You should have your teeth thoroughly examined and cleaned at twice a year along with intraoral x-rays every 2 to 3 years. Regular preventative dental examinations and cleans are essential in preventing small dental problems becoming major dental issues. The dentist is checking your teeth for cavities, inspecting the health of your gums, examining your jaw action, searching for any swelling, testing your biting action and reviewing your medical history.

If your teeth become damaged, lost or simply worn over time, there are a number of options available to treat these problems. If teeth are lost, then dental implants, dentures or bridges may be an option for you. If a tooth needs rebuilding, then crowns, inlays or onlays could be the solution. For cosmetic changes teeth whitening, veneers and bonding are amongst some of the treatments that you could consider. We will determine the best treatment option for your individual situation.

Most people are aware that smoking poses a serious problem to general health. What is less well known is the effect it has in the mouth. About 5 times more smokers develop oral cancers than non-smokers and invariably suffer some degree of gum or periodontal disease. Some heavy smokers get decay even if they are brushing well from nicotine effects. We recommend immediately stopping smoking and attend the dentist for oral screening. Regular check-ups will ensure any concerns are identified early.

Achieving optimal dental health can provide positive benefits to your wider general health. Just a few of the major benefits dental treatment may provide patients can include: Improved confidence and self-esteem Improved oral health and general wellbeing Improved facial appearance Improved comfort Improved speech Improved dietary habits.

Teeth whitening is a safe, comfortable way to get a bright, white smile. Results and treatment time may vary depending on the level of staining and whiteness desired. Crowns, bridges, fillings, and veneers will not whiten. We recommend visiting your dentist for a pre-whitening consult so that they can help you choose the professional option that best fits your needs.

The great news is that, yes, most stains—even those caused by medication—can be dramatically improved. However, different stains require different treatment times. When it comes to teeth whitening, it's important for you to understand the causes behind discoloration or staining so you and your dentist can choose the whitening treatment that will provide the best results.

Dental professionals train for many years to understand the structures of the mouth, to recognise dental disease and to prescribe the correct treatment for each individual patient. We recommend visiting your dentist for a pre-whitening consult so that they can carry out an appropriate clinical examination to make sure that there are no risk factors or any other oral pathology concerns.

The chemicals used to whiten the teeth, could permanently damage the teeth and gums. To protect the community against this type of damage, it is highly recommended that the person providing the treatment must be fully dentally qualified. Tooth whitening may seem to be simple. However, because the chemicals used actually sink into the tooth surface, it could cause permanent damage to the tooth surface.
