The most cost effective method of restoring a decayed or broken tooth is with composite resin filling material. The filling materials are usually set by blue ultra violet light. The latest resins are very strong and are shaded to match the exact color of the tooth. Traditional Amalgam fillings that contain harmful mercury are not used in any of our treatments.
Composite fillings are a much better alternative to silver amalgam fillings because they are none toxic and the final result is a virtually invisible restoration. We strongly advocate replacement of all amalgam fillings especially on allergy prone and medically compromised people.
Removal of unsightly amalgam fillings is one quick way in helping towards an all white smile and at the same time reducing the stress on your body’s immune system to mercury toxicity.
A more advanced way of restoring damaged teeth especially those with existing cavities is with the use of porcelain inlays.
Inlays are fillings that are custom made in the laboratory and are cemented into place. Porcelain inlays although more expensive than composite resins provide a stronger more durable and long term solution and should be considered as the treatment of choice in any long term dental makeover.
Many of our patients who are undergoing a dental makeover on their front teeth choose at the same time to have their unsightly dark silver fillings replaced with porcelain inlays so as to provide a total cosmetic improvement.
If you are unfortunate enough to have lost some or all of your teeth the most cost effective solution for their replacement is with the provision of removable dentures. These can be provided in full or partial forms depending on the degree of tooth loss. We provide the very best quality high impact resistant acrylic dentures with Swiss composite resin teeth in an extensive array of shades and sizes.
The Dental Centre patients who have suffered for years from loose uncomfortable dentures can visit us to have an assessment for implant-retained ones. This is one of the greatest breakthroughs in dental technology in the last decade and has improved the grip and security to many denture wearers who had given up with their teeth.
Have your dentures firmly anchored by the placement of just a couple of implants and see the difference it makes to your smile.
We provide a dental service for all the family from routine six monthly check ups and cleaning to the most advanced surgical and restorative dental procedure.
In offering comprehensive dental care we consider the importance of function as well as aesthetics. Your teeth must not only look great but must function well in order to help optimize your general health. For good oral health it is of paramount importance to consider not only the teeth but the health of the supporting gum and tooth (periodontal) tissues.
The successful outcome of any dental treatment depends greatly on our ability to maintain optimum levels of oral hygiene. Any complex dental makeover or implant procedure should start in a healthy disease free mouth.
All dental treatments should start with healthy gum and periodontal tissues. We offer the latest methods of plaque control and removal of dental tartar and staining. The bacteria present in dental plaque and tartar release acids responsible for the initiation of dental caries.
Chemical toxins also produced by these bacteria can if left unchecked lead to bleeding and inflamed gums a condition often referred to as gingivitis. If this situation is left uncontrolled then bone loss and damage to the ligament supporting the teeth can result; a condition often referred to as periodontitis. Once bone has been lost around the teeth it is difficult if not impossible to regenerate. Our treatments aim at eliminating the bacteria and calcified deposits of tartar found around the teeth that give rise to gingivitis and periodontal disease.
Where indicated ultrasonic cleaning and root planning techniques can be carried out under local anesthetic for added patient comfort.
In our advanced periodontal procedures we aim at charting and monitoring the amount of bone loss and pocket depths around the teeth. This helps us to establish a base line in order to measure future improvement and motivate our patients.
Of all the areas of dentistry, successful elimination of gum and periodontal disease lies to a large degree in the hands of the patient.
Success at all times is dependent on achieving optimum levels of oral hygiene and plaque control at home between dental visits. It is the responsibility of the dentist and dental hygienist to treat, motivate and educate our patients in fighting periodontal disease, however, the ultimate outcome lies predominantly in the hands of the patient.
