INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY
Dentistry, like all other fields of medicine and science, is always developing and improving with new knowledge and techniques through research and study. At Smileworks, we are committed to improving our wealth of dental knowledge and providing our patients with the best possible dental care backed by sound dental science.
REMOVAL OF WISDOM TEETH
Wisdom teeth, or third molars, are the last teeth to erupt at each quadrant of your mouth, often not appearing until you are 17 or older.
ROOT CANAL TREATMENT
Root canal treatment serves to allow a previously infected tooth to heal and remain in the mouth instead of being extracted.
DENTAL IMPLANTS
The third set of teeth. Always had problems eating or chewing? Always having loose dentures and not able to eat well? Dental implants can be your solution!
TMJ (TEMPORO-MANDIBULAR JOINT) DISORDERS
The joint which connects the lower jaw to the skull is known as the temporo-mandibular joint. Any pain or pathology related to these joints or the surrounding structures are known as TMJ disorders.
NIGHTGUARD / MOUTHGUARD
A mouthguard is a removable acrylic appliance that provides a barrier between the upper and lower teeth. It is commonly worn on the upper teeth during sleep. Mouthguards/Nightguards cannot actually stop the bruxism habit, but it does prevent its negative implications.
DENTAL EXTRACTION
Dental extractions may be indicated for teeth for various reasons.
ORTHODONTICS (BRACES)
There are orthodontic solutions to suit every lifestyle. At our clinic, we offer various options for you to achieve that straighter smile….
• Metal Braces (with coloured modules of your choice)
• Esthetic Ceramic Braces
• Clear aligner systems
• Invisalign® Removable Appliances
DENTURES
A denture is used to replace missing teeth in the mouth and can be taken out of the mouth by the patient. The main body of the denture is commonly made of acrylic and may or may not include metal components in its design. Depending on the condition of the teeth remaining, the choice of the material will be advised by the dentist.
BONE GRAFTING
It is important that dental implants are placed in sufficient volume of good quality bone. However, for some people, jawbone shrinkage after the loss of teeth leaves them without enough bone to secure an implant.
