Preventative Dentistry: A Community-Centric Approach

Christchurch boasts a diverse population, with a significant proportion of residents aged 65 and above. This demographic insight informs our emphasis on preventative dentistry, aiming to maintain optimal oral health and prevent common dental issues such as tooth decay and gum disease. We advocate for regular dental check-ups and hygiene treatments, believing that early intervention and consistent care are paramount. Our preventative approach is designed to ensure that routine examinations and hygiene treatments are the primary services you require, reflecting our commitment to the long-term well-being of our community.

Comprehensive General Dental Treatments

While our focus is on prevention, we recognize that restorative treatments are sometimes necessary to repair decayed or damaged teeth. Our range of general dental services includes:

• Tooth-Coloured Fillings: Advancements in dental materials now allow us to offer durable, aesthetically pleasing white fillings for both front and back teeth. These restorations blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, providing a functional and visually appealing solution.

• Bioclear Method for Gap Closure: For patients seeking to close gaps between teeth without resorting to crowns, we utilize the innovative Bioclear method. This technique involves the precise placement of composite materials to enhance the appearance and function of your smile.

Children’s Dental Health: Building Foundations Early

We believe in instilling good oral hygiene habits from a young age. Our practice offers complimentary examinations for children under five whose parents are registered with us. Depending on their age and risk of decay, we recommend six-monthly or annual check-ups. From the age of six onwards, we continuously assess the need for orthodontic treatment and facilitate referrals to local specialists when appropriate.

Community Engagement and Values

Christchurch is a community that values health, heritage, and togetherness. We align our practice with these principles by participating in local events and supporting initiatives that promote overall well-being. Our empathetic and authoritative approach ensures that patients of all ages feel valued and understood, fostering a trusting relationship between our dental team and the community we serve.
