General Dentistry

If you are looking to replace one or more missing teeth there are a few options. Each solution should be customised to your individual mouth. This depends on your aesthetic requirements, functional requirements, neighbouring teeth and your bite.

Here at Grandis Dental we will assess your dentition and advise you on your options for tooth replacement.

Wisdom teeth are the third molars that normally erupt between the ages of 18-25 years. Sometimes they come through without any problems, but often there is insufficient space in the mouth to allow them to come through properly. They might be growing the wrong way, poorly aligned, infected or lack the space for adequate cleaning.

With early assessment we can reliably predict if wisdom teeth will cause a problem in later life.

The team at Grandis Dental will provide you with extensive information on what to expect if you require your wisdom teeth extracted.

For the relief of pain and tooth wear. Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Disorder is caused by the improper function of the temporomandibular joint.

Once the team at Grandis Dental has assessed your teeth and associated structures we can treat you with a range of therapies which can include a bite splint and sometimes this is in conjunction with muscle relaxing injectables.

Muscle relaxing injectables have traditionally been used for many medical applications over the years and are a highly effective and safe way to treat TMJ disorder. By blocking some of the muscle contraction that causes grinding the joint and associated muscles are held in a more relaxed position.

A bite splint is a hard thin plate that fits over your upper teeth, it provides a smooth surface that is comfortable to bite on, so that the jaw joint is not under pressure from tooth position. It is usually worn every night to protect the joints and muscles from night grinding.
