GENERAL TREATMENT

Are you satisfied with your smile? We provide various of dental treatments to create a charming smile. Sometimes all it needs is as simple as a dental filling, scaling, dental extraction or even an investigative dental X-Ray

Scaling & Polishing

A scaling and polish cleans your teeth very thoroughly. Scaling removes the hard tartar which forms on your teeth like scale inside a kettle. You can't remove it just by brushing your teeth. Scaling also removes trapped food and plaque containing millions of germs, which can cause tooth decay and gum disease. Stains from coffee, tea, cigarettes or red wine are also cleaned away when your dentist polishes your teeth.

Filling

A dental filling is a type of material which we use to restore the function, integrity and shape of missing tooth structure. This loss of tooth structure usually results from tooth decay or traumatic injury.

Types of Material:

Amalgam (silver filling)
Composite Resin (white filling)
Glass Ionomer
CementGold
Porcelain

Extraction

Tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth from its socket in the bone. Extractions are performed for a wide variety of reasons, but most commonly to remove teeth which have become unrestorable through tooth decay, periodontal disease or dental trauma; especially when they are associated with toothache.

What is a tooth extraction?

X-Ray

OPG X-RAY

An OPG is a panoramic or wide view x-ray of the lower face, which displays all the teeth of the upper and lower jaw on a single film. It demonstrates the number, position and growth of all the teeth including those that have not yet surfaced or erupted. An OPG may also reveal problems with the joint which connects the jawbone to the head, called the Temporomandibular joint or TMJ.

LATERAL CEPH X-RAY

Taken from the side of the face with very precise positioning so that various measurements can be made to determine the current and future relationship of the top and bottom jaw (maxilla and mandible) and therefore assess the nature of a patient's bite.

CONE BEAM CT (CBCT)

Cone Beam Computed Tomography provides fast and accurate visualisation of bony anatomical structures in three dimensions. CBCT scanning resolution is higher, with less artefact and scatter. The scan field of view can also be reduced to image of a particular site thus lowering the radiation exposure associated with each scan.

PERIAPICAL X-RAYS

Show the whole tooth from the crown, to beyond the root where the tooth attaches into the jaw. Each periapical x-ray shows all teeth in one portion of either the upper or lower jaw. Periapical x-rays detect any unusual changes in the root and surrounding bone structures.
