Keeping your smile beautiful and healthy is a lifetime commitment, and at Duxton Dental we are here to support you to proactively maintain your oral health. Quality dental care is more than a bi-annual examination and reactive dental treatment, it’s about identifying the appropriate preventative measures that need to be taken to avoid future oral health issues and unnecessary costs.

Using technology to shape your smile

Duxton Dental is passionate about providing our patients with minimally invasive dental care. How do we do it? We partner the latest innovations in diagnostic and dental treatment technologies to boost our patients’ oral health. This is especially beneficial for our younger patients to lessen any anxiety they may have about visiting a dentist. After all, if children have positive dental care experiences while they are young, they will be more likely to embrace a good oral hygiene routine which significantly impacts on their future general health.

When you first join us, we undertake a thorough dental examination using the latest technologies to provide a complete picture of your current oral health. Photos, jaw scans, and diagnostic lasers are used to complete the assessment of:


  • Bone density and gum health
  • Jaw joints and bite – the mechanical aspects of your mouth
  • Teeth – fractures, decay and the structural integrity of the crown and root
  • Cosmetic appearance

Plus:


  • Oral cancer screen
  • Saliva testing for the early detection of disease

Why so many tests?

Our initial examination is very detailed, and the exam results are collated and analysed to create a bespoke dental care plan that is relevant for you today, but just as importantly, for the future too. We take a holistic approach when we evaluate your dental health as your mouth is essentially a mirror of your general health which is why our examination is so thorough. Our dental examination provides us with a significant vantage point for the early detection of systemic disease as oral inflammation can be a marker for:


  • Heart disease
  • Blood clots
  • Decreased kidney function
  • Osteoporosis
  • Arthritis
  • Stomach ulcers
  • Pre-term births
  • Stress

Tired of your crooked teeth? Desperate to be able to smile with confidence? When it comes to straightening your teeth, the first thing that usually comes to mind is the aesthetic impact of cosmetic dental treatment . And with good reason: orthodontic braces can transform even the most challenging set of teeth into a Hollywood-worthy smile. With dental care innovations skyrocketing over the past decade, Invisalign is the comparatively new kid on the orthodontic block – delivering the same results as traditional braces but with near invisibility, supreme convenience and incomparable comfort. But Invisalign offers much more than just a cosmetic dentistry upgrade and welcome boost to your self-esteem and confidence. As one of the leading options for teeth alignment, Invisalign transforms not only the appearance of your teeth but also improves your overall dental health. Whether you’re looking for a discreet solution for teeth straightening or seeking better dental care, Invisalign treatment provides several benefits that go beyond aesthetics. At Duxton Dental clinic in Christchurch, quality Invisalign treatment is tailored to your individual and unique needs to give you that perfect smile but also the health benefits of Invisalign: Improved oral hygiene and health A major benefit of Invisalign treatment is its ability to enhance your oral hygiene routine. The wires and brackets of traditional orthodontic braces can make brushing and flossing a challenging task, which can result in poor oral hygiene during the teeth straightening process. However, with Invisalign, the removable aligners allow you to brush and floss your teeth without any obstructions. During the Invisalign process, you’ll notice how straighter teeth make it easier to clean your entire mouth thoroughly. This ease of cleaning maintains overall dental health by ensuring plaque and food particles don’t get trapped around teeth, decreasing the risk of cavities and gum disease and promoting healthier gums and teeth.
