We discuss how your cleaning regime is progressing and if you are having any difficulty.

We then examine your mouth and take baseline readings at 6 points on every tooth, assessing bone level, bleeding or gingivitis, gum loss and infection level.
4
We then discuss our findings with you and all your treatment options including the po’s and con’s of each.

Some treatment may involve removing hopeless teeth and immediate tooth replacement through dentures, implants or crowns,. This can all be incorporated into our smile makeover.

The gum disease of the remaining teeth is treated with thorough cleaning both above and below the gum line. This procedure can be done numbed up if you prefer.

Now that the procedure is complete we will take the time to discuss your home cleaning routine and recommend any changes or additions to better help you keep your teeth clean and healthy at home.
