Fluoride Varnish Application

Fluoride varnish is a quick and painless treatment used to strengthen tooth enamel and prevent cavities. It is especially effective for children. The varnish is applied to the surface of the teeth, helping to remineralise weak spots and reduce the risk of decay.

How it works:

The fluoride varnish is brushed onto the teeth and hardens quickly. It gradually releases fluoride into the enamel, strengthening the teeth and making them more resistant to acids.

Life benefits:
  • Protects against tooth decay.
  • Strengthens teeth, especially for children.
  • A quick and painless preventative measure.

Fissure Sealants

Fissure sealants are protective coatings applied to the grooves of the back teeth, where food particles and bacteria can easily get trapped. By sealing these areas, fissure sealants help prevent cavities, particularly in children and teenagers.

How it works:

A thin layer of resin is painted onto the chewing surfaces of the molars, filling in the deep grooves and creating a smooth surface that’s easier to clean.

Life benefits:
  • Helps prevent tooth decay in children and teens.
  • Painless and quick to apply.
  • Reduces the need for fillings in the future.

Tooth-Coloured Filling

Tooth-coloured fillings, also known as composite fillings, are used to restore decayed or damaged teeth while maintaining a natural appearance. You can also have any existing metallic fillings replaced with tooth-coloured or ‘white’ fillings. This will allow you to smile without a metallic glint in sight, giving the teeth a more natural appearance overall.

How it works:

This is a safe procedure that entails the removal of any decay from your tooth, and taking out the metal or amalgam fillings if you are having them replaced. The new filling is made from a very hard tooth-coloured substance and will withstand the forces in your mouth when you bite and chew over a long period of time. The restoration is completed in one visit and the fillings will not be visible when you smile.

Life benefits:
  • Natural-looking restoration.
  • Improved cosmetic appearance of filled teeth while still being able to bite and chew as usual.
  • Hard-wearing restorative solution.

Tooth-Coloured Crowns

Tooth-coloured crowns are caps placed over damaged or decayed teeth to restore their shape, size, and appearance. These crowns are made from materials like porcelain or resin to match the colour of natural teeth.

How it works:

The tooth is reshaped to fit the crown, and an impression is made. A custom crown is then created and cemented onto the tooth, providing protection and improving the tooth’s function.

Life benefits:
  • Enhances the appearance of damaged teeth.
  • Protects teeth from further damage.
  • Provides a long-lasting solution for weakened teeth.

Metal Crowns

Metal crowns are a durable solution for restoring teeth that are severely damaged or decayed. While they may not blend as seamlessly with natural teeth, they are incredibly strong and ideal for molars.

How it works:

The tooth is prepared, and an impression is taken. A custom metal crown is created and securely placed over the tooth, offering long-term protection and strength.

Life benefits:
  • Extremely durable and long-lasting.
  • Ideal for back teeth that endure heavy chewing forces.
  • Provides excellent protection for compromised teeth.

Silver Diamine Treatment

Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF) is a non-invasive treatment used to stop the progression of tooth decay, especially in children. It’s a quick and painless way to treat cavities without drilling or anaesthesia.

How it works:

SDF is applied to the decayed area of the tooth. The silver helps kill bacteria, and the fluoride helps remineralise the tooth, effectively halting the decay process.

Life benefits:
  • Stops tooth decay without drilling.
  • Ideal for children with dental anxiety.
  • Prevents further damage to the tooth.

Root Canal Treatment for Baby Teeth

Root canal treatment for baby teeth, or pulpotomy, is performed when the tooth’s nerve has been infected due to decay or trauma. This treatment saves the baby tooth until it naturally falls out, maintaining space for adult teeth.

How it works:

The infected part of the tooth is removed, and the remaining space is filled with a special material. The tooth is then restored with a crown or filling.

Life benefits:
  • Preserve the baby tooth until it’s time for it to fall out naturally.
  • Prevents the need for early extraction.
  • Maintains space for permanent teeth.
BOOK AN APPOINTMENT
Root Canal Treatment for Adult Teeth

Root canal treatment for young adults involves removing the infected or damaged pulp inside the tooth, allowing the tooth to be preserved. This treatment is often necessary to save the tooth and prevent extraction.

How it works:

The infected tissue is removed, the inside of the tooth is cleaned and disinfected, and the space is filled with a special material. A crown is typically placed on top for added protection.

Life benefits:
  • Saves the natural tooth.
  • Prevents infection from spreading.
  • Restores normal function to the tooth.

Bridges

Bridges are fixed dental restorations used to replace one or more missing teeth, anchored by adjacent teeth or implants.

How it works:

The teeth adjacent to the gap are prepared, and a custom-made bridge is secured in place, restoring function and aesthetics.

Life benefits:
  • Restores your smile and ability to chew properly.
  • Prevents teeth from shifting.
  • A durable and long-lasting solution for missing teeth.

Resin Infiltration

Resin infiltration is a minimally invasive treatment used to stop the progression of early-stage cavities. It’s also used to treat white spots on teeth, often caused by orthodontic treatment or demineralization.

How it works:

A special resin is applied to the tooth and penetrates the enamel, filling and strengthening it. The resin hardens, stopping further decay or the appearance of white spots.

Life benefits:
  • Prevents further decay without drilling.
  • Treats white spots and improves aesthetics.
  • Painless and quick.

Microabrasion

Microabrasion is a cosmetic treatment used to remove superficial stains and discolouration from the enamel. It’s especially effective for white spots and other surface irregularities.

How it works:

A combination of mild abrasive materials and acidic compounds is gently applied to the enamel, removing the discoloured outer layer.

Life benefits:
  • Removes superficial stains and spots.
  • Improves the overall appearance of the teeth.
  • A quick and minimally invasive procedure.

Removable Appliance

A removable appliance is an orthodontic device used to correct minor dental issues, such as crowding or alignment, and is often used as part of early orthodontic treatment.

How it works:

The appliance is custom-made and fitted to your mouth, typically worn for several hours a day to guide the movement of teeth.

Life benefits:
  • Corrects minor alignment issues.
  • Can be easily removed for cleaning.
  • Helps prevent more complex orthodontic problems.

Tooth-Coloured Veneers

Tooth-coloured veneers are thin shells of porcelain or composite resin that are placed over the front surfaces of the teeth to improve their appearance. Veneers are a good treatment option to consider for stained, chipped, or not-aligned teeth because they look like natural teeth and don’t require a major procedure. Veneers can also be used to close small gaps when braces are not suitable. If one tooth is slightly out of position, a veneer can sometimes be fitted to bring it into line with the others.

How it works:

A veneer is a very thin, tooth-coloured piece of porcelain (like a false fingernail, but more durable) that is bonded on top of the tooth. The shape and size of the veneers can be adjusted to make the teeth overall look longer and or closer together.

Life benefits:
  • Simple and quick solution to improve the cosmetic appearance of teeth.
  • Long-lasting smile enhancement.
  • Natural-looking restoration

Removal of Baby Teeth

The removal of baby teeth, or primary teeth, is necessary when the tooth is severely decayed, damaged, or preventing the proper eruption of permanent teeth.

How it works:

The tooth is gently extracted to prevent infection or alignment issues, ensuring that the permanent teeth can come in properly.

Life benefits:
  • Prevents overcrowding or misalignment of adult teeth.
  • Reduces the risk of infection or decay spreading.
  • Ensures a healthier development of the permanent teeth.
BOOK AN APPOINTMENT
Removal of Adult Teeth

The removal of adult teeth is typically necessary when a tooth is too damaged to be saved by other treatments, or when it causes overcrowding.

How it works:

The tooth is carefully extracted, and depending on the case, a replacement option such as an implant or bridge may be discussed.

Life benefits:
  • Prevents further infection or complications.
  • Alleviates pain and discomfort.
  • Helps maintain overall oral health.

The gum is gently lifted to expose the impacted canine, and a bracket is bonded to the tooth, allowing it to be guided into place with orthodontics.

Life benefits:
  • Ensures the proper alignment of the canine tooth.
  • Prevents crowding or spacing issues.
  • Improves the overall appearance and function of your smile.
