TREATMENTS
Dental treatments
Start with the problem rather than the product. A missing tooth, a worn edge, a colour concern, an old crown, bleeding gums or a painful tooth can each have more than one possible route.
Implants and replacing teeth
Dental implants
Replacing a missing tooth with an implant can involve surgery, a healing period and a later crown or bridge.
Full-arch implant treatment
“Full arch” describes the replacement of most or all teeth in one jaw with a prosthesis supported by implants.
Implant-supported restorations
The implant is only one part of implant dentistry.
Bone grafting and sinus lift
Insufficient bone does not automatically mean that implant treatment is impossible.
Dentures and prosthetic dentistry
Prosthetic dentistry includes fixed and removable ways of replacing missing tooth structure or missing teeth.
Veneers, crowns and tooth colour
Porcelain veneers
Porcelain veneers are thin ceramic restorations bonded mainly to the front surface of a tooth.
Zirconia crowns and bridges
Zirconia is a ceramic material widely used for dental crowns and bridges.
All-ceramic crowns
An all-ceramic crown may be considered when a tooth needs full coverage and a ceramic restoration suits the bite and remaining tooth structure.
Smile planning
Smile planning starts with what you would like to change and whether treatment is needed.
Teeth whitening
Professional whitening lightens natural tooth structure using peroxide-based whitening agents.
Composite bonding
Composite bonding uses tooth-coloured resin to repair or reshape selected areas of a tooth.
Restoring and protecting teeth
Fillings, inlays and onlays
A damaged tooth may need a filling, inlay, onlay or crown.
Root canal treatment
Root canal treatment may help retain a tooth when its pulp is severely inflamed, infected or has died.
Tooth extraction
Removing a tooth is irreversible, so the indication matters.
Wisdom tooth assessment and removal
Not every wisdom tooth needs to be removed.
Bruxism and teeth grinding
Bruxism describes repetitive jaw-muscle activity that can occur while awake or during sleep.
Gum health, imaging and prevention
Gum disease and periodontal treatment
Bleeding gums, persistent inflammation and periodontal attachment loss are not cosmetic problems.
Professional dental cleaning
Professional cleaning removes plaque, calculus and surface deposits that cannot always be managed with home care alone.
Dental imaging
Dental imaging should answer a clinical question.
Preventive dental care
Preventive care aims to reduce decay and gum disease through fluoride toothpaste, cleaning between teeth and measures matched to individual risk.
Missing teeth and implant treatment
Dental implants
Implant-supported replacement for one or more missing teeth, planned in relation to bone, gums, neighbouring teeth, bite and the final restoration.
Full-arch implant treatment
Fixed full-arch options for patients with extensive tooth loss or teeth with a poor prognosis. Remaining teeth, bone, hygiene access and temporary/final stages all matter.
Implant-supported restorations
Crowns, bridges and prosthetic designs supported by implants.
Bone grafting and sinus lift
Additional procedures that may be considered when available bone or anatomical relationships affect implant placement.
Aesthetic and restorative dentistry
Porcelain veneers
Thin ceramic restorations for selected aesthetic concerns, with emphasis on enamel preservation and appropriate case selection.
Zirconia crowns and bridges
Full-coverage restorations for teeth that need broader structural or restorative support.
All-ceramic crowns
Ceramic crown options selected according to tooth position, material properties, appearance and load.
Composite bonding
Direct resin additions that can change selected aspects of shape, edge form or spacing with a different maintenance profile from ceramics.
Teeth whitening
Professional whitening for natural tooth colour where the teeth and gums are suitable.
Smile planning
A decision process that considers colour, shape, gum levels, tooth position, bite and the least invasive route that can reasonably achieve the goal.
Saving and restoring teeth
Fillings, inlays and onlays
Restorative options chosen according to the amount of remaining tooth tissue and the size of the defect.
Root canal treatment
Treatment for selected pulpal and apical disease with the aim of retaining the tooth where appropriate.
Gum health and prevention
Periodontal treatment
Assessment and management of gum disease according to diagnosis, disease stage and individual risk.
Professional cleaning
Removal of plaque, calculus and deposits as part of preventive or periodontal care.
Preventive dentistry
Risk-based maintenance, home-care support and preventive measures.
Extractions and other dental concerns
Tooth extraction
Extraction when a tooth cannot reasonably be maintained or when another clear indication exists.
Wisdom tooth assessment and removal
Assessment based on symptoms, disease and anatomy rather than routine removal of every wisdom tooth.
Bruxism and teeth grinding
Assessment of tooth wear, muscle symptoms, jaw function and protective strategies where appropriate.
Dental imaging
X-rays and CBCT selected according to the clinical question rather than used as a routine package.
