Our services include Occlusal bite adjustment. It is a non-surgical procedure that is carried out if your teeth are not properly aligned or come together when you bite. Your teeth are supposed to come together evenly when you bite with equal pressure. This procedure is carried out for people whose teeth are not properly aligned and clients who have recently removed their braces and want to ensure that the teeth are evenly aligned.

A diet analysis will also provide you with information about the right kinds of food to eat and a plan to reduce sugar intake, which is a known cause for tooth decay and some other dental issues.

Preventive Fluorides, Varnishes and Sealants
We offer fluoride treatments for your teeth to prevent tooth decay and promote general oral health. Fluoride will be applied on your teeth as a gel to provide long hours of contact with tooth surfaces, and it is done to protect your teeth and gum. Varnishes and sealants are also part of the preventive care treatments we offer to ensure the health of your teeth. Sealants provide a covering and shield to prevent food from getting trapped between the teeth, and it helps prevent decay.

Through the use of recommended toothpaste, liquids, etc., that are specific to your dental situation, we aim to reverse the possibilities of tooth decay as early as possible. Book an appointment with us today to start decay and cavity assessments on time to avoid the risks of treatments and filling of the teeth.
Night Guards and Sports Guards
As part of our preventive care, we offer recommendations for the use of night guards if you are used to grinding your teeth while asleep and sports guards if you partake in contact sports. These preventive measures are taken with the health of your teeth in mind. Due to the risks of causing damage to your teeth, including fractures and other health issues due to the nature of sports you play or the teeth grinding, we will recommend these teeth guards for you.
Periodontal Disease Management
If you have bleeding or swollen gums, it could be indicative of periodontal disease. This disease is accompanied by red and tender gums and is mainly caused due to poor oral hygiene. Without early treatment, this could lead to periodontitis, especially if you smoke or have diabetes. In most cases, it will affect the jaw bones and require surgery to correct it.If you think you have gum disease or notice that your gums bleed, kindly contact us today and schedule an appointment to manage and treat it before it gets worse.
