General Dentistry

We believe that good oral hygiene, a healthy lifestyle and regular dental visits are the best way maintain a healthy mouth. We believe in preventative dental treatment, which means our goal is to maintain your dental health and achieve your desired cosmetic outcomes with the least invasive treatment possible.

A preventative dental approach aims for prevention or early detection of potential problems, such as gingivitis, periodontitis and decay. We therefore recommend a thorough dental check-up every 6 to 12 months.

Dental check-ups usually involve:

• A thorough examination, focusing on your teeth, gums and soft tissue
• Two bite-wing x-rays, to examine inside your teeth and below your gum line (x-rays are generally only required every 1 to 2 years)
• Scaling and polishing of your teeth
• A discussion surrounding any concerns or dental queries you may have
• An evaluation and discussion surrounding possible cosmetic smile enhancements
• An evaluation and recommendation of required treatment and your options (this is provided to you in the form of a dental treatment plan)

A healthy mouth requires maintenance. In addition to your regular dental check-ups, we recommend that you endeavour to maintain good oral hygiene habits at home. This can be achieved by following a few simple steps:

• Thoroughly brush and floss your teeth every day
• Use a toothpaste that contains fluoride
• Limit your sugar intake – it’s about frequency not quantity. We also recommend that you brush your teeth after eating sweet foods.
• Don’t smoke
• Avoid acidic food and drink
