The AIR-FLOW® Method from EMS involves projecting a jet of compressed air, water and fine powder particles onto the surface of the tooth to polish the surface and remove debris. Plaque, soft deposits and colorations disappear quickly and painlessly – even from interproximal areas.

It is estimated that 1 mm of dental plaque, weighing about 1 mg, contains more than 200 million bacteria. When left untreated these microorganisms colonize the area and develop biofilm, a breeding ground resistant to drug therapy and the body’s immune defenses. In turn, biofilm causes periodontitis or peri-implantitis to spread unchecked.

To combat biofilm, the AIR-FLOW® System from EMS reaches down to 5 mm pocket depth. For deeper pockets, subgingival air-polishing is granted by EMS’s Original PERIO-FLOW® Method.

With the gentle application of kinetic energy, it causes no damage and will not scratch the tooth surface. In short, the Original AIR-FLOW® Method is the key to success for practitioner and patient alike.

The advantages of AIR-FLOW® in a nutshell:

• Removes dental plaque and hence helps preventing periodontal diseases such as gingivitis or periodontitis

• Removes teeth stains

• Helps maintain implants sound

• Cleans and opens fissures for sealing

• Cleans prior to bonding orthodontic brackets

A beautiful smile is one of the best investments in self-esteem you can make for your family. Possibilities and objectives of orthodontics actually go beyond a nice smile. 

Orthodontic treatment

 plays an important role in improving oral health.

Bite defects

 can create an 

abnormal wearing of teeth

 and 

chewing difficulties

. Joint noises and joint pain as well as the headaches that often accompany them can sometimes be due to malpositioned teeth and to 

overbites

. Well aligned teeth are easier to clean, and thus more resistant to decay and less sensitive to gingival problems.

Bridges are fixed to the teeth/tooth adjacent to the gap caused by any missing teeth. Unlike dentures, they are a permanent feature and therefore you don’t have to worry about removing them whenever you eat. Typically made from porcelain, gold, alloy or a combination of these materials, our high quality bridges aim to give you the best possible appearance and function so they feel natural and secure.

Having missing teeth can severely affect your confidence and way of life. If you find yourself covering up your mouth when laughing or talking to people, refusing to smile in photos and even getting frustrated when eating because it is more difficult, we can help rid you of this discomfort.

• Conventional. This full removable denture is made and placed in your mouth after the remaining teeth are removed and tissues have healed, which may take several months.

Removable partial dentures usually consist of replacement teeth attached to pink or gum-colored plastic bases. Depending on your needs, your dentist will design a partial denture for you. A partial denture may have a metal framework and clasps that connect to your teeth, or they can have other connectors that are more natural looking. In some cases, a removable partial denture is made to attach to your natural teeth with devices called precision attachments. Precision attachments are generally more esthetic than clasps.

Crowns on your natural teeth are sometimes needed to improve the fit of a removable partial denture and they are usually required with attachments. Partial dentures with precision attachments generally cost more than those with clasps.

Though nobody enjoys the thought of having teeth pulled, occasionally a tooth can crack, break or become so decayed in a way that cannot be repaired, others may have advanced periodontal disease . may need removal because they are poorly positioned in the mouth (such as impacted teeth), or in preparation for orthodontic treatment.

The removal of a single tooth can lead to problems related to your chewing ability, problems with your jaw joint, and shifting teeth, which can have a major impact on your dental health.

To avoid these complications, in most cases, our dentist will discuss alternatives to extractions as well replacement of the extracted tooth.

Oral health education and dietary advice –

Dental Amalgam is a commonly used dental filling that has been used for over 150 years. It is a mixture of mercury with at least one other metal. Amalgam has many advantages over other restorative material, such as low cost, strength, durability, and bacteriostatic effects.

Amalgam is used in dentistry for a number of reasons. It is relatively easy to use and manipulate during placement; it remains soft for a short time so it can be packed to fill any irregular volume, and then forms a hard compound. There are circumstances in which composite (white fillings) serves better than amalgam; when amalgam is not indicated, or when a more conservative preparation would be beneficial, composite is the recommended restorative material. These situations would include small occlusal restorations, in which amalgam would require the removal of a more sound tooth structure, as well as in “enamel sites beyond the height of contour.”

The American Dental Association Council on Scientific Affairs has concluded that both amalgam and composite materials are considered safe and effective for tooth restoration.

If you’re looking for the comfortable, permanent and retaining the feel of regular teeth, dental implant can serve you. They even look and act like natural teeth, so you can brush, floss, eat whatever you want, and speak without impediment. Making dental implants an effective permanent solution to the loss of teeth.

Dental scaling occurs with manual hand instruments, ultrasonic instruments or both. The dentist will start the procedure with a thorough examination of your mouth. Next, an ultrasonic scaling device will be used to eliminate the plaque bacteria with sonic vibrations. The ultrasonic scaling device removes tartar (calculus), plaque and biofilm from the tooth surface and underneath the gum line. A manual instrument may be used next to remove the remainder.

Our whitening system is a scientifically advanced tooth Whitening procedure. It’s safe, effective and fast. In only one office visit, your teeth will become dramatically whiter.

Unlike caps/crowns, veneers only cover the front surface of a tooth. Porcelain veneers provide long-lasting results and perfect your smile. Porcelain veneers are thin, and are made from tooth-coloured porcelain custom shaped shells that are designed to cover the entire front and part of the back surface of the teeth. Porcelain veneers can dramatically improve the appearance of anyone’s teeth.

Some of the issues our porcelain veneers can be used to repair or improve are:

• Gaps in teeth

• Crooked teeth

• Discoloured teeth

• Worn and chipped teeth

• Old Veneers
