Gum Care
Gum care addresses tartar buildup and inflammation caused by poor brushing habits. Our treatments target bacteria under the gums to prevent bone loss and tooth mobility. Regular cleanings and patient cooperation are vital for stabilising gum disease, which is linked to systemic health risks like heart disease.
Dental X-rays
Dental X-rays detect hidden decay and monitor tooth health beneath the gum line. Fluoride reduces visible decay but makes early detection harder, requiring periodic imaging. We use X-rays every 1-2 years to identify issues before they escalate into severe cavities or abscesses.
Root Fillings
Root fillings treat infected tooth nerves by removing damaged tissue and sealing the space. This procedure saves abscessed teeth that would otherwise require extraction. Modern techniques make root treatments routine, preserving natural teeth and avoiding more invasive replacements.
Cosmetic Treatments
Cosmetic treatments enhance smiles through veneers, whitening, and contouring. Porcelain veneers mask discoloured teeth, while custom trays lighten enamel safely. Crowns and reshaping address structural imperfections, offering both functional and visual improvements for confident, long-lasting results.
Anti-snoring Appliances
Anti-snoring appliances reposition the jaw to open airways during sleep. These custom devices reduce or eliminate snoring, improving sleep quality for patients and partners. Fitting involves moulds and adjustments to ensure comfort and effectiveness, with success rates around 62% for complete noise reduction.
