Dental treatment
Sports dentistry
Millions of teeth are knocked out each year during sports. Dentallive can make a custom made mouthguard to protect them. It is recommended that children wear sports mouth guards for hockey, basketball, baseball and soccer as well.
A professionally made guard is custom-fitted to your child's mouth so that they need not bite down on it for it to stay in. Above all, it will stay in place if an accident happens. Dentallive Clinic is concerned about how few children actually wear the store-bought guards because they are uncomfortable or do not actually fit.
Of course, as children outgrow these appliances, it becomes costly for parents to invest in this device. Dentallive Clinic can make affordable mouth guards custom fitted for adults and children. These can even be colour coordinated to their uniforms!
Laser whitening
Because teeth get discoloured for many reasons including coffee, tobacco and food stains, Dentallive Clinic offers a spa-dent laser whitening system to bring your smile to life. The process provides the maximum whitening results, in the least amount of time with virtually no sensitivity, all under the supervision of their dental team.
The gel formulation is placed in their dual arch mouth trays with the precise dosage of whitening material. Dentallive's unique blue and red LED light activates the gel, providing powerful whitening with cellular stimulation. Hydroxyl radicals penetrate the tooth enamel to break down stains into progressively smaller particles.
This process will penetrate but not harm or damage the tooth enamel, including caps, crowns and veneers. For the best results, this clinic recommends a cleaning prior to the appointment for whitening. Dentallive also needs to make sure you do not have any cavities so there is no sensitivity after.
Dental implants
A new gold standard for replacing missing teeth in dentistry. They are designed as a replacement for missing teeth that look, feel and function like your own natural teeth. It restores the ability to eat virtually any food and allows patients to smile with confidence; knowing that teeth appear natural.
The dental implants are tiny titanium posts/screws that are anchored into the jawbone where the teeth are missing. The bone osseointegrated (bonds) with the titanium over a three month period allowing for the fusion of the bone to the implant creating a strong foundation for your new teeth.
In addition, dental implants can help preserve facial structure, preventing bone deterioration which occurs when teeth are missing. Dental implants can be used to anchor complete dentures to provide support and retention for loose dentures.
Dental crowns
Dentallive replaces existing crowns and fillings with restorations that look and feel like your natural teeth. Where damage to a person's teeth is extreme, and apparently beyond repair, the clinic can use porcelain or porcelain 'pasted on gold' crowns to make the smile appear 'as new'.
This is an extremely reliable technique for repairing the most severe of dental problems, even permanently replacing missing teeth to offer a complete smile and a functional bite. Dentallive are renowned for the quality of their work and the fantastic changes they make for people using this technology.
These treatments are used for a long-lasting correction of major dental problems. It is usual for these treatments to last for 20 to 30 years, which is as close to permanent.
Dentures
Complete or partial dentures are a viable alternative for missing teeth. As a patient, you have to realise dentures will never fit or feel as good as your natural teeth, especially lower dentures which are prone to retention problems.
Dentures are made of hard acrylic that is moulded to form to your existing tissues. Remember when you do not have teeth you will lose your bone over time and you may need your denture relined or a new one down the road. Remember you can always get a better fitting denture by anchoring them into the bone with implants.
Fillings and root canals
To restore your tooth to proper function and aesthetic when you have a cavity or broken tooth. Two types of filling available include:
- Silver fillings (amalgam) – A safe alternative to white fillings. They are usually used in the posterior of the mouth due to aesthetic concerns but provide a strong filling material. Patients have concerns about the 'mercury content in the silver filling'. Do not worry, there is no evidence that amalgam fillings have a detrimental effect on the health of a patient.
- White fillings (composite resin) – The most commonly used filling due to their look, function and longevity. Always remember no filling is forever, marginal breakdown over the years is the most common reason for the replacement of white fillings. The techniques used by the dentists at Dentallive Clinic allow for tooth structure to be replaced without the tooth looking like it has a filling.
Periodontics
Periodontology (periodontics) is the specific aspect of dentistry that studies the supporting structures of the teeth and the diseases that affect them. The supporting structures or tissues are collectively known as the periodontium which comprises of the gums (or gingiva), cementum, alveolar region and periodontal ligament.
Dentallive's specialist periodontist help patients to achieve and maintain the best possible periodontal health. The treatment philosophy embraces the best available periodontal and implant care and hygiene with proven effectiveness.
Periodontal treatment includes:
- Treatment of Gingivitis (inflamed or bleeding gums)
- Treatment of periodontal disease (a disease affecting gum tissue and underlying bone)
- Gum disease treatment around implants – Peri-implantitis
- Correction of the uneven gum line (crown lengthening)
- Cosmetic gum craft to correct gum shrinkage
- Treatment of bad breath (halitosis)
- Dental implant treatment
TMJ and Sleep Apena TMJ
Dentallive Clinic deals not only with teeth but the musculature and joints that support the oral cavity. TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorders are a family of problems related to your complex jaw joint.
If you have had symptoms like pain or a 'clicking' sound, you will be glad to know that these problems are more easily diagnosed and treated than they were in the past. Since some types of TMJ problems can lead to more serious conditions, early detection and treatment are important.
TMJ disorders develop for many reasons. You might clench or grind your teeth, tightening your jaw muscles and stressing your TM joint. Or, you may have a damaged jaw joint due to injury or disease. Whatever the cause, the results may include a misaligned bite, pain, clicking or grating noises when you open your mouth, or trouble opening your mouth wide.
