General Dentistry
Ask a questionGeneral Dentistry
Our mission is to offer a progressive range of treatments that help you keep a healthy smile, combat gum disease and to ensure that your own natural teeth are preserved as much as possible. This means that tooth extraction will only be carried out when absolutely necessary. We call this minimally invasive dentistry.
Our general dentistry treatments listed below are designed to help you regain an optimal level of oral health, especially after incidences of gum disease or tooth decay.
PERIODONTAL CLEANING
When gum problems evolve they become periodontal disease, it is important to carry out a more thorough clean in order to get rid of the solidified plaque and tartar which could harbour the infection.
FILLINGS
Fillings are used when you experience early tooth decay which result in external damage of the enamel and dentin. Your dentist will remove the decayed portion of the tooth and fill the area painlessly and with materials which blend in with your tooth colour.
ROOT CANAL TREATMENT
A root canal treatment is carried out when the diseased core of a tooth is likely to cause an infection and needs to be removed. In order to repair and avoid tooth extraction, one of our dental professionals will take away the diseased centre of the tooth in which the nerves are situated and cover it with a shielding cap.
BROKEN TEETH TREATMENT
If you have broken a tooth, there is a chance that it will need to be removed to avoid spreading infection. Depending on the severity of the damage, your dentist will recommend substituting the broken tooth with a choice lifelike prosthetic appliance so that no one will be able to tell.
ORAL CANCER SCREENINGS
Oral cancer has been reported to be amongst the cancers which are the most frequently detected. The prevalence of oral cancer has gone up by 25% over the past decade with indulgence in tobacco and/or alcohol being the main causes. When detected early, this type of cancer is not life threatening as figures show that 90% of people who receive early treatment are cured, whereas a delay in treatment lowers the figure to 50%.
