TREATMENT

DESCRIPTION

Initial Consultation

One to One Meeting with our dentist to discuss your current situation and the dental treatment options that are available to you

Dental X-Ray

 Dental X-rays are pictures of the teeth, bones, and surrounding soft tissues to screen for and help identify problems with the teeth, mouth, and jaw. X-ray pictures can show cavities, hidden dental structures (such as wisdom teeth), and bone loss that cannot be seen during a visual examination

Panoramic X-Ray

 Panoramic X-rays give a broad overview of the entire mouth. This X-ray supplies information about the teeth, upper and lower jawbone, sinuses, and other hard and soft tissues of the head and neck. One advantage of the panoramic X-ray is its ease of use. The panoramic film is contained in a machine that moves around the patient's head. Some people may be familiar with the panoramic X-ray because it is usually taken when the wisdom teeth are being evaluated. Very useful for implant patients to assess bone density

Descale & Polish

Professional clean which will remove plaque and stubborn stains. A regular descale & polish is imperative to ensure your dental hygiene is kept in check.

Zoom 2 Teeth Whitening Home Kit

A dental technician will make the tray you use for bleaching your teeth at home from an impression of your teeth that your dentist has made. Your dentist will check the tray fits and show you how to put the jelly in the tray at home.

Zoom 2 Teeth Whitening Dentist Administration

As above, but the dentist will administer the product when you are in the dentist chair.

Teeth Whitening with Lazer

The Laser gel, which is specially formulated to work effectively with the Lazer machine, increasing the efficiency of the whitening process. The dramatically shorter treatment time avoids excess heat & sensitivity common to other whitening devices, promoting patient comfort, safety, and self-confidence.

White Fillings

White Fillings, which are also known as composite resin. White Fillings do not contain mercury and are an ideal choice for achieving long term strength in filled teeth. Teeth that are heavily filled with large silver amalgam or mercury fillings are at risk of fracturing because the tooth is spread apart.

This allows teeth to be safely and aesthetically restored achieving a more attractive smile.

Root Canal Treatment

When a tooth becomes very painful due to damage to the pulp, or develops an abscess, then root canal therapy may be the only way to save the tooth.

This treatment is done by removing the nerve and filling the root canal, and then restoring the tooth.

Tooth Extraction

Tooth extraction involves having one or more teeth completely removed from your mouth by a dentist. This can be carried out at one appointment or over a few sessions. Depending on the reason, you may or may not need to have the teeth replaced. Your dentist will be able to advise you about what this will involve. Having a tooth removed, takes minutes and is no longer a painful procedure.

Metal Based Crown

*Silver Base Metal which has porcelain infused in the colour of your choice

A dental crown is a tooth-shaped "cap" that is placed over a tooth – covering the tooth to restore its shape and size, strength, and/or to improve its appearance.

The crowns, when cemented into place, fully encase the entire visible portion of a tooth that lies at and above the gum line.

Why Is a Dental Crown Needed?

A dental crown may be needed in the following situations:

To protect a weak tooth (for instance, from decay) from breaking or to hold together parts of a cracked tooth

To restore an already broken tooth or a tooth that has been severely worn down

To cover and support a tooth with a large filling when there isn't a lot of tooth left

To hold a dental bridge in place

To cover misshapen or severely discoloured teeth

To cover a dental implant

Zircon Based Crown

* White Base Metal which has porcelain infused in the colour of your choice

As above, except the base metal is a white metal so the crown is more aesthetically pleasing for a long period of time. Recommended for front teeth only.

Veneer

*By Empress, Ivoclar Vita

Dental veneers have long been used to create the ultimate smile makeover. With this treatment, it's possible to transform crooked, stained, damaged or badly worn teeth into a brand new, straight, white smile, as seen on many of the Hollywood stars.

Veneers are wafer-thin laminates or shells of tooth-coloured material (which can be either porcelain, ceramic or composite bonding material). They are cemented to the front surface of teeth to improve their cosmetic appearance. Many dentists use the analogy that dental veneers are for your teeth what false fingernails are for your hands.

Lumineer

*By Empress, Ivoclar Vita

The main difference between a Veneer and Lumineer is that Lumineers are made from special patented porcelain that is very strong but much thinner than traditional laboratory-fabricated veneers. Their thickness is comparable to contact lenses. The main advantage of these ultra-thin veneers is that minimal tooth preparation is required. In other words, very little - if any - of your natural tooth structure needs to be removed through shaving or grinding prior to bonding the Lumineers over your natural teeth. As a result, the procedure is often reversible, since your natural tooth structure is left intact, unlike traditional veneers, where a significant amount of your tooth structure may need to be removed

Laminate Composite

Metal Based Crowns

*Silver Base Metal which has porcelain infused in the colour of your choice

Losing a tooth through an accident or injury or as a result of decay can be very traumatic. It can affect the way you look and the way you speak, as well as compromising your ability to chew. Furthermore, the gap left by the missing tooth can strain the teeth on either side causing them to lean into the gap, trapping food debris and causing further decay. 

To improve appearance and function, and to prevent further damage, we recommend a dental bridge to fill the gap. The new tooth connects to the two remaining healthy teeth on each side

As above, except the base metal is a white metal so the crown is more aesthetically pleasing for a long period of time. Recommended for front teeth only.

Full Set of Removal Dentures

This is a plate with a number of false teeth on it. It may be all plastic or

metal and plastic. Both types may have clips (clasps), which fit around

the natural teeth. Sometimes these clips may show when you smile or open your mouth. The teeth on the denture are usually made of plastic, very occasionally

porcelain. The teeth are chosen to match the shape, size and colour of

your natural teeth.

Plastic partial dentures are less expensive to make than bridges. But

even when they are designed very carefully, they can damage the teeth they fit against.

Dental Implant

(Highest Quality Available)

XIVE, ITI, Asta Tec

People lose teeth all the time, either through trauma or due to decay, gum disease or old age. Whatever the reason for losing your teeth, they need to be replaced, both for aesthetic and functional reasons. Dental implants are now becoming a more popular treatment to replace missing teeth, as they provide a longer-term solution, slow down bone loss and preserve nearby healthy tooth tissue.

A dental implant is an artificial substitute/replacement for the root portion of your natural tooth and is anchored into a pre-drilled socket in your jaw-bone to support a crown, bridge or secure a denture firmly in place. Implants are made from titanium, a material that is well tolerated by bone and integrates easily with bone tissue. During the placement of a dental implant, the goal is to achieve a close contact between the outer surface of the implant and the surrounding bone tissue so they can fuse together (osseointegration), creating a stable support for the new teeth.

Same as 2.1 above. The only difference is that the crown is suitable for an Implant.

Zircon Based Crown suitable for Implant

* White Base Metal which has porcelain infused in the colour of your choice

Same as 2.2 above. The only difference is that the crown is suitable for an Implant.

Crown Removal

Removal of an existing crown.

Bridge Removal

Removal of an existing Bridge.

Gum Shield

An impression of your teeth is taken and our laboratory will create a perfect mould of your teeth that you are able to use while to are sleeping to prevent grinding and damage to your teeth

Inlay/ Onlay

If a cavity in a tooth is particularly large, your dentist may suggest an inlay instead of having a regular filling.

In very large cavities you need a material that is going to 'bond' to your remaining tooth structure rather than just filling in the hole.

An Inlay is specifically designed in a laboratory to ensure it fits the cavity of your tooth like a filling. The exception is that the materials and glues involved in this procedure are far superior to anything your dentist can do on the spot, and are custom made for you.
