full-mouth-check-up

Full Mouth Check-Up

We suggest a comprehensive thorough full mouth check-up for all new patients. This includes an examination of all teeth and soft tissues in the mouth with Xrays, periodontal assessment (gum assessment) and oral cancer. If there is any work to be done, this exam will provide you with enough information to be able to make a decision on your preferred treatment option.

te-awamutu-hygiene-treatment-1

Hygiene Treatments

We have a very gentle, knowledgeable and experienced dentist and dental hygienist that can treat our patients with gum problems. Maintenance is the key when it comes to looking after gums. As part of your visit you will get a gentle yet thorough clean using the Swiss EMS Airflow machine, warm water and a very fine powder. You’ll find this a lot more comfortable compared to traditional methods of removing plaque and tartar.

Composite Fillings

These are used to repair teeth with decay (holes) or replace older amalgam (silver) fillings. The Tooth Group use well researched, high quality white filling materials that are very durable. Our skill and technique ensures that the white filling mimics the original tooth perfectly.

te-awamutu-painless_rootcanal-1

Root Canal

Trying to save a badly damaged tooth? Removing the nerve of a tooth, cleaning it and sealing it back up is necessary when a tooth is badly decayed or infected. This no problem with the best equipment and material at our finger tips, not only is this treatment quicker than ever but painless too!

crown-caps-1

Crowns

Porcelain or ceramic crowns or “caps” are coverings that fit over teeth. They are only used on severely broken down or heavily filled teeth and protect the remaining tooth left. Crowns are usually tooth coloured, strong, long lasting and restore the natural shape of your tooth preventing decay and improving gum health.

bridges-2

Bridges

There are several ways to replace missing teeth. A bridge is a great option by using teeth on either side of the gap as support for the added fake tooth. The benefit of replacing this gap with a tooth significantly reduces many risks associated with the surrounding teeth.

extractions-1

Extractions

Extractions need to be performed from time to time for a number of different reasons. You can be at ease knowing that the process will be pain free and performed in safe hands.
