At Dent1st we believe some treatments can only be performed by using the latest technology. We know from experience how frustrating it can be to prepare for a treatment, to allocate the time and funds to it, only to discover on the day of the treatment that it is not possible to complete after all.

For this reason we believe 3D planning and 3G diagnostics are vitally important to the future of dentistry. 3D Imaging is producing reliable, exact and sufficient amount of data to prepare…

Heat, vibration and pressure are the primary causes of pain associated with the use of the traditional dental drill. Since cutting both hard and soft tissues (teeth and gums) with the WaterLase® does not generate heat, vibration or pressure, many dental procedures can be performed pain-free with fewer shots, less need for anaesthesia, less use of the drill and fewer numb lips!

Additionally, using the WaterLase® for gum procedures reduces bleeding, post-operative pain, swelling and the…

E-max Crowns - New all-porcelain crowns. The core of the e-max crown is as strong as metal, tooth-colored so there is no opaque layer, resulting in stronger and more life-like beautiful crowns. E-max crowns can be made thinner and finer, so they look more natural.

Cerec® technology is a computer aided design(CAD) technology that allows patients to have their crown or caps shaped and fabricated within the same 90 minute visit.

Porcelain-fused-to-metal dental crowns (PFMs) have a metal shell on which is fused a veneer of porcelain in a high heat oven. The metal provides strong compression and tensile strength, and the porcelain gives the crown a white tooth-like appearance, suitable for front teeth restorations.

Zirconia Crowns - Sometimes called 'white steel', zirconia is a material that is used to create quality crowns that are whiter, brighter, and more translucent than Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal crowns.

A dental veneer is like a thin shell made out of high strength porcelain usually some kind of zirconia or cheaper composite materials. They are customised and made specifically for the location in the mouth and then specially glued to the front and the bottom side of the tooth.

A dental veneer is suitable to treat dental conditions like a minimally crooked tooth, chipped teeth, discoloured teeth, or they can even be used to adjust spaces in between the teeth.
