Dental treatments available in South Africa with Dental Retreat South Africa

• Dental implants: Dental implants are titanium roots which are inserted into the jawbone to mimic a natural tooth root. Though there are several options for missing teeth, implants have been proven to be the most durable and practical procedure.
• Dental veneers: Dental veneers are made to improve the appearance of the front surface of teeth. They are made from custom-made shells of tooth-porcelain white material which are bound to the front of the teeth to change their size, shape and colour.
• Dental crowns: Dental crowns which are also called 'caps' are used to repair damaged teeth. Crowns are sometimes used on a tooth with excessive decay, to shield a cracked tooth from further damage or to replace an existing crown.
• Dental bridges: Dental bridges connect the gap that is made from one or more missing teeth, which is made of two crowns for the teeth which are on each side of the gap. A dental bridge can be made from alloys, gold, porcelain or a mixture of these materials.
• Tooth whitening / bleaching: Teeth can often become stained from eating certain foods, smoking, from a range of drinks such as tea, coffee and red wine and also as a result of poor oral hygiene. Tooth whitening is one of the most common cosmetic dentistry procedures.
• Dentures: The revolution of implants has changed the treatment that is available in terms of fixed and removable prosthetic dentistry treatment. Removable dentures are reliant on a comprehensive knowledge of denture manufacturing.
• Holistic dentistry: Holistic dentistry is a form of dentistry which states that oral health has an impact on overall health. Holistic dentists will use the least invasive procedures and biocompatible dental materials and equipment as they recognise that the materials used and the procedure itself can have both a positive and negative impact.
