Our Services
Family & Children Dentistry
At St. Andrew's Dental Surgeons, we're committed to providing comprehensive oral healthcare for the entire family.
Our child-friendly practice offers specialized pediatric dentistry services, ensuring children become familiar with dental care from an early age, following the wisdom of "Prevention is better than cure". We emphasize the significance of maintaining good oral health, even in baby teeth, as they influence the proper eruption of permanent teeth, facial development, and speech. A beautiful smile in childhood fosters emotional stability and self-confidence.
Additionally, we assess orofacial and dentoalveolar growth, allowing us to intervene and correct anomalies in their early stages.
Our goal is to care for patients from a young age throughout their lives.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Your smile communicates a lot about you, reflecting confidence, reliability, and security.
Crafting a beautiful smile involves various dental procedures like teeth whitening, crowns, veneers, implants, and orthodontics.
Our dentists are well-equipped to recommend the best options for achieving the smile you desire.
We offer in-office teeth whitening and custom take-home whitening kits for a brighter smile at your convenience. These kits use safe whitening gels with 20% carbamide peroxide or less, allowing easy touch-ups whenever you prefer. 'Take-Home' Teeth-Whitening is gaining popularity among our patients for its effectiveness and convenience.
Preventive & Restorative Dentistry
Modern dentistry prioritizes prevention, preservation, and minimally-invasive approaches.
St. Andrew's Dental Surgeons focuses on educating patients about dental issues and their impact on overall health. Through diet, habit changes, and oral health education, we aim to prevent dental problems.
We promote minimally-invasive techniques, such as using fluoride and Casein Phospho-Peptide stabilized Amorphous Calcium Phosphate to prevent and reverse early-stage cavities.
Advanced adhesive dentistry allows for aesthetic and long-lasting tooth-colored fillings. When teeth are severely damaged, options like crowns, inlays, or onlays may be needed. Some cases may require root canal treatment.
For missing teeth, we offer solutions like bridges, removable dentures, and implant-supported prostheses.
Today's dentistry values preservation and patient education to ensure oral health and overall well-being.
Orthodontics
Do you desire a better smile?
Crooked, crowded, or misaligned teeth can lead to oral health issues and discomfort.
Malalignment makes cleaning difficult and increases the risk of tooth decay and gum disease. It can also cause problems with chewing, leading to headaches, earaches, neck aches, and facial pain.
Fortunately, various solutions exist, such as traditional braces, ceramic brackets for a less noticeable option, and Invisalign for a comfortable, bracket-free experience.
Invisalign offers sequential custom-made aligners, allowing you to achieve your desired teeth alignment discreetly and easily.
Implant Dentistry
When you lose one or more teeth, several treatment options are available.
You can choose to replace the missing teeth with a removable partial or complete denture, a fixed bridge, or dental implants.
Dental implants, made of biocompatible titanium screws surgically inserted into the jawbone, offer a safe and conservative solution. Unlike bridges, they don't require drilling neighboring teeth, and they provide a natural look and feel, functioning like your original teeth for speaking, eating, and overall comfort.
Dental implants can be considered as your second set of permanent teeth, ensuring a reliable and long-lasting solution.
