Regular visits to the dental hygienist for thorough cleaning of your teeth is important to help maintain healthy gums, and thereby preserve the stability of the bone and other tissues around the tooth. The frequency of your visits may vary depending on your general oral hygiene, your initial gum condition, and your susceptibility to gum disease. A family history of gum problems would also be a risk factor that may indicate the need for more regular professional dental cleaning.
We may recommend hygienist sessions before major dental work, or before, during, and after orthodontic treatment. This helps to ensure a healthy mouth and gums, and thereby improves treatment outcomes.
Patients with gum disease or gingivitis may need to have a treatment called deep cleaning, scaling, or root planning to remove plaque and bacteria that are growing under the gum line and damaging their teeth. This is a relatively simple procedure that usually takes two visits.
In some cases gum disease (periodontal disease) is too advanced to be managed with regular treatments. In these cases we would advise referral to our specialist periodontist who will assess, advise and treat the gum disease to maximise the effectiveness of treatment. Untreated gum disease can lead to serious health problems, both for the teeth, and for your general health.

Cosmetic bonding is an effective treatment to improve your smile in as little as one appointment.
A high-tech tooth-coloured resin is applied to the outer surface of the front teeth. The composite material is then shaped and finished to improve the appearance of stained, uneven, chipped, or decayed teeth. Cosmetic bonding can also be used to reduce gaps between teeth for a natural-looking smile.
When the nerve of a tooth becomes inflamed or infected, root canal treatment may be required.
A root canal is a dental treatment, performed under local anaesthetic, during which your dentist removes an infected nerve and dental pulp from within a tooth. In experienced and well-trained hands it should be a painless procedure. In most cases the only alternative would be to remove the infected tooth.
A denture is a removable replacement for missing teeth and surrounding tissues. We offer 2 types of dentures.
Acrylic dentures- these are the most commonly used denture type, and are relatively cost effective, allow for changes or alterations at a later stage, and are suitable for most situations. We may advise a rigid or a flexible version depending on your needs.
Chrome dentures- these use a custom-made metal frame that fits around your remaining teeth to give a tighter fit than other denture types. The teeth are fitted to the framework, usually with acrylic. They are the strongest denture option, but rely on the remaining teeth being stable in the long term.
A gum shield, also known as a mouthguard, is a custom-made, flexible rubber-like appliance that covers and fits exactly over your teeth and gums. They are recommended for most contact sports, and for work situations that involve a risk of falling or impact to the face. A custom-made gum shield is considerably stronger, better fitting, and more comfortable than those designed for self-fitting at home.
Bruxism is excessive teeth grinding or jaw clenching, and is very common. It is estimated that up to 35% of the general population is prone to some degree of this condition, and symptoms may be worn or cracked teeth, pain in the jaw joint, headaches, or locked jaw.
Nightguards or splints are custom made, and are worn at night time to protect your teeth and relax your jaw muscles. Nightguards help to prevent you from clenching or grinding your teeth and minimise any associated symptoms. In some cases we may also advise Botulinum toxin injections into the jaw muscles to help manage symptoms.
