental bridge to replace the missing teeth could make speaking easier, boost your confidence and also help you maintain oral health. 
  • What are dental bridges?

    A dental bridge is implemented when there are missing teeth. A bridges is fixed between two healthy teeth to fill a gap.


    The bridge can be made of metal, porcelain or a mix of both. Your dentist will determine the best option for you after a thorough examination.


    This can sometimes be an effective alternative for dentures.

  • What do dental bridges involve?

    1. First, the abutment teeth will be prepared. This is what holds the crowns and the bridge in place.
    2. Next, impressions will be taken of your teeth in order to model the fake teeth that will be inserted later in the process.
    3. While the fake teeth are being modeled, you will be provided with a temporary bridge that will protect your teeth.
    4. At your next visit, the fit of your new bridge will be tested and adjusted to ensure you are comfortable and that the bridge aligns correctly with your mouth.
