Diagnostic dentistry is a crucial aspect of dental care that focuses on the identification and assessment of oral health issues. Through various diagnostic tools such as X-rays and thorough clinical examinations, we can accurately detect conditions like cavities, gum disease and abnormalities in tooth alignment. We can identify any suspicious lesion and refer to hospital promptly for further investigation. Early diagnosis is key in preventing the progression of dental problems, ultimately leading to better treatment outcomes and preserving overall oral health.

These services typically include professional mechanical removal of plaque bacteria, tartar and stain removal, application of fluoride treatments and dental sealants to protect against decay. Our hygienists will also educate patients on oral hygiene techniques and where necessary provide comprehensive Periodontal Treatment.

Dental fillings are common restorative treatments used to repair teeth damaged by decay, cracks, or fractures. During the procedure, your dentist will remove the decayed or damaged portion of the tooth and will fill the cavity with a suitable material to restore its shape, function, and strength.

Root canal treatment, also known as endodontic therapy, is a dental procedure performed to save a tooth that is severely decayed, infected, or damaged. This treatment aims to alleviate pain, halt the progression of infection, and preserve the natural tooth, thus avoiding the need for extraction.

Dental crowns, also known as caps, are versatile dental restorations used to restore the shape, size, strength, and appearance of a damaged tooth. Crafted from various materials such as ceramic, metal alloys, or a combination of these materials, dental crowns are custom-made to fit over the entire visible portion of a tooth above the gum line. They are recommended for teeth with extensive decay, large fillings, fractures, or after root canal treatment.

Dental onlays and veneers are both used to improve the appearance and function of teeth, but they serve slightly different purposes. Onlays, also known as partial crowns, are custom-made restorations designed to cover and protect a larger portion of a damaged or decayed tooth. They are typically used when a tooth has extensive damage that cannot be repaired with a simple filling but still retains enough healthy structure to avoid the need for a full dental crown. Onlays are fabricated to fit precisely onto the affected tooth, restoring its strength, shape, and function while providing long-lasting protection.

Dental veneers are thin shells made of porcelain or composite resin that are bonded to the front surface of teeth to improve their appearance. Veneers are commonly used to correct cosmetic imperfections such as stains, chips, gaps, or misalignments, creating a natural and aesthetically pleasing smile.

Dental bridges are fixed prosthetic devices used to replace one or more missing teeth by bridging the gap between adjacent natural teeth or dental implants. They consist of artificial teeth, which are anchored in place by crowns or metal frameworks attached to the neighboring teeth or implants. Dental bridges restore the appearance of a complete smile, improve chewing and speaking abilities, and prevent adjacent teeth from shifting out of position.

Dentures are removable dental appliances used to replace missing teeth and surrounding tissue. They are custom-made to fit comfortably inside the mouth, restoring the ability to chew, speak, and smile with confidence. Dentures come in two main types: complete dentures, which replace all teeth in the upper or lower jaw, and partial dentures, which replace only a few missing teeth and are supported by remaining natural teeth or dental implants.

Dental extractions involve the complete removal of a tooth. This procedure is typically recommended when a tooth is severely decayed, damaged beyond repair, or causing crowding issues. It may also be necessary for impacted wisdom teeth or to prepare for orthodontic treatment.

Tooth whitening, is a popular cosmetic dental procedure aimed at lightening the colour of teeth and removing stains and discolouration. This treatment is performed using a whitening agent which breaks down stains and brightens the tooth’s appearance. Tooth whitening can be performed in-practice by a dentist or at home using custom-fitted trays and professional-grade whitening gel.
