Care at the practice
These are the treatments carried out at the practice.
-
Examination and diagnosis
A full examination of the mouth finds problems early, including ones that have gone unnoticed for a long time.
-
Hygiene and prevention
Scaling, cleaning and hygiene advice are the basis of oral health. Followed well, they keep teeth and gums healthy over time.
-
Aesthetic dentistry
Aesthetic treatment corrects the shape or colour of teeth and the tissue around them when disease, injury or the natural shape of the teeth has changed them.
-
Surgery
Oral surgery is carried out at the practice, with techniques that limit after-effects.
-
Rehabilitation
Restoring a good bite brings back chewing efficiency and prevents the problems that follow from losing it. Each prosthetic solution is planned in detail as part of a complete treatment plan that respects your wishes.
-
Implants
A dental implant is a small screw placed in the bone to replace the root of a tooth. It is made of titanium or zirconia, materials the bone bonds to directly: this is called osseointegration.
-
Orthodontics
Orthodontics corrects the position of the teeth and jaws. It improves chewing and the look of the smile, and treats problems with jaw growth and tooth development.
-
Periodontics
Periodontics treats the tissues that surround and support the tooth: gingivitis, periodontitis and receding gums.
-
Endodontics
Endodontics treats injuries and diseases of the dental pulp, the vessels and nerves that keep a tooth alive and sensitive. This is root canal treatment.
-
Fixed prostheses
Crowns, bridges, inlays, onlays and veneers stay in place all the time. They blend into the mouth and give chewing close to that of natural teeth. Like natural teeth, they need daily care.
-
Removable prostheses
When a fixed prosthesis isn’t suitable, a partial or full removable denture is still an option. It comes out every day for cleaning. It is easy to look after and usually costs less than a fixed prosthesis, but is less comfortable. It needs regular checks and relining to prevent decay and gum inflammation.
