Frequently asked questions

Ask us a question

• Are dental implants safe, and how does the body react to implant materials?−

  Dental implants are a safe, effective option for tooth replacement. They are made from biocompatible materials such as titanium, which the body typically accepts without adverse reaction. Osseointegration — where the implant fuses with the jawbone — is what gives the implant its stability. As with any surgical procedure there are risks, but they are relatively rare and minimised with careful planning, technique and aftercare. Discuss any medical conditions with your dentist so suitability can be assessed.

• What factors influence how long teeth straightening takes?+

  The duration of teeth straightening varies with the severity of the issue being corrected, the appliance used and how closely you follow the plan. Minor corrections may take a few months, while comprehensive alignment and bite adjustment can take two to three years. Age, jawbone density and how far the teeth need to move all affect the timeline, and regular appointments are needed to adjust the appliance and monitor progress.

• Can general dentistry help with bad breath?+

  Yes — general dentistry plays a significant role in managing and preventing bad breath, which is often caused by bacteria in the mouth, decaying food particles, gum disease or neglected dental care. Regular check-ups and cleaning help eliminate the sources, and your dentist can identify whether there is a more serious underlying cause and recommend treatment.
