From preventative care to tooth replacement, we offer the entire range of modern dentistry services to keep your teeth healthy and beautiful throughout your life. Here's a look at the types of treatments we provide.
Dental Consultations
A dental consultation is a non-invasive visit. A dental consultation usually consists of:
- Full mouth examination, which includes an exam of your existing fillings/dental treatment, exam of your gum health and actively looking for decay and/or other problems
- X-rays. These diagnostic images will give more information about the health and structure of your teeth, jaws, and bones, and aid in tooth restoration.
- Conversation about your dental goals and discuss your treatment plan, if any treatment is needed.
Regular visits to your dentist is one of the key oral health messages to help maintain good oral hygiene and a healthy mouth.

Restorations
Restorations are the various ways your dentist can replace or restore missing teeth or missing parts of the tooth structure. Tooth structure can be missing due to decay, deterioration (weakening) of a previously placed restoration, or fracture of a tooth.
At your appointment your dentist will explain options and discuss your treatment plan. Do not hesitate to ask your dentist questions about your treatment.
Various options are available (in accourdance to your need):
- Fillings; Composite or Amalgam
- Crowns
- Bridges
- Veneers

Periodontal Treatment
Healthy gums are very important for ensuring you have a healthy mouth. Gingivitis is when the gums are inflamed, red and swollen, often the swollen gums bleed when they are brushed during cleaning. Long standing gingivitis can turn into periodontal (gum) disease.
Your dentist will do a thorough examination including measuring between the gum and tooth to see if there is any sign of periodontal disease.
If treatment is needed, it can be completed by your dentist or in complex cases you can be referred to Mrs Zelda Wiese who has special interests in clinical Periodontology.
Dental Implants
A dental implant is an artificial tooth root that is placed into your jaw to hold a replacement tooth or bridge.
Dental implants may be an option for people who have lost a tooth or teeth due to gum disease, an injury, or some other reason.
If you are interested in implant options please discuss this with your dentist and if it is a viable option they will refer you for a consultation. The consultation is an opportunity to collect information in order to give you an estimate and treatment plan.
Root Canal Treatment
Why is root canal treatment necessary? Decay or injury can destroy the living pulp.
Dead pulp is more prone to infection leading to abscess and tooth-ache.
The benefits of root canal treatment:
- Relieve pain
- Avoid permanent loss of teeth
- Avoid infection spreading beyond the tooth
- Retreatment or apicectomy is possible if infection recurs.
Root canal treatment is carried out by your dentist over two or more appointments.
Your dentist may refer you to Ms Joana Cacoilo (within the practice) who has special interests in root canal treatment OR your dentist may refer to a
specialist in root canal treatment (endodontist) if the work is particularly complex.
Dentures
Dentures are removable replacements for your teeth, designed to look and function like your own natural teeth and surrounding gum tissues.
Modern-day dentures can look very realistic, natural and feel comfortable.
Dentures are generally fabricated from acrylic resins. However, with advances in modern cosmetic dentistry, there are a wide variety of materials available for dentures, including chrome (metal framed) dentures and the latest flexible cosmetic dentures.
All types of dentures have the ability to bring back your smile and confidence.
Please ask your dentist for further information
Dental Care for Children
It's very important that your child's first visit to the dentist be a positive experience.
Remember that if you are anxious then this is likely to influence your child. We recommend that you tell your children about the visit in advance, however do not go into too much detail.
Explain to your child the positive effects of a visit to the dentist, the importance of maintaining healthy teeth, gums and that the dentist's job is to help them achieve this.
The appointments will always be taken at their pace and our amazing team will make them feel as comfortable as possible.
Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening uses bleaching methods to lighten the colour of your natural teeth. You may want to whiten your teeth if they’ve lost their whiteness overtime, or because of smoking or stains from food and drink.
The dentist will take an impression of your teeth to make a mouthguard and tell you how to use it with a bleaching gel. Then, using your mouthguard at home, you regularly apply the gel for a specified period of time over 2 to 4 weeks.
If you are interested in whitening please discuss these with your dentist or call for a consultation.
Oral Health Sessions
An oral health educator has an important and valuable role within a dental practice. They promote good oral health care and work with patients to help prevent oral disease.
Our sessions provide information about
- Tooth brushing techniques
- How to use floss and inter dental brushing
- Advise for children to help stop tooth decay
- Effects of smoking and alcohol consumption
- Oral health advise during pregnancy
If you are interested please speak with your dentist for further information.
Surgical Treatment
Surgical tooth extraction is a tooth removal procedure in which surgical access is required to completely remove a tooth. The procedure is more complex than a normal extraction.
Dental Hygiene Appointments

Regular hygiene appointments are essential for maintaining healthy teeth and gums. Our experienced hygienists provide thorough cleanings and tailored advice to support your at-home routine.

Removes plaque, tartar, and surface stains to help prevent gum disease and decay.
Gum Health Assessment
We evaluate your gum tissue to detect early signs of inflammation or periodontal disease.
Oral Hygiene Advice
Personalised tips on brushing, flossing, and diet to help you maintain optimal oral health between visits.
Routine cleanings not only keep your smile bright — they also support your overall health and well-being.
Invisalign
Invisalign is a type of orthodontic treatment that helps to straighten teeth without the use of the typical metal braces. Invisalign involves wearing a series of custom-made clear plastic aligners that help move your teeth into a straight position.
Ms Joana Cacoilo provides 'Invisalign Go' at both our practices.
'Invisalign Go' has all the great features of Invisalign, but it’s been specially created to treat simpler cases. The treatment is essentially the same; you’ll just need fewer aligners to move your teeth into the desired position.
If you are interested in booking a consultation with Ms Cacoilo, please contact our reception staff to book an appointment.
Prosthodontics
Why would you need to see a prosthodontist?
The term “prostho” means replacement and “dontist” means dealing with teeth.
C.Sharma, who has a special interest in prosthodontics treats dental and facial problems that involve restoring missing teeth/tooth and jaw structures.
A prosthodontist is highly trained in cosmetics, crowns, bridges and dentures. Prosthodontists are extensively trained in state-of-the-art techniques and procedures for treating complex dental conditions and restoring optimum function and aesthetics.
Please ask you dentist for further information.
