It's important to have regular 6 monthly scale and cleans performed for the oral hygiene of your teeth and gums. Teeth cleaning is also crucial to stop the progression of gingivitis and periodontal disease.

Fillings are used to restore the normal function and shape of teeth that have been damaged by decay. The first step in this process is to remove the decay from the tooth and clean the affected area. Once this is complete, then the remaining cavity can be filled.

A tooth may need to be removed if it has extensive decay or it's damaged beyond repair. Teeth extractions may also be necessary to make room for other teeth or for orthodontic treatment. We incorporate the latest pain-free procedures with all of our extractions.

Dental sealants are a simple procedure in which a tooth-coloured resin coating is painted on the surface of the tooth and hardened. This seals the grooves of the tooth and helps prevent decay on the biting surfaces of your chewing teeth.

A denture is a removable appliance that's inserted into the mouth to replace natural teeth and provide support for the cheeks and lips, improving aesthetics and function. Dentures are either partial or complete and can be made of plastic or metal.

Complete dentures can be fitted after all teeth have been removed and the gum tissue has begun to heal. A conventional complete denture is usually fitted 8 to 12 weeks after the teeth have been removed.

A crown is necessary when a tooth is damaged due to decay or trauma and cannot be repaired with a filling. Crowns are made from different materials, but porcelain crowns are the most popular because they are the most natural looking. A crown, sometimes referred to as a cap, is used to build up tooth structure so that it can function as a natural tooth.

A bridge is a device used to replace missing teeth. It attaches artificial teeth to adjacent natural teeth, called abutment teeth. Bridges are either permanently attached (fixed bridges) or these can also be designed to be removable.

Veneers are thin custom-made shells of tooth coloured materials that bond directly to the front surfaces of the teeth, changing their colour, shape, size or length. Veneers can be made from porcelain or from composite materials and are virtually undetectable and resistant to staining. As these resemble tooth enamel it makes veneers superior to other restorative options.

A root canal is one of the most common dental procedures performed to save your natural teeth and prevent the need for expensive dental implants or bridges. It involves removing the infected part of a tooth and filling it with a composite material.

Teeth whitening is safe, quick, and inexpensive. Dental bleaching can be used to correct tooth discolouration caused by internal and external staining, aging, or chemical damage to teeth. We offer a safe and efficient method for creating a beautiful smile using the latest in bleaching technology.
