DENTAL CARE HABITS ESTABLISHED IN CHILDHOOD ARE THE BASIS FOR LIFELONG ORAL HEALTH
Even if it is a minor dental issue or a critical one, we’re here to help. At Paediatric and Family Dentistry, your dental health and well being are in the right hands.
FIRST DENTAL VISIT
Your child’s first dental visit should be no later than age one. Take your toddler in to see us early so that we can ensure a happy healthy smile for life’. Our Paediatric Dentist has over 35 years of experience and will ensure your child is taken care of.
DENTAL CLEANINGS AND SEALANTS
We recommend visiting us every 6 months for an examination and cleaning. A professional cleaning is necessary to thoroughly remove plaque and other buildup. Sealants provide a protective covering over the grooves and fissures of teeth that are susceptible to cavities.
COSMETIC DENTISTRY
Tell us what you like and dislike about your smile, and what change you’re looking for. We can explain your treatment options and plan a suitable course of action. Our cosmetic dentistry includes:
-
Teeth Whitening
-
Fillings
-
Crown, Veneers
TOOTH REPLACEMENT
We offer a range of aesthetic options for tooth replacement:
-
Bridges- Non removable involving tooth preparation
-
Dentures- Metal ( Chrome) or Acrylic

ROOT CANAL TREATMENT
A root canal treatment is done in an attempt to save teeth that are badly damaged or infected. The damaged pulp (nerve) of the tooth is removed and the canal cleaned and filled. Afterwards, a crown (cap) is usually recommended to be placed over the tooth to protect it.
SEDATION & GENERAL ANAESTHESIA
Our Anaesthesia Team are on call for dental treatment on toddlers and children, mentally challenged persons or elderly with Alzheimers. Calm your dental fears with treatment under sedation. Call today for a consultation.
TOOTH EXTRACTIONS
Dental extractions are the last resort of treatment for a tooth. We do however offer simple and surgical extractions of all teeth including wisdom teeth.
DENTAL TRAUMA MANAGEMENT
Dental trauma ranges from toddler lip and tooth damage to the ” knocked out” permanent tooth. We will manage your emergency in the shortest possible time. Call when on the way.
