Cosmetic dentistry
Our approach to cosmetic dentistry is integrated and holistic. What we mean by this is that in order to achieve an ideal smile, different dental techniques and disciplines may need to be utilised. Orthodontics may be required for alignment and to correct facial dimensions.

Restorations, simple or complex to restore facial anatomy and tooth structure, and finally we use bleaching to brighten and whiten your perfect smile. We will assess and discuss with you your desired result and requirements and options to achieve them.

Teeth Whitening
This process is a one off and one appointment procedure taking only one hour to complete. It lasts indefinitely and does not deteriorate in our experience. It is possible to re-bleach after a twelve month interval but it is normally not necessary.

Prosthetic dentistry
We undertake all those procedures required to replace lost teeth in the dental arch. This may be replacement of the total arch. That is, a full immediate denture to replace teeth sacrificed as a result of terminal gum disease or partial replacement where teeth have been lost over a number of years.

It is important to realise that in order to preserve any remaining teeth the dentist may neeed to operate on those teeth to prepare them for a supporting role.

General and family
In providing normal dental care for children we utilise preventive techniques to control dental decay, such as fissure seals (back tooth seal) and fluoride treatments.
Our highly qualified and very experienced nurses and dental therapist (they have young children themselves), encourage our youngest patients to be calm and confident in a situation that may be stressful for them. This is essential for successful treatment outcomes with children.

Our main focus in treating young people is to ensure that their facial development reaches its optimal potential. Our long experience and expertise in this field, (over 15 years), enables us to monitor a child’s facial growth. We plan ahead and intervene at an early stage to correct, with various appliances, abnormalities which commonly occur in  the three dimensions of facial bone growth. We place particular emphasis on the correct joint position and jaw interrelationship.

Occlusal therapy
This is a common therapy in our practice which recognises chronic pain or headache in the vicinity of the jaw joints which may extend into the neck muscles. There will sometimes be “clicks” in the joint and restriction of jaw function.

Basically, the muscles are in spasm; “cramping”. It is a dental problem which many health professionals have attempted to treat and more often than not with frustrating and unsatisfactory results.

It is also known as Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction (TMJ/TMD). The treatment is simple when you understand the problem since the teeth act as guidance for the joint position. When this is incorrect the musculature is overstretched and goes into spasm. We correct this by changing the guidance of the teeth themselves or by taking the guidance out with a splint.

Periodontal treatment
This is an aspect of preventive dentistry which involves advanced oral hygiene techniques and practices. We are able to supply all the prescribed requirements such as electric brushes, stimulators and oral rinses from our waiting room stock. Our staff will help you select the most appropriate one for you.

Periodontal or gum disease is the number one cause of tooth loss in people over forty. It is entirely preventable and the great tragedy is that most people are unaware they have it until its terminal stages. Even if they are, they do not know what to effectively do about it. Also it is now associated with people who have a higher incidence of heart disease. In the greater majority of cases treatment is simple and relatively inexpensive. We will take you through it step by step.

Endodontics
Commonly known as Root Canal Treatment or Therapy . We routinely use this treatment to save and retain teeth that have undergone severe trauma via accident or advanced dental decay. Sometimes teeth will just die as a result of large restorations or long term abuse. Root canal therapy has an unenviable reputation, almost as a music hall joke. It has a reputation for unpredictability, pain and discomfort. In our experience this is needlessly so. The techniques and medications we use cause minimal discomfort and even complicated molar treatment is usually completed within three appointments.

Oral surgery
We undertake most aspects of dental surgery including the removal of cysts, roots and impacted “wisdom teeth”. Teeth are sometimes removed before the placement of immediate dentures. Because the unnecessary removal of teeth breaks the stability of the dental arch we assess each case carefully.
We will refer cases that involve multiple wisdom teeth, young children and those cases inappropriate for outpatient treatment.

Orthodontics
My practice philosophy incorporates orthopaedic, orthodontic and orthognathic approaches to correct problems with development of the face, the bite (occlusion) and alignment of the teeth.  To get the best result in a minimum of time, a combination of these techniques may be used for your treatment.

The ideal outcome for “orthodontic” treatment is for the teeth to be in a harmonious, stable and aesthetic relationship. The supporting facial bone structure in its correct dimensions is then able to enhance each individual’s good looks and appearance.

Orthodontics- Is the branch of dentistry that specialises in the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of problems regarding the alignment of the teeth and jaws. Orthodontics is traditionally carried out in children although treatment can be successful at any age, we are happy to undertake adult orthodontics when appropriate.

Orthopaedics- Our main focus in treating young people is to ensure that their facial development reaches its optimal potential. Our long experience and expertise in this field, of over 15 years, enables us to monitor a child’s facial development. We plan ahead and intervene at an early stage to correct, with various appliances, abnormalities that commonly occur three dimensionally in the growth of the upper and lower facial bones. We place particular emphasis on the correct joint position and jaw interrelationship. This modern concept of early intervention; normally about 8 years of age, largely eliminates the necessity for tooth extraction at 13 years when treatment has unfortunately been delayed. Most importantly, the correct facial dimensions have now been established (orthopaedics). The movement of teeth with “braces” (orthodontics) may not be required and, if so, is relatively simple over a minimal period of 12 months or so.

Our goal is to provide you with personal treatment of the highest standard utilising modern equipment and superior materials.  Our clinical endeavour is backed by superior laboratory services and technical support.

We assess the needs of each patient individually so we can then tailor-make a treatment plan to specifically suit your needs; we want you to be actively involved in the planning of all your treatment.
Also to help make treatment easier for everyone, we provide the following services:
