Dental implants are a common restorative option for replacing missing teeth using a biocompatible post as a tooth root.
Suitability depends on individual factors like jawbone density and gum health, which are assessed during a clinical consultation.
While designed for durability, long-term outcomes vary and require consistent oral hygiene.
Initial recovery generally takes three to seven days, with most patients returning to normal activities within 48 hours. Minor swelling and discomfort are common during this period.
To reduce the risk of infection or complications, patients should avoid strenuous exercise for several days and follow specific post-operative hygiene and dietary instructions.
You may require root canal therapy if a tooth is severely decayed or infected, often indicated by persistent pain or temperature sensitivity.
This procedure involves removing damaged pulp, cleaning the canals, and sealing the tooth to manage infection.
It is a common clinical method to retain a natural tooth that might otherwise require extraction.
Children should have their first dental visit by their first birthday or when their first tooth becomes visible.
These initial 20–30 minute sessions focus on monitoring oral development and establishing early preventive habits.
Starting early helps children become familiar with the clinical environment and allows for the early detection of developmental issues.
Dental veneers are thin shells bonded to the front of teeth to address chips, gaps, or persistent discolouration. They provide a conservative method for modifying tooth shape or alignment.
Because this treatment involves altering natural tooth structure, a thorough clinical consultation is necessary to discuss specific risks and expected longevity.
