ROUTINE DENTAL VISITS

Maintain your beautiful smile and good oral and general health

ROUTINE DENTAL VISITS
Dental78.jpg

 

  • Thorough Full Mouth Examination of the hard and soft tissues (bone, teeth, gums, lips, cheeks, palate, mouth floor and tongue)

  • Bleeding indexes to determine areas of inflammation that will lead to bone loss around the teeth

  • Periodontal examination to determine areas of bone loss. 

  • Strict sterilization techniques

  • Low radiation intra-oral x-radiographs

  • Low radiation digital 2D panoramic x-radiographs

  • Cone beam CT 3D scans with excellent definition used to show pathology in the bone and Temporomandibular jaw joints, plan implants where teeth were lost and plan and execute root canal treatments with precision.

DENTAL HYGIENE

Using the revolutionary AIRFLOW PROPHYLAXIS MASTER

DENTAL HYGIENE
ems-airflow-prophylaxis-master01-1200x1200.jpg

 

  • Immaculate scaling and polishing​ using the latest cleaning technology - AIRFLOW PROPHYLAXIS MASTER.

  • This technique is quick, effective, and extremely safe for the enamel of your teeth.

  • First, the biofilm is coloured to see where proper oral hygiene is not executed.

  • Then the necessary toothbrushes, tooth brushing techniques, floss, and flossing techniques are explained, showing how to eliminate the unwanted biofilm that causes tooth decay and gum disease.

  • The AIRFLOW handpiece is used first to eliminate the biofilm using water, air, and an extremely fine powder.

  • The PIEZON handpiece then follows. The water is heated to body temperature making the experience comfortable and not as nerve-wracking as older techniques.

  • The Piezon's tip oscillates and is thin and easily moves in the pocket between the gum and tooth, reaching hard-to-get places sub-gingivally and also removing supra-gingival build-up that can be seen and felt with the tongue.

  • As soon as the vibrating tip touches the tartar, the tartar disintegrates and is rinsed away by the water. 

  • Tartar is sharp crystals that cut and irritate the gums, resulting in swollen, bleeding, and sometimes painful gums.

  • Chronically diseased gums, as described above, causes BONE LOSS over time, resulting in visually long, loose teeth. Ultimately these periodontally affected teeth will be lost. This has a tremendous social, physical and emotional impact on one's holistic well-being.

  • Therefore the following is of the utmost importance to prevent TOOTH DECAY AND PERIODONTAL BONE LOSS.

 

REGULAR ORAL HYGIENE VISITS & PROPER ORAL HYGIENE PRACTICES & USE OF CORRECT DENTAL PRODUCTS

​

  • This latest technique will leave your teeth smooth and shiny.

  • An enjoyable and surprising experience

  • Polishing old fillings​, removing rugged edges, and minimizing the chance of secondary tooth decay forming, will be done.

  • Fluoride treatment​ to strengthen tooth structure against acid attacks is a routine treatment with added value.

  • Smoking, eating, and drinking habits that might be detrimental to your teeth, causing stains, abrasion, and attrition, will also be discussed as a matter of the utmost importance.

  • When consuming any acid fluids or foods like effervescent medication, Vit C powder dissolved in water, sparkling water, sodas (same pH as vinegar, just with added sugar), energy drinks, fruit, fruit juices, lemon squeezed in water, etc., you need to RINSE YOUR MOUTH 10 TIMES WITH STILL WATER, WAIT 10 MINUTES AND THEN ONLY BRUSH YOUR TEETH. If not, the acids will dissolve the surface of your teeth (you will feel this when you move your tongue over the surfaces of your teeth - the teeth feel "blunt"). If you leave it without rinsing or brushing immediately after consumption, you will lose healthy tooth enamel - never to be replaced again, resulting in hollow tooth necks, hollow edges of front teeth, and hollow tooth surfaces of the back teeth. Once the enamel is gone, the soft, inner part of your teeth (dentine) will quickly and progressively wear away, destructing a perfect smile. 

  • This can then only be rehabilitated with huge costs.

  • PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE

  • Tooth-coloured Fissure Sealants and Restorations will be advised where early tooth decay lesions, abrasion and attrition are visible - even when minute - to immediately stop the progression of this detrimental process.

CBCT SCAN

Elevate the level of successful diagnosis and treatment planning

CBCT SCANS
  • Artificial intelligence aids in quickly and effectively assisting the doctor when reading the images to create the most accurate report possible.

  • Three-dimensional imaging of the jaw and its teeth and other critical boney structures

  • Images of TMJ can show if boney destructive pathology of the jaw joint exists.

  • Used for accurate planning of surgical procedures, seeing exactly where vital structures are to avoid trauma to them when removing wisdom teeth & placing implants

  • Determining angle and root curvatures to remove teeth easily.

  • Seeing the accurate extent of fracture lines in teeth and jawbones after injury

  • Identifying missing and additional teeth and where they might be impacted

  • Determining the number of root canals and the curvature of teeth's roots when planning a successful root canal treatment

  • Two-dimensional images in a single plane often miss essential pathology like root abscesses. Such foci of infection can lead to small infarcts in organs & small strokes in the brain.

  • IT IS OF THE UTMOST IMPORTANCE TO ALWAYS GET RID OF INFECTION.

ALIGNMENT OF TEETH

No more braces! Clear Aligner is the latest trend

Align your teeth and elevate the perfection of your Smile to have confidence in front of a camera

ALIGNMENT OF TEETH
Profiles_Braces_Aligner-1.jpg
  • Clear Align / Invisalign / Clear Correct

  • To be worn 24 hours per day and only be removed when eating.

  • Easy oral hygiene 

  • Less harm to tooth structure than braces

  • In some cases, small tooth-colored triangles and squares are attached to the teeth to rotate teeth that are severely tilted or rotated.

  • Six weeks to 12 months treatment opposed to 2-3 years with braces

  • Aesthetically pleasing

  • Nearly invisible from 1 meter away when smiling

  • No or little speech impairment

  • In minor cases, much cheaper than full braces.

  • Regular use of White Foam whitens the teeth (even under attachments) and kills germs 99.9%. It also keeps the Clear Aligners bright.

  • The Waterlase cleans previously impossible to reach horizontal canals and the delta of a three-dimensional debris-filled canal system. 
  • The Epic X diode laser kills bacteria in the fluid-filled tubules of the dentine on a microscopic level where it was impossible in the past to reach with antiseptic and potentially hazardous chemicals.
  • Laser light penetrates the surrounding tissues, killing bacteria and bio-stimulating the bone, periodontal ligament, and gum for quicker healing.
  • A biocompatible ceramic cement stimulates healing of the infected bone around the root tip, sealing the root tip perfectly together with a heated, soft, and pliable GP point.  It is resistant to breakdown to give a long-lasting successful outcome.

PERIODONTAL GUM DISEASE

Be aware of signs and react immediately!

PORCELAIN RESTORATIONS
gumdisease2_edited.jpg
  • Tartar is sharp crystals that cut and irritate gums, resulting in swollen, bleeding, and sometimes painful gums.

  • Chronically diseased gums, as described above, causes BONE LOSS over time, resulting in visually long, loose teeth. Ultimately these periodontally affected teeth will be lost. This has a tremendous social, physical and emotional impact on one's holistic well-being.

  • The teeth appear visually longer as the bone dissolves and the gum recedes.

  • The recession causes the dentine/cementum of the root that is usually embedded in bone and covered with the periodontal ligament to be exposed to mechanical brushing and acid attack, causing first mild, but later severe deeply eroded tooth necks.

  • Therefore the following is of the utmost importance:

​

REGULAR ORAL HYGIENE VISITS & PROPER ORAL HYGIENE PRACTICES & USE OF CORRECT DENTAL PRODUCTS

​

  • No more open flap, painful surgical procedures.

  • In combination with this revolutionary concept, we do laboratory testing of the DNA of the specific bacteria in the mouth that need to be targeted with the correct antibiotics, mechanical oral hygiene techniques, and regular dental follow-up visits (for the first month weekly, then for the following two months, twice a week, and then for three months, once a month)

  • We also do a DNA test of your susceptibility for periodontal disease to determine if you should visit the dentist more regularly than once a year or six-monthly.

  • With local anaesthetic, light energy is applied, moving the laser tip in the space between the teeth and the bone.

  • Tartar and infected gum tissue are removed.

  • Then the crest of the bone is cleaned and smoothened.

  • Then the outer epithelium of the gum is removed.

  • This process is comfortable and is done with ordinary local anaesthesia.

  • Growth factors and wound healing are activated.

  • The bone and periodontal ligament then get the chance to adhere to the perfectly cleaned and sterilized cementum of the root surfaces.

  • Precisely scheduling follow-up visits for bio-stimulation and bacterial reduction, disclosing biofilm, adjusting oral hygiene techniques in problem areas, and removing the biofilm is of the utmost importance.

  • Laser therapy cannot be successful without ABSOLUTE PATIENT COMPLIANCE regarding IMMACULATE ORAL HYGIENE PRACTICES and PRECISE TIMED VISITS the dentist and oral hygienist as scheduled.

  • Application of Light energy in the correct dose and exposure time aids in bio-stimulation and bacterial reduction. In combination with the uber-important patient compliance, it allows not only the periodontal ligament to attach again; it can even result in BONE REGENERATION, with the gum that follows, reducing recession.

  • At the least, laser periodontal treatment prevents further bone loss around the teeth, stopping this debilitating disease in its tracks!

  • ​The gums will become pink and firm, and bleeding will stop. Bleeding is always an indicator of the presence of gum disease.

  • Simultaneously pain is reduced and the area sterilized.

  • PERIODONTAL DISEASE and infections in the mouth are associated with diabetes, heart conditions, foci of infection in organs, and small strokes that can be devastating for the patient and the patient's family.

  • Periodontal bacteria have also been described to have been present in cancer lesions.

  • Keep your body free of infection for overall health and well-being!
