Teckkam Dental Care

Our dentists undertake a full range of general dental treatments, including fillings, root canal therapy, extractions, crowns, bridges, orthodontics and dentures. Our team is also dedicated to preventative dentistry and work hard to keep your teeth and gums healthy and your breath fresh. We also treat dental emergencies quickly, to ensure faster healing and avoid subsequent dental problems.

As we get older, our teeth naturally darken, a process that is accelerated by some of the food we eat. Habits such as smoking, and drinking lots of tea, coffee, fruit juices and red wine, add to staining which affects the overall colour of our teeth. Tooth whitening, also known as 'bleaching', can be an effective way of lightening the natural colour of your teeth without damaging the tooth surface.

Increasingly, as our patients are becoming more savvy about taking good care of their teeth, we are seeing patients for more cosmetic reasons. No matter how clean and healthy your teeth are, age takes its toll by naturally yellowing the dentine and also teeth can shift and drift as years go by.

Luckily, there's a lot we can do to help reverse some of these effects and not only restore your teeth's youthful looks, but give you the smile you never had but always wanted.Cosmetic dentistry includes a variety of treatments, ranging from white fillings (composites) and restorations to teeth whitening to teeth straightening (orthodontics).

Botuinum Toxin type A is a form of naturally ocurring protein which temporarily prevents muscles from contracting and creating wrinkles. Developed in the 1970's, it has received FDA approval for cosmetic use in 1997. It has now been used in facial aesthetics for over 20 years. It relaxes the muscles resulting in a smoothing of the overlying skin.

When your natural teeth have been damaged, whether by decay or accident, we aim to restore the tooth if possible as an alternative to extraction. Restorative treatments range from simple composite (white) fillings to bridges and include ceramic crowns and veneers. At Teckkam Dental, we are pleased to offer the latest composite technology - Grandio Composite.
