Tooth Whitening
Whitening is ideal for patients who want a whiter, brighter more confident smile without having the teeth drilled.
Tooth Coloured Restorations
A metal smile is a thing of the past, there are newer, bologically compatible materials that can be used to restore your teeth.
Veneers
Veneers are a thin shell of porcelain that is bonded to the front surface of the tooth and are designed to dramatically improve the appearance of your teeth.
Crowns
A crown or ‘cap’ is recommended for strengthening weakened teeth and for improving aesthetics (cosmetic appearance).
Mini Implants
Mini Dental Implants, also known as MDI, are ultra-small biocompatible titanium alloy implant screws which can be used to stabilise upper and/or lower dentures.
Implants
A dental implant is the ‘state of the art’ alternative to replacing a tooth, or closing a gap where a tooth once used to be. An implant can be a single tooth replacement, or involved in a bridge, replacing numerous teeth.
Metal Free Dentures
For more than five decades Valplast® flexible partials have been the preferred choice of patients looking for a method of tooth replacement that is aesthetic, comfortable and affordable.
Dental Bridges
Bridges, like crowns are made from porcelain, and are designed to match the natural colour of the teeth, to give a natural appearance.
Conventional & Ceramic Braces
Orthodontics is that branch of dentistry which specialises in the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of problems in the alignment of teeth and jaws.
Invisalign - Invisible Braces
This technique involves series of clear removable plastic aligners to straighten your teeth without metal wires or brackets.
Early Bite Correction
In most cases, orthodontic treatment is commenced as soon as the last baby tooth has been shed. This usually occurs in the early teens. In some cases, it is an advantage to start just before the last baby teeth are shed.
Hygienists and Gum Care
Dental Hygienists use preventive, educational and clinical methods for the control of oral diseases to aid in achieving and maintaining oral health.
How to Prevent Tooth Decay
By thorough and regular tooth brushing, flossing and monitoring of the diet you can prevent decay from occurring.
Tooth Sensitivity
There are several reasons why dental sensitivity can occur, they may include * Gum recession * Toothbrush abrasions * Decay * Fracture lines in the enamel * Acidity / Diet
Acid Wear
Acid wear is the wearing away of healthy teeth by anything acidic.
Fissure Sealants
A fissure sealant is made up of a resin (hard plastic) material that is applied to the pits and fissures (grooves) of the premolar and molar teeth.
Tooth Remineralisation
Tooth decay formation takes place due to a process called demineralisation which involves minerals (like calcium compounds) being leached (dissolved away) from a tooth's hard tissues (enamel, dentin, cementum).
Night Guards for Grinding
Bruxing or otherwise known as grinding or clenching can cause permanent damage to your teeth and jaw joint (Temporomandibular Joint). Most people who clench and grind their teeth do it during sleep periods, however this may also occur during the day.
Pregnancy Gingivitis
When you’re pregnant, what you do to take care of your own health, including your oral health, affects the health of your developing baby.
Children's Dentistry
A dental therapist is a licensed dental auxiliary who specialises in treating children's teeth and providing oral hygiene services. Our therapists work closely with our dentists to provide the best possible care for your child.
Root Canal Therapy
When the nerve of the centre of the tooth becomes irreversibly damaged or dies the only treatment possible to save the tooth is called root canal therapy.
Wisdom Tooth Removal
It is best to have troublesome wisdom teeth removed while you are young. In young people, a tooth’s roots have not formed totally and the bone surrounding the tooth is softer.
Nitrous Oxide
Many people avoid going to the dentist because of the fear of dental procedures. Conscious sedation can provide anxiety relief and often overcome fear.
