Treatments

Periodontal disease or gum disease refers to problems affecting gums. Untreated it destroys the supporting structures of the teeth and leads to tooth loss.

Dental implants are placed into the jaw and gums to give support for false teeth. Implants are used to replace lost teeth from disease or injury.

Endodontics specialises in the diagnosis of tooth pain and root canal treatments, as well as other surgical procedures treating the inside of the tooth.

Oral medicine and pathology are focused on the diagnosis and non-surgical management of diseases affecting the oral cavity and maxillofacial region.

Prosthodontics deals with the replacement of missing teeth and surrounding tissue with fixed or removable prostheses like crowns, bridges, dentures and veneers.

Dental hygienists work with dentists to help patients improve and maintain their mouth health, such as by performing tooth scaling and removing bad breath.
