Teeth Whitening
Most people notice a discolouration or yellowing of their teeth with age. Staining of the inside and outside layers of the teeth occurs as a result of many different factors including the eating and drinking of sugary, acidic or darkly-coloured substances such as fruit, tea, coffee, fizzy pop and wine, inadequate dental hygiene, trauma to […]

Dentures
Tooth loss and gum damage can cause irritation and pain as well as discomfort and social embarrassment. Replacing deteriorated gum tissue and missing teeth, removable dentures help to restore confidence by giving a younger and more attractive appearance.

Fillings
Despite routinely flossing and brushing our teeth, our oral health can be put greatly at risk by the eating and drinking of sticky, sweet substances. As the permanent bacteria in the mouth continually excrete acid on our teeth and gums, the enamel on the tooth’s surface begins to erode. Even though enamel is the toughest […]

Hygienist
It’s natural for the permanent bacteria on our teeth to build up over time and cause gum disease. Known also as periodontal disease, this build up of plaque causes the decline of tissues and bones in the mouth. Gum disease causes a wide number of oral problems such an unsavoury taste in the mouth, halitosis […]
