Initial consultation
Your initial consultation may be longer than a regular dental check. It is an appointment where we really get to know about your lifestyle and past medical and dental history. We will, of course, examine the head and neck structures related to the mouth before examining the mouth itself. Low radiation digital radiographs (x-rays) will be taken and other special tests may be done or ordered. Once we have all the information we need, we will present you with a diagnosis and discuss treatment options.
Periodontal care
A procedure to clean your teeth thoroughly is scaling and polishing. The hard tartar which forms over the teeth, trapped food and the plaque containing germs are cleaned with scaling. After cleaning the surface of your teeth, polishing is done to remove stains from coffee, tobacco, tea & wine.
Replacement of amalgam fillings
The IAOMT has created a very specific procedure that ensures safe mercury removal from patients’ mouths while minimising possible harm to the patient, dentist, dental assistant and environment. We follow this strict protocol which involves the patient, dentist, and assistant wearing specialised personal protection. We also use specific types of suction, filtration and separation of mercury which are adapted specifically for this process.
Metal-free braces
Invisalign is a BPA-free aligner technology to straighten your smile. Invisalign aligners are removable. Unlike braces, you can eat and drink what you want during treatment. You can also brush and floss normally to maintain good level of oral hygiene. Invisalign is very comfortable. There are no metal brackets or wires as with braces to cause mouth irritation. No metal or wires also means you spend less time in the doctor’s chair getting adjustments.
Ceramic dental implants
Yttrium-stabilized tetragonal polycrystalline zirconia (Y-TZP) is the material used for zirconia implants. They are also known as ceramic implants. Zirconia implants are a viable alternative to titanium and may be the right choice for you after discussion with your dentist.
Crowns and bridges
When compared to other dental crowns, zirconia dental crowns is one of the most popular types and made of ceramic. Zirconia dental crowns are long-lasting and easy to wear. Zirconia or milled crowns are digitally made either in a dental clinic that has the software and hardware to produce them or in a dental lab.
Myobrace
Myobrace® is a treatment modality that trains the orofacial muscles to adopt good habits to enhance breathing, chewing function and to eliminate bad oral posture habits which contribute to the formation of a malocclusion. Myobrace is also known as a no-braces pre-orthodontic approach in Singapore.
PRF
PRF (platelet rich fibrin) naturally promotes bone healing after dental implant surgery, tooth extraction, wisdom teeth removal and bone grafting. It is made by drawing a small amount of your blood and spinning it in a centrifuge.
