treatments | dentistry
Our dentistry treatments include:
New patient consultations
30 minute appointments (which allows time for a thorough discussion and examination including x-rays and photos when appropriate.)
Regular examinations and routine examination for our existing patients.
The frequency of these appointments is set based on the individual treatment needs and wishes.
Hygienist services
From routine care and advice to help our patients keep their mouths as healthy as possible to treatment of advanced periodontal (gum) disease.
Our team of 3 hygienists provide excellent,
comfortable treatment.
X-rays
X-rays enable your dentist to view any potential diseases of the teeth and surrounding tissue that cannot be seen with the naked eye. By having a simple X ray taken, your dentist is then best able to find and treat dental problems early in their development.
Tooth coloured fillings
All our fillings are amalgam free and match the colour of natural teeth
Root canal treatment
Root canal treatment is needed when the tooth is extensively damaged either as a result of decay or injury. Although a fairly lengthy procedure it is quite painless.
Extractions
In the event that we can offer no other treatment for patients that have severely damaged teeth that need to be removed, we first talk with our patients to find out whether they have any particular concerns or phobias. If necessary we are able to offer sedation to patients who are particularly concerned. We have successfully treated many patients who fall into this category.
Photo Activated Disinfection - PAD
Photo-Activated Disinfection (P.A.D) is a unique and patented method of providing a powerful anti-bacterial dental treatment. It is a major advance in minimising invasive procedures and helps you to keep your own teeth for longer. This technology allows us to complete root canal treatment quicker and more effectively and in some cases avoid the need for root canal treatment all together
PAD provides a 'kind' and effective treatment that eliminates 99% of oral bacteria in patients.
