Intraoral scanner
The Sirona CEREC intraoral scanner replaces traditional impressions with a 3D digital scan, for precise dental work that can sometimes be done the same day.
Dental laser
How the Biolase EPIC X laser helps non-surgical periodontal therapy: less bleeding, a strong bactericidal effect and faster recovery.
Dental veneers
Dental veneers correct the colour, shape and small position defects of your teeth. When they're used, and how long they last: 15 years on average.
Dental fillings
What a dental filling is, when you need one, and how porcelain inlays and onlays compare with composite resin fillings.
Dental implants
What dental implants are, what they're used for, how they're placed in the jawbone and how long they last: generally 10–20 years with good care.
Teeth whitening
Teeth whitening options, from professional cleaning to the Zoom lamp and at-home trays, and the cases where whitening isn't recommended.
Microscope-assisted dentistry
Why the microscope matters in dentistry: over 25× magnification makes root canal treatment, fillings, scaling and crown preparation more precise.
Orthodontic treatment
How braces work, when to see an orthodontist, and why ceramic or sapphire brackets make orthodontic treatment a discreet option for adults too.
