Our treatments

The enamel covering a tooth can become worn leading to sensitive teeth. The cause of tooth wear is multi-factorial. The main interacting causes are acid erosion, tooth-on-tooth wear and tooth-foreign object wear.

Wisdom teeth or third molars typically erupt in the late teen years or early twenties. There is often not enough space for wisdom teeth to erupt which can result in jaw pain, swelling or decay in these teeth.

A mouthguard helps protect your teeth from impact when playing high-risk sports .

Root canal treatment is indicated when the nerve health of a tooth is compromised. Some teeth that require root canal treatment may not have any symptoms, but routine examination can help identify the need for one.

Healthy gums are the key to a healthy mouth and long-term success of any dental treatment. Regular scaling and polishing of teeth is recommended to maintain optimal dental hygiene.

Removal of a tooth may be necessary due to decay, trauma or because of gum-related issues.

Orthodontic care with Stuart at Lakes Dental: traditional braces, Kiwi Smile clear aligners, functional appliances and retainers.

A dental implant is essentially a prosthetic tooth. A titanium screw is placed in to healthy jaw bone. On top of this screw, a dental screw is either cemented or screwed in place. The aim of a dental implant is to replace a missing tooth. Multiple implants can be placed and have crowns, bridges or dentures attached on top.

Dental veneers are commonly placed to improve the appearance of front teeth. Veneers can be made out of a standard white filling material or porcelain.

Dental bridges are commonly used to replace one or more missing teeth. They improve the look of your smile, the function of your bite and stop neighbouring teeth from drifting into the empty gum. If you have missing teeth, dental bridges can be an invaluable part of your mouth’s overall health.

A dental crown is a strong precision fitted restoration that is designed outside of the mouth. The main reasons to have a crown is to protect or strengthen a tooth or to improve the appearance of one or multiple teeth. Crowns may be made out of gold, porcelain or a combination of porcelain and metal alloy.

Teeth can become discoloured for many reasons - these are separated in to two main categories; internal causes (from within the tooth) or external (from factors outside of the mouth). Depending on the cause we can use different methods to improve on the colour of your teeth.

Kiwi Smile clear aligners are virtually invisible. This means you can always smile with confidence, as compared to traditional braces where the wires and metal brackets can be seen.

Traditional braces are a well-known dentistry treatment for a reason - they work. They are metal brackets adhered to your teeth and connected by wire, which are tightened over time by your dentist. The pressure straightens your teeth safely in small amounts at a time and aligns your jaw.

Periodontal treatment refers to dental treatment specifically treating diseases of the gum tissue and bone that attaches the tooth to the bone.
