Cleanings & Prevention
A preventive program is a cooperative effort by the patient, dentist, and dental staff to preserve the natural dentition and supporting structures by preventing the onset, progress, and recurrence of dental diseases and conditions.
Preventing dental disease starts at home with good oral hygiene and a balanced diet. It is continued in the dental office by the efforts of your dentist and dental hygienist to promote, restore, and maintain your oral health.
Prevention also includes regular dental exams, cleanings, and x-rays. Sealants and fluoride are also great preventive treatments that help protect the teeth.
Prevention helps avoid serious and costly dental problems and is the key to having a healthy, confident, beautiful smile.

Hello Dr Spiros Just a quick note to tell you again how much appreciated your care and attention to my problem was. I would have to go very far to find a finer and more caring doctor if ever to be found! I will be visiting Dr G in Cape Town on Wednesday to finalise the issue. Most important I am out of pain and all wrinkles have returned to the right side of my face. Once again, many many thanks. Best regards

Hi Dr Kavalieratos Having healthy gums and teeth is something that we all take for granted. It's only when things go wrong that we search for alternatives. I have had the experience of rehabilitating my own mouth over the last few years and it is only the result of excellent Dentists and Surgeons, as well as up to date technology like Dental Implants that I feel like I have got a second chance of enjoying the benefits of a healthy mouth. A dental implant is like having a new tooth in your mouth. It's impossible to tell the difference between an implant and a real tooth. Multiple implants is also a possibility. Nothing seems impossible these days - some personal research is beneficial in order to gain more practical understanding of Dental Implants. It's worth all the preparation, planning, surgery and cost. Just make sure you pick the right dental team. Thanks to Dr AA, Dr SK, Dr MS Kind regards
