FAMILY DENTISTRY

COMPLETE EXAM 

A complete dental examination is a thorough assessment of your overall oral health. During your visit, our dentist will carefully examine your teeth, gums, jaw, and surrounding oral tissues to identify any existing or potential concerns. This includes checking for cavities, signs of gum disease, worn or damaged teeth, oral infections, and other dental conditions. We may also recommend dental X-rays when necessary to detect issues that are not visible during a visual examination. Regular comprehensive exams allow us to detect problems early, helping you maintain a healthy smile and prevent the need for more extensive treatment in the future.

FILLINGS  

Composite (tooth-coloured) fillings are a durable and aesthetically pleasing solution for repairing teeth that have been affected by decay, minor fractures, or wear. The composite resin is carefully matched to the natural shade of your teeth, providing a seamless and natural-looking restoration. After the decayed portion of the tooth is removed, the filling material is bonded directly to the tooth, restoring its strength, function, and appearance. 

EXTRACTIONS  

Although preserving your natural teeth is always our priority, tooth extraction may sometimes be the best option to protect your overall oral health. Extractions are commonly recommended for severely decayed or damaged teeth that cannot be restored, loose teeth caused by advanced gum disease, impacted or problematic wisdom teeth, or teeth that need to be removed as part of orthodontic treatment. Our team uses gentle techniques and modern anaesthetic options to ensure your procedure is as comfortable as possible. After your extraction, we will provide detailed aftercare instructions to promote proper healing and discuss suitable tooth replacement options if needed.

ROOT CANAL TREATMENT   

Root canal treatment is a highly effective procedure designed to save a tooth that has become severely decayed, infected, or damaged. When the inner pulp of the tooth becomes inflamed or infected, it can cause significant pain and, if left untreated, may lead to an abscess or tooth loss. During the procedure, the infected pulp and nerve tissue are carefully removed, the inside of the tooth is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected, and the root canals are sealed to prevent further infection. In many cases, a dental crown is recommended afterward to strengthen and protect the treated tooth. Root canal treatment allows you to keep your natural tooth, restore normal function, and relieve discomfort while avoiding extraction whenever possible.
