Gum treatment (Periodontitis)
Periodontitis, commonly referred to as gum disease, is an inflammatory oral disease that damages the soft tissue surrounding the tooth structure.
Peri-implant disease treatment
Peri-implant mucositis is a condition caused by the build-up of bacteria on the dental implant, leading to inflammation of the surrounding gingival tissue.
Procedures
Gingival augmentation/recession coverage
Gingival recession is the shift of the gingival margin (the terminal edge of the gums that surround the teeth) causing the exposure of the tooth’s root surface.
Exposure of impacted teeth
When a tooth fails to erupt into the dental arch and remains trapped under the jaw bone or gum it is referred to as an impacted tooth. It commonly occurs with wisdom teeth or upper canines, but can also occur to other teeth.
Dental implants
Dental implants may be a suitable option for patients seeking to replace damaged or missing teeth and restore functionality and confidence.
Treatment under general anaesthetic
General Anaesthetic is used to induce a state of temporary unconsciousness, where a patient is asleep and cannot feel pain.
Bone grafting is a surgical procedure that involves building up jaw bone to support dental implants. A sinus lift, also known as a sinus augmentation surgery, is a bone grafting procedure used to restore upper jaw bone for the insertion of dental implants.
Pre-orthodontic assessment
A pre-orthodontic assessment is an important step before any orthodontic work takes place. It includes a comprehensive discussion and investigation of oral health concerns to determine the most appropriate treatment plan.
