Periodontists specialise in the treatment and prevention of periodontal (gum) disease, helping you to keep your teeth. They perform procedures to enhance the appearance and function of your teeth and gums, such as improving the symmetry of the gum-lines. For those with missing teeth, periodontists are trained in the placement of dental implants. Dental implants may be used to replace single or multiple missing teeth, and are often considered the ‘next best thing’ to natural teeth. Our periodontists, Dr. James Dawson and Dr. Poppy Horne, look forward to meeting you and assisting with all your periodontal and implant needs.
Southern Dental Specialists offer a variety of treatment options.
Orthodontic treatments include traditional braces, clear ceramic braces and Invisalign ® clear aligners.
Traditional metal braces sit on the front of your teeth. Modern brackets however are much smaller and less noticeable than the braces that many adults remember. You also have the option of choosing "colours" to individualise your braces.
Clear ceramic braces are the same size and shape as traditional metal braces, but the brackets are made of a tooth coloured ceramic material which blends in to the colour of your teeth, making them much less noticeable than traditional braces.
Invisalign consists of a series of customised, virtually invisible, clear aligners which are custom designed to gradually straighten your teeth. The aligners are comfortable to wear, and can be easily removed for eating, drinking, brushing and flossing.
We would love to give you a smile you'd be proud of
