Below, you can read more about our general dentistry services.
Checkups
The best thing you can do for your teeth and gums (aside from brushing and flossing regularly!) is to have regular checkups. We recommend that you visit us biyearly so that we can clean your teeth and examine them. We’ll be able to identify any problems early before they can become more complex and address them immediately. If you have certain conditions, such as gum disease, we may discuss the necessity of more frequent checkups with you.
Dentures
Dentures are a simple, cost-effective way to replace multiple missing teeth or all missing teeth. Though they’ve been used for decades, today’s dentures aren’t anything like those of the past. They’re available in full or partial formats depending on how many teeth you need to replace. You can choose from different materials to suit your needs and budget. Every denture is custom-created to suit the individual.
Emergency Care
You can’t plan for emergencies. Trauma to the teeth, gums, mouth and jaw is no different. Dentists are trained to address a broad range of dental emergencies. Lost teeth, damaged crowns and fillings and jaw injuries are just a few of the concerns that our team can help you with. If you think that you may be experiencing an emergency, the best bet is to contact us straightaway to get the advice you need.
Snoring and Sleep Apnoea
Loud, interrupted snoring may mean that you have obstructed sleep apnoea. This condition can leave you feeling exhausted from waking up dozens or even hundreds of times during the night. Your airway is collapsing while you rest, preventing you from getting the oxygen you need. We can fit you with a custom sleep appliance worn while you sleep to make sure you breathe easy and get a good night’s rest.
Fillings
Even people who brush and floss regularly may find that they have a cavity. Tooth decay can happen to adults and children alike.
If you experience a cavity, we can provide a tooth-coloured filling. Your filling will blend in perfectly with the rest of your teeth so that nobody knows it’s there.
Root Canal
We believe in keeping all your existing teeth in your mouth whenever possible. A root canal treatment is one option that can prevent you from needing to have a tooth extracted. It involves cleaning out an area of infection, then sealing it off so that bacteria can’t re-enter. The last step is to have a beautiful dental crown fitted over your compromised tooth to give it greater strength.
Sedation Dentistry
Does the idea of going to the dentist make you feel apprehensive or dread your visit? We have a qualified anaesthetist on staff that can administer intravenous sedation. This solution is ideal for people who have dental phobia. It can be suitable if you would like to have several procedures completed at one time.
Extractions
Having a tooth extracted is always a last resort. We’ll evaluate you, then go over all possible treatment options. If we decide that an extraction is the way to go, our gentle, experienced team will ensure that you are comfortable each step of the procedure. Afterwards, we’ll give you tips so that you recover quickly.
Wisdom Teeth Extractions
Your wisdom teeth are the last to erupt in your mouth. Usually, they will come up in your late teenage years or early twenties. Though they may grow in with no complications, it’s common that they can’t erupt as they should due to crowding in the mouth. They can cause a range of issues, which is why we may recommend an extraction.
Our team will gently perform the procedure, making sure that you are comfortable the entire time.
