Preventive Dentistry maintains good dental health through good nutrition, daily tooth brushing and flossing and routine dental checkups every 6 months to remove plague and tartar. During your visit, our hygienist or dentist will check for tooth decay, broken restorations, gum disease, oral cancer and other dental problems such as night grinding and clenching or bad breath.

Symptoms of gum disease such as bleeding and swelling of gums may result in loose teeth. It is most common in adults and is responsible for majority of tooth loss. The treatment for this disease is called Periodontics.

Removing stains and discoloration within the teeth and having whiter teeth is a process called tooth whitening. The level of whiteness that can be achieved is subjective to the level of discoloration. There are 2 ways to whiten your teeth, either by take-home kit or in-office whitening. Take-home kits involve putting trays in your mouth with whitening get for about 30 minutes everyday for about 1- 2 weeks (before any significant results are visible). In-office whitening involves the activation of whitening gel placed on your teeth with a special light source for about an hour. Most teeth would lighten about 7-10 shades by the end of session. Ideal for busy people!

The thin "fake finger nail" like facings that are bonded to the front surfaces of teeth to provide an excellent cosmetic solution for stained, chipped, or slightly misaligned teeth. They can also be used to close spaces between teeth.

Gaps between teeth can be very conservatively concealed using tooth-coloured composite materials in a process called Bonding. It can also correct colour, shape of teeth or repair chipped/ decayed teeth. Typically, this procedure can be completed in a single visit.

If you've heard of terms like crowns, bridges, veneers, inlays, complete and removable partial dentures and dental implants, these are simply ways to replace or repair missing parts of teeth, bone, gums or facial structures to restore optimal function and aesthetics to your smile. Broadly categorized under the term Prosthodontics, even traumatic injuries to the mouth's structures and/or teeth, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, snoring and sleep disorders, oral cancer reconstruction and continuing care fall under this category.

Have a missing tooth? Dental implants are a more conservative tooth replacement technique that looks, feels and functions like natural teeth. A high-grade titanium screw bonds to the jawbone and replaces the natural tooth's root as an anchor. It is unlike conventional bridges where the supporting teeth need to be "shaved".

A Dental crown is a tooth-like protective "cap" that is placed over a badly decayed, damaged or cracked tooth. They can also be used to support a bridge and cover discoloured or misshaped teeth.

Dental bridges can replace or fill a gap created by a single or multiple missing teeth. A conventional bridge is made up of two crowns for the teeth on either side of the gap and false tooth/ teeth in between.

A suitable mouth guard can be worn during sleep as treatment of night time grinding/clenching and migraine headaches without the side effects of drugs.

Endodontic (root canal therapy) helps to save a tooth with infected pulp tissue caused by decay, gum disease or trauma. In the old days, the tooth would have been extracted. This treatment removes infected nerves and tissues in the canal, is cleansed and disinfected then the tooth is filled and sealed. A post-crown is added for protection.

Orthodontics is the use of braces to treat crooked teeth in children and adults to obtain a better bite relationship, reduce gum problems and tooth decay by allowing easier cleansing and thus prevent tooth loss. The result is an aesthetically pleasing smile that boosts one's image and self-confidence.

The removal of impacted, buried teeth, cysts and tumor, implant placement come under the specialty of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. Certain jaw reconstructions to improve the bite of the patient is also performed under this specialty.

For the highly anxious patients, we also provide dental treatment under sedation or nitrous oxide. This procedure is performed by qualified anesthetists.

As good habits start young, it is important to introduce children to visit the dentist as young as when the first tooth appears. This is to familiarise them with the dental environment, reducing fear of dentists. Early oral health awareness will increase the opportunity for a healthy mouth as a child goes through adolescence to adulthood. Early problems such as tooth decay, teething irritations, gum disease and teeth/jaw growth abnormality can be detected and treated easily at its early stage.
