After the initial diagnosis of periodontal disease, the treatment that is required is a deep clean usually performed under local anaesthetic. Anaesthetic is used in order for the clinician to effectively remove bacteria residing deep beneath the gums, on the root surface of the tooth/teeth. Depending on your case, this treatment may require 1 – 4 visits. The success of this procedure requires patient compliance to home oral hygiene routines and regular professional maintenance, which also prevents recurrence of the disease.

Similar to a crown, a fixed bridge consists of a crown plus 1 or more extra units to replace one or more missing teeth.
White Fillings
Cavities are preferably filled with tooth-coloured materials such as composite resins (plastic) or porcelain, allowing minimal tooth structure removal
