Natural Smiles Dental St Heliers can thoroughly assess your teeth and gums using visual examination, digital X-ray technology, and radiographs.

The local practice recommends you arrange a check-up every six to twelve months, regardless of whether you have concerns with your dental or oral health. This is to ensure that the team can identify potential issues early on before they become more concerning or require you to undergo more extensive care.
Natural Smile Dental’s digital X-ray system can detect problems that may not be obvious on visual examination. It uses a small, localised ray to limit your exposure to radiation.
‘X-rays enable us to see hidden issues inside your teeth. Tooth decay can begin months or even years before it causes a toothache,” a spokesperson for the practice explained.
During routine check-ups, the team can also advise you on maintaining proper oral health at home. After your examination, the practitioners may recommend you book a dental hygiene appointment. Using EMS Airflow technology, they can painlessly remove plaque, biofilm, and tartar build-up that could otherwise lead to cavities and gum disease. This new hygiene technique cleans and polishes teeth without scraping them or causing irritation.

Natural Smile Dental favours minimally invasive dentistry practices to maintain your comfort. However, in cases where dental health issues require more intensive treatment, the team is equipped to offer you ceramic crowns that mimic the natural look and feel of your real teeth.
The practice uses CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) crowns, which can be created and fitted in a single session, covering your original tooth and restoring proper function. Natural Smile Dental founder Dr Dave Richards is the Kiwi national trainer in digital dentistry for CEREC and is a member of the New Zealand Dental Association.
Natural Smiles Dental St Heliers balances comfort and care with its minimally-invasive, preventative check-ups and treatments — call 09 585 0205 to find restorative and cosmetic dentistry services near you!
