DENTAL SOLUTIONS
Gum Treatment
Gum disease is the most common cause of tooth loss and most sufferers are unaware of their susceptibility. Gum recession, "getting long in the tooth", bad breath, bleeding gums, loosening or drifting of teeth can all be signs of the advancement of this unpleasant process. It is essential therefore that all patients receive a full diagnostic charting appointment from the dental hygienist.
Root Canal Treatment
Root canal therapy (also known as endodontics) removes blood vessels and nerves from a tooth which may be infected and/or damaged. It may also be required to remove a "live" nerve from a tooth (sometimes known as "elective" root canal therapy). A root canal infection can be caused by several things including decay, injury and possibly also gum disease. Root canal therapy may be the only way to repair your tooth if it has been badly damaged by infection.

Dental Implants
A dental implant is an artificial tooth root that a dentist places into your jaw to hold a replacement tooth or bridge.
Dental implants are an ideal option for people in good general oral health who have lost a tooth or teeth due to periodontal disease, an injury, or some other reason.
Dental implants are so natural-looking and feeling, you may forget you ever lost a tooth. You know that your confidence about your teeth affects how you feel about yourself, both personally and professionally.
Perhaps you hide your smile because of spaces from missing teeth. Maybe your dentures don't feel secure. Perhaps you have difficulty chewing. If you are missing one or more teeth and would like to smile, speak and eat again with comfort and confidence, there is good news! Dental implants are teeth that can look and feel just like your own!
Orthodontics
Orthodontics is a specialty of dentistry that is concerned with the study and treatment of malocclusions (improper bites), which may be a result of tooth irregularity, disproportionate jaw relationships, or both. The word comes from the Greek words ortho meaning straight and odons meaning tooth.
Invisalign
One of the main drawbacks of orthodontic appliances (braces) worn to correct gaps, rotations and overlaps in your teeth, is their visibility. Traditionally, braces consist of metal, plastic, or ceramic brackets glued to teeth holding a metal tightening wire in place.
While traditional braces give beautiful result, many patients never wear them for fear of looking unattractive during the process.
Fortunately, INVISALIGN produces exactly the same results and is more comfortable and virtually invisible.
