Enchancing Your Smile

Smile with Confidence

A gorgeous, confident, smile is vital to knowing that you are looking your best. It fills you with confidence and makes you feel good, which means you are even more likely to show off your smile! Unsurprisingly, it can also have a positive effect on your career, your social life and even your love life. We offer a wide choice of cosmetic treatments, including tooth whitening, tooth-coloured fillings, dental implants, and dental veneers.

Preventive Dentistry

Preventive dentistry is the practice of caring for your teeth to keep them healthy. This helps to avoid cavities, gum disease, enamel wear, and more. There are many forms of preventive dentistry, such as daily brushing and dental cleanings. To maintain optimal oral health, it is recommended to have dental visits at regular intervals determined by a dentist. These practices are designed to ensure that teeth are clean, strong, and white. Children should be taught proper oral hygiene at an early age. Everyone benefits from preventive dentistry. Children, in particular, benefit because it allows their newly developing adult teeth to come in strong and healthy. Dental sealants and topical fluoride treatments help prevent decay in your children’s teeth. If you’re an aging adult, you can benefit from preventive dentistry because it helps you to keep your real teeth. Oral health is connected to the health of your body as a whole. This is because the mouth is a breeding ground for harmful bacteria. Maintaining a clean mouth benefits your overall health.




Orthodontics

However old you are, it’s never too late to have a straight, confident smile! We can straighten over-crowded or misaligned teeth so that you will look and feel fantastic. A rapidly increasing number of adults are now having orthodontic treatment, thanks largely to the effective new techniques and virtually invisible appliances we are able to offer. We also offer orthodontic treatment to children. Our principal dentist Mark Sciberras is a registered specialist orthodontist, which means you can be confident of receiving the best possible treatment. He is also a certified practitioner of Invisalign® and IncognitoTM.

Dental Implants
Dental implants are the modern, ideal way of replacing missing teeth in a realistic, strong and permanent way. Dental implants can be used to replace one missing tooth, several missing teeth, or a whole upper or lower set of teeth.

A consultation appointment for possible replacement of missing teeth with implants will include an intra-oral digital scan and a 3D digital jaw bone scan. These two digital scans will then be combined in a planning software, and the implant/s placed in the optimal position for stability, aesthetics and function. Once the position is finalised, a surgical template is manufactured and delivered to the practice.

On the day of implant insertion, local anaesthetic will be administered. The surgical template is placed in the mouth and the implants guided into position in the bone. In the great majority of cases, the gum is not cut open and no stitches are inserted.

Post-operative healing is usually uneventful, with most patients reporting slight pain and swelling, and maybe slight bleeding. The final restoration ( the new teeth ) will eventually be fitted on the implant/s after an adequate period of healing.
