Fillings

Used to prevent the spread of tooth decay or correct any cosmetic damage, a filling is just one of the ways our dentist can preserve your health. Before placement, any rot must be drilled out. We offer local anaesthesia along with sedation to ensure maximum comfort for our patients. There are two different types of fillings:

Amalgam: Also known as silver fillings, these are strong & cost-effective.
Composite resin: Ideal for repairing chipped or cracked teeth. The colour can be customised to match your natural teeth.

Wisdom Teeth Extractions

Our dentists make every effort to preserve your natural teeth. However, extractions are necessary when decay has made the tooth unsalvageable or when you have advanced periodontal disease. When a tooth is malformed, damaged, impacted, or ingrown, different procedures are used, but all extractions are considered surgery. Depending on which tooth is removed, we can offer you a replacement in the form of a dental implant or oral prosthetic. Are your wisdom teeth bothering you? Contact us to book an appointment today.

Cleaning & Prevention

Dentistry is founded on the principle of prevention. All patients are recommended biannual cleanings and examinations. Not only do they help you quash dental problems before they arise, they leave your gums healthier, and your teeth cleaner and whiter. A professional cleaning removes hard plaque that cannot be removed by brushing and flossing alone.

Teeth Whitening

Professional teeth whitening is faster, more effective, and longer lasting than treatments you find over the counter. As we age, our teeth darken over time. We can brighten your teeth by five to ten shades in a single session but maintaining good oral hygiene and steering away from certain foods and beverages will help keep any future whitening services to a minimum. We provide professional in office and take-home teeth whitening kits. Contact us on 32675473 for information teeth whitening options.

Root Canal Treatment

Our experienced dentists at Banyo Dental offer root canal treatment to save infected, broken or decayed tooth.

When the pulp chamber and root canals become infected by bacteria or as a result of trauma, it becomes necessary to remove inflamed and dead tissue from this area to reduce pain and prevent further infection. After sufficient disinfection and cleaning procedures have been done, a rubber filling material is used to fill the root canal spaces.

Root canal therapies have a high rate of success however time is essential – delaying the treatment may limit the chances of success and could result in accelerating the loss of the tooth. Treatment failures can also result if a crown or protective restoration is not placed on a tooth, especially a back tooth, within a short time after completing the root canal treatment.

Mouthguards

Custom fitted mouthguards are essential for the prevention of dental and facial injuries in participants in contact sports. These provide infinitely more protection than stock boil-and-bite mouthguards available commercially. The benefits of custom fitted mouthguards:

Better fit
Improved effect in reduction of injuries
Choose your colours
Increased durability

Periodontal Maintenance & Gum Disease Prevention

Among the causes of periodontal (gum) disease are genetic susceptibility, smoking, and other illnesses like diabetes. Periodontal maintenance involves removing plaque and tartar from above and below the gum line. Most gum diseases are preventable with proper oral hygiene. However, what can start out as gingivitis (inflamed or bleeding gums) can quickly turn into periodontitis. In such cases, gums pull away from the tooth to create “pockets,” thereby exposing a dental root to infection. It can also lead to prolonged bad breath, loose teeth, painful chewing, and other complications.
