DENTAL MAKEOVERS
Everyone has the right to a healthy mouth and a beautiful smile. We wish to ensure people do not remain in the dark and that they make informed decisions. We have state of the art surgeries all equipped to enable the clinician to use the best techniques available in Dentistry today.
FIRST IMPRESSIONS ARE IMPORTANT
When we first meet a new person there is a subconscious way that our brains and eyes interact with this person. Normally your eyes scan from their eyes, to their nose and then to their mouth. Only then would the rest of the body follow. Any stained, missing or chipped teeth will be held in memory and will be used to construct that First Impression – If you’ve lost confidence in your smile, we can help you get it back!
COSMETIC DENTISTRY
Have you got total confidence in your smile? Do you have fresh breath? Are you happy with the appearance, shape and colour of your teeth? Modern dentistry has a dazzling array of techniques and systems to build a healthy, attractive and confident smile.
WANT WHITER, BRIGHTER TEETH?
A great option for you might be a professionally administered tooth whitening system. Patients with natural teeth that are discoloured due to age, smoking or other extrinsic staining factors are excellent candidates for tooth whitening. Bleaching does not work as well on teeth that have intrinsic staining. The results will vary from patient to patient. Patients with deep intrinsic stains can have other cosmetic options such as veneers and crowns to help achieve the desired results.
DENTAL IMPLANTS
The lifestyle change which can take place can be quite simply earth shattering. Tooth loss affects millions of South Africans. Conventional tooth replacement methods, such as bridges and dentures, are not always the answer for many people due to the frustration and embarrassment created by poor fit or maintenance problems.
ENDODONTIC (Root Canal) TREATMENT
It used to be that if a tooth was infected or the nerve in the tooth was dying, the tooth would have to be extracted. In modern times because of a procedure known as root canal treatment the infection can be treated, the injured nerve removed and the pain associated with such symptoms alleviated.
FISSURE SEALANTS
An increasingly popular treatment in dentistry is making it possible for kids to slip through childhood without a single cavity. When parents ask their dentists what are the best ways to prevent their children from getting cavities, dentists often respond “SEALANTS!”
Kids will still have to:
• brush
• floss
• visit their dentists
Sealants can cut molar cavities by more than 50 percent, and can be especially helpful in areas without fluoridated water. The dental sealant is one of the most revolutionary materials available for protecting our children’s teeth. For the past 18 years, a new generation of children have been enjoying the benefits of protective sealants.
KIDDY CARE DENTISTRY
Air abrasion provides an alternative to the high-speed hand piece for removing decay from tooth structure. Its many purported advantages compared to traditional preparation procedures include:
• less invasive, more conservative treatment
• reduced need for local anesthetic
• earlier and more accurate diagnosis which reduces under- or over-treatment
• reduction or elimination of vibration, chipping, and micro-fracturing
• pain free procedures
