Dental Services in East Auckland

Comprehensive Dental Care for East Auckland Patients

Healthy teeth and gums are an important part of your overall well-being. We provide a wide range of dental services in East Auckland, from routine check-ups and preventative care through to restorative and cosmetic dentistry, helping to relieve pain, restore and improve oral function, and enhance the appearance of your smile.

ROUTINE EXAMINATIONS

Prevention is always better than a cure. Teeth with little or no fillings have a much greater chance of longterm survival. Regular examinations with cleaning and x-rays enable early detection and relatively simple treatment of teeth and gum problems. Regular routine check ups also allow your dentist to provide you with advice to help you optimise your dental care at home.

CLEANING

A good home cleaning routine is essential to keep your teeth and gums healthy for life. Tartar and plaque left on teeth and gums can cause:

P

Tooth decay and cavities

P

Gum swelling bleeding and infection

P

Tooth mobility

P

Halitosis / bad breath

P

Staining of teeth

It is important to combine good homecare with regular cleaning by a dental professional to remove tartar and plaque missed by tooth brushing and flossing.

COSMETIC DENTISTRY

A beautiful smile is the ultimate investment, and something to be proud of. Crooked, stained, broken or missing teeth can have a significant impact on your day to day life, leading to a loss of self confidence.

Cosmetic dentistry can improve shape and colour, restore chipped teeth and fill holes caused by missing teeth to improve the look and feel of your smile. Improvements can be made using a variety of restorations. These include tooth coloured composite resin fillings, crowns bridges and veneers, dentures and dental implants.

Tooth whitening is a non-invasive way of improving the colour of your teeth. We offer in-chair and take-home options to suit your needs.

RESTORATIVE DENTISTRY

We offer a range of treatment options which restore and protect broken or decayed teeth, improve function and fill in gaps caused by missing teeth :

P

Fillings can be tooth coloured or metal

P

Crowns and onlays - top quality custom-made restorations which strengthen and protect heavily damaged teeth

P

Bridges and implants - custom made fixed-in-the mouth restorations which can fill spaces caused by missing teeth very naturally

ROOT CANAL THERAPY

The heart of each tooth contains a space called the root canal. The root canal contains the dental pulp which consists of nerves and blood vessels that keep the tooth alive. If the dental pulp becomes diseased or dies, a toothache or an abscess may occur, causing pain or swelling. In the past these problem teeth were routinely extracted.

Today root canal treatment is a comfortable procedure that allows you the chance to keep your tooth. We believe in keeping your own teeth for life in order to maintain a healthy happy mouth.

TOOTH REMOVAL

Our dentists are well trained in rapid and comfortable removal of painful, damaged, or infected teeth. We are also able to remove impacted and infected wisdom teeth.

IV SEDATION

Dentistry can be a nerve-racking and frightening prospect for some patients. We offer IV sedation which allows for long appointments and major procedures to be performed without anxiety.

If fear of the dentist has stopped you from having treatment in the past, IV sedation will take the fear out of your dental experience.

DENTAL EMERGENCIES

We are trained and highly capable in relief of pain if you experience sudden tooth pain, broken teeth, or other urgent dental problems. Our dentists are also trained to treat teeth gums and mouths damaged as a result of accidents.
