Check-ups and hygiene
The best way to prevent dental issues is by combining a thorough home care routine with regular dental check-ups and cleanings. During your visits, we’ll screen for oral cancer, gum disease, and any other areas that may need attention. These appointments are key for early detection, which is crucial for maintaining your long-term oral health.
White fillings
With major advancements in technology, tooth-coloured composite restorations (white fillings) offer an aesthetically subtle support to the remaining tooth structure. These are ideal for small to medium restorations as they are strong, durable and virtually unnoticeable.
Dental sealants
These sealants serve as a protective layer preventing food from getting stuck in molars and pre-molars. Made from a tough plastic material that is durable enough to withstand the daily function of the teeth, they are inexpensive and painlessly installed and can last up to six years without needing to be replaced. They are a great way to prevent cavities.
Gum treatment
Many people aren't aware they have gum disease because the outer appearance of their gums can look healthy. However, beneath the surface, harmful bacteria can be hiding, protected from the reach of your toothbrush and slowly attacking the bone that supports your teeth. Since bone damage is irreversible, it's essential to prioritise prevention and treatment to manage gum disease before it causes lasting harm.
Root canal
A damaged tooth that has nerve inflammation can be extremely painful. We act promptly, carrying out root canal therapy to get you out of pain and preserve your tooth. Root canal therapy which has a high success rate, is carried out and completed in comfort. Let’s keep those teeth!
Extraction
Sometimes, teeth need to be extracted—whether it’s due to wisdom teeth, severe decay, trauma, or as part of orthodontic treatment. If extraction is necessary, we’ll make sure you feel comfortable and well cared for throughout the process.
Sleep appliances
The symptoms of snoring can be relieved with an MDSA splint by repositioning the jaw in a way that opens up the airway, allowing for better breathing. Bruxism, also known as teeth grinding, occurs during sleep and times of stress. A night splint is one way to help if you are experiencing painful facial muscles, frequent headaches, earaches or excessive tooth wear!
Children’s dentistry
We suggest a first visit around three years of age, once all the baby teeth have emerged. We make it fun with a ride in our chair, counting and polishing baby teeth. We monitor that the permanent teeth are emerging correctly preventing major orthodontic problems in the future. Regular visits ensure the development of good oral habits. Let’s teach children how to care for their teeth!

Mouth guards
Unfortunately, trauma to the front teeth is quite common. The best protection comes from custom-fitted mouthguards, which offer superior comfort and safety for your teeth. Stay safe while enjoying your contact sports!
