The Dental Concepts We Believe In

Minimally Invasive Dentistry

Minimally invasive dentistry is not just the idea that it is desirable to keep the size of the filling as small as possible it is instead the by-product of the final solution. Whilst we believe that restoring tooth structure and minimising the cavity is important, it is not the complete picture of “minimum intervention”. Identifying risk and preventing destruction is just as much our concern.

If it is thought to be appropriate we offer Saliva Testing and bacterial analysis to help diagnose the causes of your dental decay. This way we can tailor your preventative needs with much more certainty. For example we may decide you need to:

  • Increasing your fluoride exposure using topical fluoride – gels, pastes, varnish, rinses.
  • Decreasing levels of harmful bacteria using new oral hygiene techniques and antibacterial mouthwashes.
  • Increasing your saliva flow, pH, buffering capacity using a range of saliva stimulatory products.
  • Increasing your availability of Calcium & Phosphate ions to reverse early disease and repair damage using specially designed preparatory products such as Casein Phosphopeptide- Amorphous Calcium Phosphate CPP-ACP

We firmly believe the best dentistry is no dentistry

Biomimetic Approach

The concept of biomimetics in dentistry aims to enable us to restore the biomechanical, structural and aesthetic integrity of the tooth. By using adhesive technology in combination with porcelain and composite materials we aim to provide, not just, beautiful natural restorations with little or no destruction of healthy tooth tissue but to restore and even surpass the original structural strength of the teeth.

Both of these concepts underpin the basis of all our clinical care.
