On your first visit, once you’re settled into our comfortable chair, your dentist will aim to use this time to get to know you better. We listen to any of your concerns regarding your oral health and your smile, discuss the positives and negatives of previous dental experiences, and really obtain in-depth background knowledge in our management and care for you.
A thorough examination of the head and neck region is performed, as these areas are in close relation to oral and dental health.
In the mouth, the hard and soft tissues, including the tongue and cheek, are also screened for any signs of undesirable conditions such as oral cancer. Dentists are at the frontline for early detection of these conditions which reaffirms the importance of regular dental check-ups.
Lastly, the teeth and gums are examined and charted for signs of disease and defects.
Specific tests are also performed to diagnose dental conditions such as cracked teeth, or to test the health of the nerve within a tooth. These help our dentists reach a comprehensive and accurate diagnosis in order to provide high quality dental care.
At times, your dentist may recommend dental X-ray radiographs for you. Dental radiographs are necessary to aid in diagnosis where direct visual examination is not possible, particularly between the teeth and underneath old fillings.
Periodic follow-up X-ray radiographs are recommended based on a risk assessment of each individual.
Our brand new practice has modern, state-of-the-art dental equipment. We have invested in digital radiography, whereby images are recorded on a sensor and transferred immediately for storage and viewing on the computer. Not only is this very efficient as the radiograph can be viewed almost instantly, but it also further reduces the already low dental radiation exposure to our patients. We have also found this to be more environmentally friendly as it means we don’t need to dispose of the harmful conventional radiograph processing chemicals into the environment.
Radiography is a vital diagnostic tool to supplement visual examination. Your dentist may recommend dental radiographs to accurately detect problems which may not be outwardly visible. This includes dental decay between the teeth, dental cysts and abscesses, bone loss, and other dental abnormalities.
We are passionate about preventing diseases because it’s the best way to ensure longevity of health.
Practising the right toothbrushing and flossing techniques, as well as having a balanced diet, play a big part in ensuring our teeth are well maintained and reducing the risk of dental disease. We will advise you on a good oral hygiene regime which is tailored for your individual circumstances.
We recommended a preventative visit every 6 months. If there were any early signs of disease, they are quickly addressed. This saves our patients time and money, avoids painful problems, and they always have a good dental experience.
Teeth vary in shape and sizes between individuals – they are all unique!
On some teeth, especially the molar teeth, there are deep grooves and pits that are prone to retaining plaque. This may eventually cause a cavity on the tooth, as toothbrush bristles are not able to brush away the plaque in these narrow grooves. Sometimes the grooves appear dark and stained which is a very good indicator that they have been retaining plaque consistently.
Our dentists can seal these high-risk grooves with a resin-based white fissure sealant, effectively changing the shape of the narrow grooves into a smoother surface.
This significantly reduces the risk of a cavity, and makes it a lot easier for the patient to brush effectively too. Fissure sealants are an excellent preventative treatment option which aims to minimise the need for fillings.
Fissure sealants must be maintained and checked regularly to ensure they are still intact and performing effectively. Thus, it is important that patients attend for their 6-monthly dental check-ups.
Everyone is unique and certainly mouthguards are not “one size fits all”!
We make custom-fitted sports mouthguards in your favourite colour to ensure utmost dental protection, whilst looking stylish on the field.
Custom-fitted mouthguards are comfortable, secure, and provides a level of safety far more superior than off-the-shelf mouthguards.
Tooth Mousse strengthens tooth structure by replenishing minerals that may have been lost from the tooth. It is made up of calcium and phosphate ions suspended within a milk protein – these ions are the “building blocks” of natural tooth structure.
Tooth Mousse is best applied just before bed every night, and it is suitable for both adults and children for prevention of dental decay, as well as reversing the effects of early dental decay. It is also used for patients with sensitive teeth and erosion, and widely recommended as part of the dental treatment regime for patients suffering from medical conditions causing dry mouth, vomiting and reflux.












Wisdom teeth are the last teeth to erupt into the mouth and are located at the very back of the mouth.
They are the 3rd molars. There are usually 4 wisdom teeth although some people may have 1 or more missing.
They usually come through between the ages of 18-25years old, however they can erupt much later as well.
A common misconception is that all wisdom teeth need to be extracted. This is not always true, although sometimes there are valid reasons for having them taken out.
These are some of the reasons why we would recommend extracting one or more of your wisdom teeth:
If you get any pain, swelling, difficulty opening your mouth, swollen glands or gum/cheek irritation, it is recommended that you have your dentist check the area so that we can give sound advice on how best to manage your individual situation. We will usually obtain a full mouth radiograph (OPG) so that we can check the position of the wisdom tooth/teeth.
Management of your wisdom teeth may involve symptomatic pain relief with painkillers, instructions on how to clean your wisdom teeth with mouthwashes & brushing, and in more serious situations, antibiotics or wisdom tooth removal.












Our friendly team love seeing kids, and our dentists are very experienced in treating children. We’ve tried to make our practice as child friendly as possible with a toy area in the waiting room, and colouring in to do as well! Some kids don’t want to leave because they have so much fun with us!
We recommend that your child’s first dental visit can be any time after they turn 1years old. We make the first dental visit really fun so that children are introduced to the dental environment with a very positive experience. Early detection of dental problems will usually result in less complicated treatment, and better treatment outcomes. In this first visit, we will also talk about good diet & oral hygiene practices with parents and patients so that good habits are established right from the start.
Baby teeth are vital in speech development & eating, and also pave the way to proper jaw development and growth. Baby teeth maintain space for the eruption of adult teeth, so if a baby tooth has to be extracted before it is due to naturally fall out, there is more chance that your child will need orthodontic treatment.
We recommend that children attend every 6 months for a dental check-up so that if there are any dental problems, we can pick them up early, and so that we can continuously check and assess your child’s oral hygiene practices.












Our gums and jaw bone form the foundation of our teeth. The presence of plaque, bacteria and calculus (hardened/calcified plaque) around our gums can initiate a biological chain reaction, which unfortunately leads to destruction of gum and bone tissues around the teeth. In the early stages, there may be inflammation of the gums without any irreversible damage. The gums may appear swollen, reddened, and quite commonly bleed during toothbrushing and flossing. This is known as gingivitis & is quite common.
At your regular dental check up we measure your gum & bone levels and conduct a thorough scale & clean if you need it. A scale and clean to remove deposits of plaque and tartar, in combination with good daily toothbrushing and flossing, is usually very effective in reducing gum inflammation and reducing the risk of gingivitis progressing into sometime more irreversible.
For more active and severe gum diseases, a deep scale and clean under local anaesthesia is required to achieve healing of the gum tissues. This may sometimes warrant a referral to a gum specialist (periodontist) for treatment. Regular examination visits are then required to ensure the gum disease is not recurring.
As the gum disease progresses, symptoms that may arise include loosening and drifting of teeth, sensitivity and pain, bad breath, a bad taste in your mouth, and development of abscesses. In very severe cases, teeth can spontaneously fall off due to extensive destruction of the supporting tissues.












Fillings are required to restore a tooth to the original shape when tooth structure had been lost due to dental decay, wear, or fracture. The tooth may present with varying degrees of sensitivity, and may experience pain with specific stimulants (e.g. hot/cold, chewing).
Dental decay or dental caries is a process where tooth structure is weakened or lost due to a number of factors.
The most common way of decay progression is a result of acid by-products when bacteria in the mouth digests nutrition provided by dental plaque.
Therefore regular toothbrushing and flossing to remove plaque is so important to cut off the nutrition source for these bacteria, hence preventing dental decay.
Dental caries is one of the most common and most prevalent diseases in the world.
It can start and progress without any warnings or symptoms, and when symptoms arise the tooth is usually significantly more compromised.
We recommend routine examinations at least every 6 months to enable early detection of any dental decay. Treating the dental decay in its early stages, is far better than leaving the tooth at risk of larger problems.
Absolutely! Tooth-coloured filling materials are constantly improving, and they are the material of choice for most of the fillings we do.
Tooth-coloured resins require less natural tooth preparation, and in some cases can even strengthen tooth structure.
Early decay lesions of teeth are often reversible.
In these cases, minerals have been lost from the dental enamel without a surface cavity. With good oral hygiene habits and a good diet, there is the potential to replenish the minerals in these areas, returning the enamel to full strength.
This process is made possible by early detection of dental decay lesions, and regular follow-up visits to ensure everything is progressing on the right track.
