General Dentistry

In your regular dental examination, we check for dental decay, gum disease, oral cancer or unusual wear on your teeth, as well as cleaning to remove the bad bacteria that causes these problems, and can give you bad breath!

In gum disease (periodontitis), bacteria and calculus deposits affects the gum and bone support structure of teeth. Surprisingly, gum disease rarely causes pain. If untreated, it can lead to tooth loss. That’s why we recommend regular professional cleaning.

A dental implant is placed in the jawbone, with a crown on top. With time, the implant integrates (joins) with the bone. An implant is an excellent option to replace missing teeth. It can replace a single missing tooth, multiple teeth, or support a denture.

The temporomandibular joint (jaw joint) is a very important joint, used daily in speaking and chewing. Clicking, or pain in the joint, as well as grinding or clenching your teeth, can result in problems of the joint.

Professionally made mouthguards worn during sport protect teeth from dental trauma. In people suffering from bruxism (grinding) or temporomandibular disorder, splints protect teeth and jaw joints from wear and tear

For patients with diagnosed obstructive sleep apnoea, a mandibular advancement device can aid in treatment of this.
