Dental Care Innovations to Keep You Smiling
Our new dental patient examination is a family must!
Keeping your smile beautiful and healthy isa 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 dentalcare. 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. Ourdental 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
From our perspective, the thorough initial examination is a critical tool that allows us to track and monitor any changes to your oral health and supports our ethos of preventative dental health care. In short, the technology that we have access to provides greater insights into the dynamics of your mouth, your overall health and gives us the ability to deliver the most effective ongoing dental care.
Each of our patients is unique and has different requirements, so from the offset, you are given tailored dental care to suit your specific and individual needs. Our success is measured by your satisfaction of the dental services that we provide. We collaborate with you to fully understand what your expectations,goals and needs are, before we develop a strategy to exceed them. So, whether you are booking your child’s first appointment, researching orthodontic treatment options to straighten your teeth, or are experiencing an emergency dental crisis, we can work with you to achieve optimal results.
