Would you like to know what the dentist is doing?

Our new business cards and referral cards have arrived at last. Their message is aimed at those who are normally too anxious about the idea of a visit to the dentist to pick up the phone until some dental disaster strikes.

However often we chant the “prevention is better than cure “or “the stitch in time” mantras, for many folk this just doesn’t make sense. “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” is what every dentist will have heard from time to time. The trouble is that “broke” may mean big trouble. So what may seem like a smart idea (”Leave well alone”) may not be!

21st century dentistry with all its hi-tech gizmos, help detect problems way before pain begins or disaster strikes. That is the way to go.

We use an intra-oral camera or “tooth –cam” to highlight minor problem areas or discover small cracks. We show you the issues so you will know exactly what we are talking about and why. Here's an example. Using the tooth cam I can show each stage of what we are doing from beginning to end.

This is a faulty silver filling with cracks in the tooth.

Here the filling has been removed and the new white filling is being built up.

Here is the finished rebuild as we show it to our patients
