General Dentistry and Oral Healthcare
Our general dentistry services include:
Oral exams and check-ups
Regular oral exams are a critical aspect of complete dental care for your family. Our team usually takes about 30-45 minutes to conduct your complete oral exam to identify and fix your dental issues, including cavity filling, cleaning plaque and tartar, among others. An oral exam is also imperative to highlight more deteriorated issues that might show up during your oral check-up.
Cleaning
Visit your dentist regularly if you have long-standing plaque and tartar build-up issues to restore your teeth to their best condition. Tooth cleaning is a simple and effective practice, in the hands of experienced dentists that will leave you looking and feeling more confident.
Filling
Filling is a general practice to restore damaged teeth with cavities and hygiene-related issues. It is advisable to get tooth filling done as soon as possible to stop tooth decay spreading to your nerves, which will require more expensive treatments like a root canal.
Extraction
Whether it is a painful wisdom tooth or a damaged tooth that is beyond repair, tooth extraction may be required to provide comfort to the patient and avoid infection.
- Root canal
For root canal treatment, it is advisable to visit a trained dental team for quick and efficient work on degenerative teeth conditions. Our team routinely performs root canal treatments on young and old patients to provide relief and restore teeth that have been infected down to the nerves.
Teeth grinding (mouthguards)
Teeth grinding, also known as bruxism, is a condition wherein patients may grind their teeth consciously or unconsciously. This can lead to excessive tenderness and wear and tear. Also, the sound of grinding teeth may be slightly annoying to people around you. This innocent habit may lead to loosening of teeth and damage your jaws as well. We provide effective and easy mouthguard solutions to prevent tooth loss from grinding.
