A Beautiful, Healthy Smile that lasts a lifetime is our ultimate goal when treating all our patients and our periodontal and implant patients.
It is very important to see your Oral Hygienist at least every 6 months. The Oral Hygienist does a thorough cleaning and can advise you on any potential problems. By having a professional scale and polish on a regular basis you can prevent extensive and expensive dental work in the future. Prevention is better can cure!
Your personal daily Oral Hygiene plays an important role in achieving that goal. Your personal home care starts by eating balanced meals, reducing the number of snacks you eat, and correctly using the various dental aides that help control the Bacterial Plaque that cause periodontal gum disease and around teeth and around implants (peri-implantitis).
Tooth brushing – Brush your teeth at least twice to three times a day (especially before going to bed at night) with an ADA approved soft bristle brush and a small amount of toothpaste.
1. Place the brush at a 45-degree angle to the gums and gently brush using 6 small circular motions, and then rolling up 3 times. Start on the upper right and do one tooth at a time and progress to the upper left. Then go to the tongue side of the upper left and return to the upper right side. Then go to the cheek side of the lower right and proceed to the lower left. Then move to the tongue side of the lower left and proceed to the lower right.
2. Brush the outer, inner, and biting surfaces of each tooth.
3. Use the tip of the brush to clean the inside of the front teeth. Place the brush lengthwise in the mouth.
4. Brush your tongue and roof of your mouth 6 times to remove Bacteria Plaque and to freshen your breath and improve taste.
The end tuft of the brush will be used on the back half of the last teeth and then in between all your teeth. Again, rotate in 6 circular motions and roll down or up 3 times.
Electric toothbrushes are also recommended. They are easy to use and can remove Bacterial Plaque efficiently. Simply place the bristles of the electric brush on your gums and teeth and allow the brush to do its job, one tooth at a time. By doing so you will overlap the previous tooth. Do not put excessive pressure on your brush as this will cause the bristles to flatten and will not clean properly.
Flossing – Daily flossing is the best way to clean between the teeth and under the gumline. Flossing not only helps clean these spaces, it disrupts bacterial plaque colonies from building up, preventing damage to the gums, teeth, and bone. A tooth has 5 surfaces and the tooth brush only gets to 3 of them. The dental floss will get to the other surfaces in between the teeth.
1. Take 60- 76 cm of dental floss and wrap it around your middle fingers, leaving about 5cm of floss between your thumb and index finger.
2. Using your thumbs and index finger to guide the floss, gently insert the floss between the teeth. Do not snap it in between the teeth in fear of traumatizing the gums.
3. Wrap the floss into a “C” shape around each tooth and under the gumline. Gently move the floss up and down, cleaning the side of each tooth. Only apply pressure to the floss as it moves toward the chewing surface. We want it to be “squeaky clean.” Whenever you go between two teeth you have two surfaces to clean.
Floss holders are recommended if you have difficulty using conventional floss.
Rinsing – It is important to rinse your mouth with water after brushing, and after meals if you are unable to brush. If you are using an over-the-counter product for rinsing, it’s a good idea to consult with your dentist or dental hygienist on its appropriateness for you.
Use other dental aids as recommended by your dentist or dental hygienist: Interdental brushes, rubber tip stimulators, tongue cleaners, irrigation devices, fluoride, medicated rinses, etc., can all play a role in good dental home care.
This is when the nerve inside the tooth dies and it causes pain. Treatment options available are to either remove the tooth or remove the nerve. It is obviously better to remove the nerve and fill the root canal as the pain will go away and the patient can keep the tooth. But when a tooth’s nerve is removed the tooth becomes brittle and may fracture or break depending on how much of the tooth has been damaged by decay. Therefore root treated teeth often need crowning (capping) to prevent them from breaking.
What makes a root treated tooth successful and gives it longevity is the quality of the root canal treatment. This means that all the canals need to be found, opened up and thoroughly cleaned to the full length of the root. The root canals are then filled with a rubber based filling material and a root canal sealer. This process can take between 2 and 3 hours over 1 or 2 visits. It is essential that the treatment is performed under microscopic magnification to achieve the best long term results.

Veneers are thin shells of ceramic that bond directly to the front and top surfaces of the teeth, for a bright white smile.
Dental veneers are custom-designed shells of tooth-like ceramic material that can cover more severe cases of worn tooth enamel, uneven tooth alignment, or spacing, chips and cracks.
Regardless of what causes unattractive teeth, dental veneers are a great option in the treatment of many cosmetic dental smile issues.
Porcelain veneers are thin shells of ceramic that bond directly to the front and top surfaces of the teeth. They are an ideal choice for improving your smile and have become increasingly popular due to their simplicity and versatility. Dental veneers that are bonded over the front surface of a tooth can be used to cover up worn down tooth enamel, slightly crooked teeth (instant orthodontics), close gaps between teeth and cover chips or cracked teeth. Veneers can be fabricated to any shape or colour enabling you to sit down with your dentist and design your smile just the way you want. They can give you a perfectly aligned symmetrical white smile and with the translucent quality of ceramic materials available today, they provide a totally natural look.
With advances in technology, composite veneers are also available as a less expensive alternative to porcelain veneers. They create a bright, white smile with beautifully aligned, shapely teeth. Because dental veneers are so thin, they might require little or no tooth reshaping when bonded onto the tooth, making it strong and a more conservative option to full crowns.
Will they look like normal teeth?
When bonded to the teeth, the ultra-thin porcelain veneers are virtually undetectable and resistant to coffee, tea, or even cigarette stains. Because they are thin, light can shine through them and they may take on the natural colour of the underlying tooth.
How Durable Are Porcelain Veneers?
Dental veneers can last for up to 15 years depending on the quality of material used for the veneers and how well you look after them. However, they will eventually need to be replaced. Just like normal teeth, veneers require regular cleaning, flossing and checkups with the hygienist.
The Procedure
This procedure will require three appointments:
1. Diagnosis and treatment planning – You will want to take an active role in planning your smile design. Your dentist will discuss all aspects of the procedure with you in detail. Together you can discuss your expectations and help plan your new smile. This is facilitated using Digital Smile Sequence (DSS) and/or Digital Smile Design (DSD).
2. Preparation and impressions / scanning – The second appointment will take one to two hours depending on how many teeth are being veneered. Although the porcelain veneer is very thin, the teeth are lightly shaped to allow for the added thickness. Approximately one half of a millimetre of tooth is removed. This may require some local anaesthesia. Then a mould is taken of the teeth and sent to the laboratory for fabrication. In some cases, a temporary veneer will be placed at this time which will also give you an opportunity to assess what the shape, fit and look of your new teeth will be like. The permanent veneer should be ready in approximately one to two weeks.
3. Bonding – At the time of your third appointment, the veneers are first placed on your teeth with water or glycerine to check the fit and colour. At this point, the colour and shape of the veneer can still be adjusted by the laboratory technician. Once the colour is determined and the veneer is ready to be applied, the tooth is cleaned with specific chemicals to achieve a bond. Special cement is placed between the teeth and the veneer and a visible light beam is used to harden the cement. This appointment takes approximately one to two hours depending on how many teeth are being veneered.
Maintenance of Your New Veneers
Brush and floss as you normally would do. Don’t be afraid that you will damage your veneers by doing so. Non-abrasive toothpaste is recommended. A good home care regimen will insure the best aesthetic success of your veneer. You may experience some sensitivity to hot and cold after placement of your veneer. This is due to the amount of enamel left on the tooth after preparation. Sensitivity may vary and should dissipate in a few days.
Sealing grooves or pits on molars can prevent decay and is an important part of preventing harmful carious lesions.
From a primary prevention perspective, anatomic grooves or pits and fissures on occlusal surfaces of permanent molars trap food debris and promote the presence of bacterial biofilm, thereby increasing the risk of developing carious lesions or tooth decay.
Effectively penetrating and sealing these surfaces with a dental material—for example, pit-and-fissure sealants—can prevent lesions/decay and is part of a comprehensive caries management approach.
From a secondary prevention perspective, there is evidence that sealants prevent and can also inhibit the progression of noncavitated carious lesions.
The use of sealants to arrest or inhibit the progression of carious lesions is important to the clinician when determining the appropriate intervention for noncavitated carious lesions.
We restore damaged or defective teeth with high quality composite restorations, including rubber dam protection.
We restore carried teeth with high quality composite restorations. There is no failure of restorations because of the protection we use called a rubber dam which is a latest barrier.
This protects against volatile mercury when removing old amalgam fillings and bacteria. We do not do amalgam dentistry, only tooth-coloured restorations and if placed correctly these have a 20-30 year longevity.
Orthodontics is the use of fixed or removable appliances like braces to correct alignment of teeth and bite function.
What is Orthodontics?
Orthodontics is the use of fixed or removable appliances like braces to correct alignment of teeth and bite function, but they may be used in conjunction with other orthodontic appliances. Braces apply continuous pressure to move teeth in a specific direction to bring about the right alignment and bite function. The treatment period lasts from as little as 6 weeks to three years, depending on the level of movement required and the type of brace that is used.
Who can benefit from Orthodontics?
It’s important to visit a dentist or an orthodontist to discover whether you could benefit from orthodontic treatment. Diagnosis will vary, and can include examinations, taking models of your teeth, x-rays and CBCT scans.
Some of the conditions that require orthodontic treatment include:
1. Crowding – There are too many teeth for the space in your mouth.
2. Overbite – The upper front teeth are too far forward – they protrude over the lower teeth.
3. Underbite – The lower teeth are too far forward, so that your upper teeth are too far back.
4. Open Bite – You may have problems with the space between your teeth when they bite together, either between the front or the side teeth.
5. Crossbite – Your upper/lower teeth come down across the front of your lower teeth when you are biting together normally.
6. Spacing – Your teeth may have gaps between them, often because some teeth are missing, or because your small teeth just don’t fill the space in your mouth. There are several reasons for a bad bite to develop and cause problems when chewing or talking. This could be due to damage to teeth that have been fractured or knocked out. Prolonged thumb sucking, or tongue thrusting can also cause a mal alignment of teeth causing the upper teeth to protrude.
Types of Braces
Due to recent innovations in dental technology, there are now more options for tooth realignment than ever before. These are some of the options available:
1. Metal or Ceramic braces with brackets bonded to the teeth – Traditional silver braces are the most commonly known and cost-effective style of braces. They have brackets that are excellent in design and functionality, that result in the most efficient and precise movement of the teeth. They can also be decorated using colour combinations and patterns as preferred by the user.
2. Ceramic braces – Made of a high-tech glass-like composite material. They are more expensive. They are quite strong and resistant to most stains, including those caused by foods, coffee, curry, smoking, etc.
3. Invisible Braces – Invisible braces are ideal for those who do not have severe malocclusions. They comprise of custom-made treatment trays that have been computer-fabricated according to the jaw structure. They do not cause irritation to gums and are stain resistant. There are many different types of clear aligner systems such as Invisalign, Simpli5 and Clearstep.
4. Lingual braces – These are attached to the back surfaces of the teeth. They are traditional metal braces with wires, but they are not visible from the front surfaces of your teeth and so have the advantage of being invisible to everyone else. These facilitate less control over tooth movement and have to allow for 6 months longer treatment time.
5. Inman Aligners – The Inman Aligner is a newcomer to the market; it achieves rapid teeth movements and is used for problems related to minor movements of the upper and lower front teeth.
6. Friction-free Damon braces – Damon braces offer a lower-friction solution to teeth straightening and boasts faster treatment times than other traditional metal braces.
Periodontics involves a comprehensive process of measuring pocket depths around teeth and treating bacterial vulnerabilities.
Gum Disease
The treatment of Periodontics requires a thorough comprehensive consultation process of measuring pocket depths around each tooth and a doing a HAIN bacterial analysis to target specific bacteria to enable specific antibiotic cover for the periodontal therapy. The diagnostic procedure includes full mouth radiographs. The treatment involves, under local anaesthetic, root planning therapy of all root surfaces. This involves using specialised instruments (scalers and curets) per quadrant of teeth.

This is the fabrication of full acrylic centures, partial dentures and chrome cobalt steel reinforced partial dentures.
This is the fabrication of full acrylic dentures (false teeth), partial dentures and chrome cobalt steel re-inforced partial dentures.
If a patient is dentureless a new set of dentures can be fabricated within 3-5 visits.
This is the preparation and reconstruction of severely broken-down teeth into crowns, bridges, inlays and onlays.
This is the preparation and reconstruction of severely broken-down teeth into crowns, bridges, inlays and onlays. This involves the services of a dental laboratory which digitally manufactures the structure. Severely broken teeth or cracked teeth are built up with a core material and then prepared into a stump of which a conventional or digital impression is taken and sent through to the lab for fabrication.
This type of restorative treatment can involve a single tooth, several teeth, or all the teeth, in which case a full mouth reconstruction is needed (make over dentistry). Within the realm of cosmetic dentistry a digital smile design (DSD or DSS) can be performed which may involve veneering the front upper and/or lower 10 teeth within the envelope of the smile i.e. the aesthetic zone).
It is common in this treatment modality that the “pink versus the white” aesthetics is considered i.e. the amount of tooth vs the amount of gum that is shown during smiling, which requires a specific balance. This balance is different for different people but is divided through the “golden proportions” of the smile design.
Crowns
A crown, sometimes known as a cap, is the ideal solution if one of your teeth has broken or become significantly weakened due to an excess of decay or a large filling. As opposed to removing the damaged tooth, this type of dental restoration is used to strengthen the existing tooth structure and to preserve its usefulness. Your tooth may require a crown if the damage to it is so great that the remaining tooth is too weak to support a standard restoration. Similarly crowns can be used to strengthen and protect teeth after root canal therapy, or are used in place of a fractured or cracked tooth. Patients who grind their teeth or who have bad oral habits can fall prey to erosion. This can cause a reduction in your tooth material and could mean that a crown is the only option available to restore the tooth.
What types of crowns are there?
Crowns can be made from a variety of materials and even combinations of different materials. However some materials are more aesthetically pleasing than others. For example, crowns made from a combination of metal and porcelain may create highly visible dark gum lines over time. If you’re going for a natural look then it’s usually recommended that you opt for a porcelain or zirconia crown. The cost of crowns varies according to what material is used, with the price often reflecting the quality of the material. The life of a crown can depend on your oral hygiene and just like natural teeth, your dental crowns need looking after. If you maintain a good level of oral hygiene and have regular dental check ups, then a crown made from a quality material can last of 5 to 10 years or more.
Some of the most frequently used types of crown include:
1. Gold Crowns – Although not as aesthetically discreet as other types of crowns, gold crowns are still the best option for many patients. If you grind or clench your teeth then the strength and durability of a gold crown is right for you. Zirconia crowns have commonly replaced gold crowns today.
2. Ceramic Crowns – By far the most aesthetically discreet option, ceramic crowns are one of the most popular types of crown. There are several advantages to not using any metal. Firstly ceramic crowns allow light to be transmitted which creates a more life-like look for your crown. Similarly as there’s no metal, the crown can be used to treat areas with a small amount of space available. With new innovations in the durability and strength of ceramic crowns, it can also be used in areas of the mouth which undergo heavy usage.
The Procedure
Before having a crown fitted you will first consult with your dentist for a thorough examination and to discuss the various treatment options. The tooth will then be prepared for the crown by firstly giving it a thorough cleaning and removing any decay. Your dentist will need to reshape the tooth by using a special dental drill known as a burr. This is done so that the crown will be able to fit correctly over your tooth.
After the preparation is complete, you will have a dental putty impression or digital intra oral scan impression taken of your tooth to be sent off to the laboratory. At the laboratory, the impression of your tooth will be used as a basis to create your crown. This can typically take a couple of days/hours to complete.
Whilst you wait for your custom-made crown to be ready, it is usual to be fitted with a temporary crown to protect the tooth. Once the final crown has been prepared, your dentist will detach the temporary crown and prepare your tooth with a special kind of acid which improves the bonding process. After testing that the crown fits properly, your dentist will then use dental cement to bond the crown into place. It is very important to maintain a high level of oral hygiene as crowns require the same care as natural teeth. It’s usually advised that you avoid grinding your teeth and to avoid chewing hard foods or ice as this may damage or fracture the crown.
Are crowns right for you?
If you’re experiencing a problem with your tooth then crowns might not always be the best option. There are many less invasive treatments which can help to strengthen a damaged or decayed tooth. For example, composite tooth coloured dental bonding or veneers can be used to adequately protect the tooth without the lengthy crowning procedure. However in some cases crowns will be the only option due to the fact that other types of restoration are only effective if the tooth is strong enough to support them.
Bridges
Dental bridges are dental restorations used to replace one or more missing teeth. Dental cement is used to keep the bridges in place, making this type of cosmetic dentistry long lasting and effective. Most bridges are made up of a false tooth, known as a pontic which is attached to neighboring teeth using dental Crowns which serve to hold the false tooth in place.
The Treatment
To create your dental bridge some alterations to the neighbouring natural teeth may be required in order to make sure that there is sufficient room for the supporting crowns. An impression/intra oral scan mould of your teeth will be made by your dentist using specialized impression or scan. The mould of your teeth is sent off to a special laboratory where the bridge will be custom-made.
Bridge Options:
1. Porcelain fused to a metal structure – This is the traditional and most documented material used. The dental technician expertly shapes and blends porcelain onto a metal structure, onto which the porcelain then gets fused. This gives a strong framework that is very durable and aesthetic but is no longer the treatment of choice.
2. Porcelain EMAX or Zirconia structure – A metal free option. Zirconia is an extremely strong porcelain-like structure that mimics tooth structure. The zirconia replaces the metal framework, giving a more aesthetic result.
3. Maryland Bridge – A great aesthetic option that entails very little preparation of the neighbouring teeth. The Maryland Bridges are made up of a specialized resin or porcelain which is cemented directly onto the enamel of the adjacent teeth by means of a “wing” attachment. Due to the light preparations involved there’s no need to expose the part of your tooth known as the dentin. This eliminates the risk of the procedure creating sensitivity to your teeth. The process is usually completely reversible but also viewed as a semi permanent solution, while preparing for implant treatment options.
Caring for your bridge
As with all dental restorations, it is important to maintain a decent level of oral hygiene. If you take good care, your bridge may last upwards of ten years. As your bridge is still vulnerable to damage caused by insufficient brushing and excessive intake of sugary foods and drinks, it is therefore vital that you care for your bridge(s) as you would your natural teeth.
It is vital to engage in an oral hygiene programme with the hygienist at least three times annually.
Implants
Benefits of Dental Implants
When you lose a tooth, you lose both the root and the crown. To replace the tooth, we first replace the root with a small dental implant. Time is allowed for the bone to heal and grow around the dental implant. The bone bonds with the titanium, creating a strong foundation for artificial teeth. A support post (abutment) is then placed on the implant and a new replacement tooth (crown) is placed on top of the abutment. In many cases, a temporary replacement tooth can be attached to the implant immediately after it is placed.
Dental implants can replace any number of missing teeth, from a single lost tooth to a full mouth reconstruction.
Dental implants can give you back your confidence
Missing teeth can change every aspect of your life, from the way you eat to the way you express yourself. Tooth loss changes your appearance, which often results in a loss of self-esteem. It is more common than you might think. Over 30 million people have suffered tooth loss in one or both jaws.
It’s important to take action to restore your tooth function and appearance as quickly as possible to avoid the consequences of tooth loss such as:
Teeth whitening aims to restore the whiteness to natural tooth enamel to give you a more youthful smile.
Developed by internationally renowned cosmetic dentist and bleaching expert, Dr. Rod Kurthy, the KöR Whitening System is used by thousands of dentists worldwide and is widely considered to be the most reliable and effective whitening system ever developed.
The KöR Whitening system has proven to consistently produce whiter, brighter smiles in patients. In fact, the KöR system is so effective, it is the only recognized whitening system that whitens tetracycline-stained (dark) teeth in a short time (previously considered impossible). And due to its advanced formulation and continuous refrigeration of the whitening gels, there’s little to no sensitivity during the whitening process.
The Unique KöR-Seal Trays
A key to the effectiveness of the KöR system are the unique KöR-Seal™ trays used for at-home whitening. These trays are made of thin clear flexible vinyl and are carefully fabricated to fit precisely to your teeth. Most patients find these trays extremely comfortable to wear and have no trouble sleeping with them. These unique KöR-Seal trays allow room for bleaching gel to be kept in contact with the teeth, and they seal at the gum line so that gel is not diluted, or washed away, by saliva. This ensures the maximum whitening results.
And the KöR Whitening System is perfect for patients of all ages, including teenagers and baby boomers.
How Does KöR Whitening Work?
The KöR Whitening System works by restoring your teeth’s ability to absorb oxygen. The oxygen from KöR’s whitening gel is absorbed deeply into your teeth, dissolving all stain molecules, leaving your teeth incredibly white. And KöR Whitening products have been clinically proven safe on thousands of patients without harming teeth or gums.
The KöR Whitening System is a safe, effective, and convenient cosmetic dentistry procedure that can improve the appearance of teeth to restore self-esteem and self-confidence.
So, if you’re too embarrassed to smile, have dark-stained teeth, or just simply want a whiter smile, the KöR Whitening System offers the best in whitening science, and is by far the best whitening system available today.
Injection moulding is a restorative technique used to accurately shape and place composite resin into a prepared mould.
Injection moulding in composite dentistry is a minimally invasive restorative technique used to accurately shape and place composite resin into a prepared mould or index. A clear silicone or vacuum-formed matrix is first created from a diagnostic wax-up or digital design that reflects the ideal tooth shape. Flowable or heated composite resin is then injected into the mould, which is positioned over the teeth, allowing the material to adapt precisely to the desired contours before light curing.
This technique is commonly used for additive procedures such as composite veneers, diastema closure, edge bonding, and full smile rehabilitations.
Overall, injection moulding offers a controlled, conservative, and highly aesthetic approach to composite restorations in a minimally invasive and accurate way.
Advantages of injection moulding in composite dentistry
The Bioclear method is a minimally invasive bonding technique used to close black triangles and spaces between teeth.
Use of Bioclear for Closing Black Triangles and Diastemas
The Bioclear method is a minimally invasive composite bonding technique used to close black triangles (open gingival embrasures) and diastemas (spaces between teeth). It utilizes anatomically shaped, clear mylar matrices that wrap around the tooth, allowing the clinician to create ideal emergence profiles and smooth, convex contours that support the papilla and improve aesthetics.
After proper isolation and tooth preparation (often minimal or no drilling), heated composite is injected and sculpted within the Bioclear matrix. The system helps eliminate flat or over-contoured restorations by producing natural tooth anatomy and seamless contact areas. This technique not only improves the appearance of spaces and dark triangles but also enhances periodontal health by creating cleansable, well-contoured surfaces.
Advantages of Bioclear
Overall, Bioclear provides a conservative, aesthetic, and biologically respectful solution for managing black triangles and diastemas.
Facial aesthetics using Botox involves the use of small, precise injections to temporarily relax targeted facial muscles that cause wrinkles.
Facial aesthetics using Botox (botulinum toxin) involves the use of small, precise injections to temporarily relax targeted facial muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles. By reducing muscle activity, Botox softens lines such as frown lines (glabellar lines), forehead creases, and crow’s feet, creating a smoother and more refreshed appearance while maintaining natural facial expression.
A key part of treatment is facial mapping, a detailed assessment of facial anatomy, muscle movement, symmetry, and expression patterns. During facial mapping, the practitioner evaluates how the muscles function at rest and in motion to determine optimal injection sites and dosing. This individualized approach enhances safety, balance, and natural-looking results.
Treatment is minimally invasive, typically takes 10–20 minutes, and requires little to no downtime. Results begin to appear within a few days, with full effect in about 1–2 weeks, and generally last 3–4 months. Regular maintenance treatments can help preserve results and may even reduce wrinkle formation over time.
Treatment of TMJ disorders focuses on reducing pain, improving jaw function, and addressing the underlying cause.
Treatment of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders focuses on reducing pain, improving jaw function, and addressing the underlying cause (such as muscle tension, joint inflammation, or teeth grinding).
Temporomandibular joint disorders are a group of more than 30 conditions that cause pain and dysfunction in the jaw joint and muscles that control jaw movement. “TMDs” refers to the disorders, and “TMJ” refers only to the temporomandibular joint itself. People have two TMJs; one on each side of the jaw. You can feel them by placing your fingers in front of your ears and opening your mouth.
Many TMJ disorders last only a short time and go away on their own. However, in some cases they can become chronic, or long lasting. In addition, TMJ disorders can occur alone or at the same time as other medical conditions such as headaches, back pain and sleep problems.
There are a few ways to treat TMJ disorders.
Conservative treatments (first-line):
Advanced or adjunctive treatments:
Surgical options are reserved for severe, refractory cases.
Most TMJ disorders improve with conservative management, and treatment is individualized based on whether symptoms are primarily muscular, joint-related, or both.
