Avoid costly repairs and pain: Proactive oral health care starts with regular dental check-ups
You can not underestimate the value of regular dental check-ups and cleaning as part of comprehensive dental preventative care. When you have regular check-ups with Knights Road Dental Centre we can catch any dental issues we can detect minor problems before they become major ones. By identifying potential problems early you can reduce costly treatments in the future.
We examine your teeth and gums, and utilise advanced x-ray techniques when required, to identify potential decay and problem spots. We don't just check your teeth; we assess your oral health and pinpoint concerns. Research shows problems with your teeth or gums can cause other health issues including increased risk of heart disease, diabetes, your ability to chew and digest your food, and even dementia. Our aim is to ensure your smile stays natural, healthy and bright.
Why dental hygiene is so important
In our practice, our oral health maintenance programme includes performing essential preventive dental care procedures such as teeth cleaning, scaling to remove tartar, polishing to remove or reduce residual staining, and educating patients on proper oral hygiene practices. Our team offers expert advice and demonstrations on how to improve your home care dental cleaning regimen too. The services are integral to the comprehensive care we provide. Regular hygiene treatments with Knights Road Dental Centre ensure you have an excellent prevention strategy against gum disease.
The role of bite splints in dental health
Bite splints are custom-made devices for children and adults that fit over your teeth to prevent damage from grinding or clenching. Many people grind their teeth at night due to stress, anxiety, or other factors, which can lead to tooth wear, sensitivity, headaches, sore muscles and even fractures. Bite splints can help relax jaw muscles, reduce pain and discomfort, and prevent further damage. They're especially useful for people with bruxism, TMJ disorders, or periodontal disease. By wearing a bite splint, you can protect your teeth, reduce pain and discomfort, and even improve mild sleep apnea symptoms.
Prevent tooth decay with fissure sealants
As part of our preventive dental care, Knights Road Dental Centre offers fissure sealants that fill the hard-to-clean recesses on teeth biting surfaces and other hard to reach areas. Our fissure sealant:
- is suitable for both adults and children
- reduces the risk of dental cavities occurring
- offers a painless application process with no drilling
Transform your smile with our advanced cosmetic veneer options
Veneers offer a versatile solution to a variety of dental imperfections, ranging from chipped and worn teeth to stubborn stains or discoloration. By enhancing the appearance, colour, and shape of your teeth, veneers contribute to achieving a flawless smile and boosting your confidence.
Custom-made to fit your tooth's unique shape and structure, veneers not only improve your smile's appearance but also enhance your bite function, making it easier to bite and chew comfortably. Whether made from porcelain or composite material, veneers offer a convenient and permanent dental treatment option.
Effortlessly bright smiles with our teeth whitening solutions
Achieving a brighter, more radiant smile can significantly boost your confidence, especially if you've felt self-conscious about discoloured teeth. At Knights Road Dental Centre, we offer both in-practice and take-home teeth whitening solutions to cater to your preferences and lifestyle.
Our in-practice whitening procedure begins with a comprehensive dental check-up to ensure the safety of the treatment. We meticulously remove any plaque or build-up that may hinder the effectiveness of the whitening process. Utilising a specially formulated whitening gel containing hydrogen peroxide, we apply it to your teeth before activating it with a state-of-the-art LED light, delivering immediate and noticeable results for those seeking instant enhancement.
For those preferring the convenience of whitening at home, our take-home whitening kit provides a hassle-free solution. Each kit includes a custom-made tray, whitening gel, and detailed instructions from your dentist. Simply wear the tray for the specified duration recommended by your dentist to achieve gradual yet effective whitening results.
