Southbank Dentist

Southbank Dental Clinic

General Dental

  • Dental emergencies happen at the most inconvenient time. The office and staff is well equipped to handle pretty much any issue, be it a broken tooth, or a tooth that fell out.
  • Root canal therapy is used to treat severe toothaches that happen because decay has reached the root of your tooth.
  • White fillings are quite common these days. Many people want to replace old grey/silver amalgam fillings.
  • Widsom teeth removal is a common procedure both in adults and teens. If the back molars are too crowded, it can affect your bite and oral health. If someone is undergoing orthodontic treatment, quite often the back teeth are removed to help with proper teeth movement. In other cases, a tooth can be severely decayed and needs to be removed to preserve the surrounding gum and teeth.
  • If you’re anxious or afraid of going to the dentist, you’re not alone. Lots of people have this fear and the clinic is well equipped to put you at ease. Sleep or sedation dentistry is offered to get you through the procedures so you can get on with your life.

 

Cosmetic Dental Procedures

  • Complete smile makeovers are offered to give you that smile you’ve always wanted.
  • Crowns and bridges are used to restore a tooth after a root canal treatment or heavy decay. Bridges are used to replace a single missing tooth.
  • Zoom teeth whitening services make your teeth several shaded whiter.
  • Porcelain veneers can give you a dazzling white smile by applying customised shells of porcelain in any colour you desire right over your natural teeth. They can also be used to fix chipped or gappy teeth and is a relative quick and painless procedure done in the office.
  • Dental implants become permanent natural looking teeth if you have lost a tooth due to trauma or severe decay.
  • Invisalign, the more convenient alternative to traditional braces uses sets of clear aligners to straighten wonky teeth that are crowded, misaligned or have gaps.
