State of the art dentistry

OVERVIEW

These days dentistry has moved on from the “pull, fill or drill” of the past.  Minimally invasive dentistry requires specialised techniques and takes more time, therefore not the quick easy profit approach that some dental practices are built on.

WATCHPOINTS

•    Mistakes made in the dentist’s chair are much harder, if not impossible, to rectify than most other botched treatments.
•    People often have completely the wrong idea about the true health of their teeth or the quality of previous dental work until they are examined by a minimal intervention dentist. It can be quite shocking to find out the truth, no matter how much you’ve been paying.
•    Medical research has discovered that many serious illnesses can begin in the mouth so scrupulous with daily brushing and flossing are recommended, as is monitoring your oral health with regular visits to the dentist and hygienist.
•    Diseased gums, discoloured teeth or veneers that look like ill-fitting dentures are incredibly ageing.
•    Old style dentistry focuses on unnecessary drilling,  extraction and general lack of regard for perfectly healthy teeth
•   You only get one set of adult teeth, so you should look after them carefully.
