Dentistry covers myriad preventative and treatment options, all calling for modern equipment and up-to-date techniques.
Hilltops Dentistry has extensively trained staff to meet your everyday, emergency and complex treatment needs.
We offer a full range of services in the areas of emergency dentistry, preventative dentistry, infection control, elective and aesthetic treatments such as veneers and bleaching, tooth-coloured fillings, root canal therapy, crowns and bridges, and dentures.
Preventative dentistry involves the prevention of tooth decay and gum disease, which are interrelated because plaque is the major contributor to both diseases.
Every six or twelve months we like to professionally remove all plaque and calculus and to apply fluoride to strengthen the teeth. At this visit we will also carry out a thorough examination of your teeth, gums and general oral health.
We have the most advanced digital x-ray systems that results in a 90{665e1b5b4bb895be4050fcfcb53757b7af48610468dbed1c124bc360ab22ee1d} reduction in exposure to radiation, allowing us periodically to safely check for dental decay and gum disease.
We are soon to include a digital OPG machine to check whole upper and lower jaws useful for looking at wisdom teeth, abscesses, bone cysts and missing permanent teeth.
It’s important that children feel relaxed in a dental environment, so we make sure young children have a positive experience when they come to our rooms.
A first visit may be playing with toys in the surgery while another family member is treated.
By the age of four we would like to check teeth in an informal way, and by five be able to clean children’s teeth.
At six, children should have fluoride applied to their first permanent molars.
During primary school years the emphasis is on keeping the baby teeth healthy and functional, so that the space for the permanent teeth is maintained.
During this time and into teenage years our major goal is to keep the permanent teeth decay free while monitoring jaw growth and bite, and if required, recommending orthodontics.
