Scaling:

This can be done using hand instruments, ultrasonic scalers or a mixture of both. This procedure allows your gums to become healthy
and is a base line start for oral health improvement
Polishing:
After scaling the teeth may be polished to remove surface stain and smooth the teeth. The DH uses a rotating cup with prophylaxis paste
gritty paste). Polishing helps give the teeth a smooth shiny finish and makes it harder for plaque to accumulate on the teeth
Oral health education:
Tooth brushing techniques, interdental cleaning (ID) techniques , tailored recommendations for brushes , floss , ID aids
Composite fillings are used to repair teeth damaged by cavities or minor fractures. Made
from a tooth-colored resin, they blend in with natural teeth and are a popular alternative to
metal fillings. The material is applied in layers, hardened with a special light, and shaped to
restore the tooth’s original form.
Composite bonding is a cosmetic procedure that improves the appearance of teeth. It involves
applying resin to fix chips, close small gaps, or reshape teeth. The process is quick, painless,
and typically done in one visit.
Temporary dressing applied to tooth if required
Preventative covers placed on the biting surfaces of molars and premolars to aid in cleaning and reduce the risk of caries ( holes developing ) recommended for all children with permanent teeth.
This treatment is an easy and gentle dental treatment that polishes your teeth using a special tool with tiny diamond particles called an air polisher. It removes stains, plaque, and tartar, leaving your teeth smooth, shiny, and naturally whiter — without using harsh chemicals.
Unlike regular whitening that bleaches your teeth, this method simply scrubs away surface stains from things like coffee, wine, and smoking. It’s safe, doesn’t damage your enamel, and won’t make your teeth sensitive.
We offer periodontal treatment as part of a proactive maintenance program for patients with gum disease. Recommended every 3 months, this service helps manage inflammation, prevent progression, and protect your overall health.

This treatment isn’t just about cleaning—it’s about restoring balance to your oral ecosystem and reducing the body’s inflammatory response.
There are 2 types of gum disease
Gingivitis: Superficial swelling of the gums with bleeding on brushing or flossing, plaque build up on the teeth and possible calculus deposits. This is reversible and can be prevented with good oral hygiene care at home.
Periodontal Disease: If left untreated and with a susceptibility to autoimmune diseases can advance to periodontitis, the gums become inflamed and the bone and ligament around the tooth are destroyed resulting in the gums coming away from the tooth surface and forming pockets down the side of the tooth. If left untreated it may result in tooth loss and the need for dentures.
