General and Preventive Dentistry
Maintenance of the health of your gums is the bedrock of a healthy mouth. No matter how fancy a crown you put on a tooth, if that tooth is supported by diseased and failing gums, trouble is sure to follow. StKildadentist prides itself on the thoroughness of its cleans and the monitoring and treatment of periodontal conditions.
StKildadentist also works in close cooperation with specialist periodontists when addressing more aggressive periodontal conditions in order to try and obtain the best possible outcomes for our patients.
We employ a state-of-the-art automated email and SMS recall system to stay in touch and help keep your routine maintenance on track!
For more detailed information on gum and periodontal disease, please view or download the practice information sheet at the bottom of this page.
When it comes to your teeth themselves, modern materials technology such as adhesive fissure sealants can help prevent decay getting a foothold in at-risk teeth.
In cases where decay has a foothold, minimal intervention preparation techniques, combined with adhesive tooth-coloured filling materials, means the decay can be removed with the least amount of damage to the tooth.
Scientific literature shows the more tooth structure that is removed, the worse the prognosis for a tooth is over a lifetime. Hence early minimal intervention to arrest any problems can be crucial in determining the future outcome for your teeth.
StKildadentist uses the latest in proven adhesive and preventive technologies. Dr Staddon also uses a state-of-the-art Zeiss operating microscope with a magnification of up to 24 times, to detect early problems and treat them as conservatively as possible.
