Treatments

Probably the most important step, a thorough check-up allows us to deliver tailored preventive advice and a treatment plan to our patients. We’ll routinely carry out a series of checks to rule out oral and dental diseases, excessive tooth wear and tear, and check that your jaw joint is healthy. Digital photos and low-dose x-rays are followed by us explaining what our findings were and what your options are. Don’t wait until it hurts to come and visit us... Prevention is better than cure. We now offer a digital examination service where we can compare digital scans of your mouth between separate examinations in order to evaluate any tooth and gum changes over time.

This is the foundation of successful dental care. Simple. Our Signature gum treatments target bad breath, bleeding gums or advanced gum disease and help you smile (and smooch!) with confidence. Since our main focus is prevention, we will always invest heaps of time coaching you to become a champion at your daily home care regime. We offer Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT), a modern dental cleaning technique used to remove biofilm - a sticky layer of bacteria - from teeth, gums and implants in a gentle systematic way with the original Swiss Airflow® Prophylaxis Master Unit.

We love working with kids! We would like to help children develop the right sort of dietary and oral hygiene habits early on, which is proven to help them have a healthy full set of adult teeth later in life. Our treatment options for kids are up-to-date with modern dentistry and are always focused on saving children's teeth with long-lasting solutions where possible.

The older generations are keeping their teeth longer thanks to a gradual increase in awareness and education over that last 50 years….and rightly so! It is now our duty to help maintain their teeth and overall dentition in optimal condition for as long as is possible. A healthy and stable set of teeth allows consumption of a better diet and digestion, which in turn affects overall health. Viscous cycle!

Are you experiencing frequent headaches, neck-aches, jaw joint tenderness, or notice a clicking sound when opening or closing your mouth? These are symptoms of temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD) and are often brought on by stress and an underlying tooth grinding or tooth clenching habit. We have a special interest in treating TMD and are perfectly placed to help you.

For those of us who are tooth grinders, aggressive tooth-brushers or who have consumed lots of acidic drinks, tooth wear and tear is also an important issue to tackle. We can even detect and treat these very early on so that it will never worsen. Our treatments range from examining your bite right through to providing a suitable mouth guard or rebuilding your teeth back to their former glory.

Does your partner grumble about you snoring? We can help by providing a customised anti-snoring appliance to be worn at night-time, which is definitely more comfortable than being banished to the spare room.

We are an amalgam-free practice, meaning we don’t fill teeth with silver fillings. Instead, we excel at fillings that have a natural shape and tooth-colour… Can you spot the filling?! Modern day plastic white fillings (aka Composite Bonding) are very durable and cosmetic, however, it is also possible to upgrade to ceramic (porcelain) ones.

There are times when a filling is just not sufficient to provide the strength a tooth needs to function properly. A crown acts as a shield around the tooth, offering reinforcement. We can provide different types of crowns to suit your needs. The more cosmetic ceramic crowns provide a totally natural appearance without the use of metal in their structure. Having a CEREC machine on site also allows us to deliver crowns instantly during the same visit!

Smile makeover, anyone? Tooth size, shape and proportion can be modified thanks to the porcelain veneer, and forward planning helps plan the final result before we even start. Done properly, this artistic treatment option is a game changer. Veneers can be made with Composite Bonding or Ceramic.

Fear not! If your tooth is damaged enough to need this sort of help, we are armed to the ‘teeth’ to help make this a painless and very successful procedure. With the latest knowledge and technology at hand, we will get to the 'root' of the problem, and you can hang on to a problem-free tooth!

In the right hands and with the right products, tooth whitening is a very effective treatment and most definitely safe for our teeth. Things like curries, red wine, tea, coffee, smoking and age all make our teeth dull and darker over time. We offer exceptional power whitening options to suit your lifestyle and achieve the tooth colour you’ve always wanted.

Our denture portfolio is vast, and can be suited to your particular needs. We can even provide top end dentures that fit like a glove and look just like natural teeth. Nobody has to know…

Sometimes this is inevitable. Whatever the case, don’t panic, we’ll be kind, gentle and understanding.

For those patients who may require more than our very friendly and patient patient-centered approach, we can put your fears to ‘sleep’. We work with several anaesthetists who can certainly bring out a more sedate and relaxed you for the duration of your dental treatment.

In dentistry, Botulinum Toxin can be used to reduce the appearance of a 'gummy' smile as well as help in the treatment of overgrown muscles of mastication (these are the muscles used in chewing), which are usually present in those who clench and grind their teeth extensively.
