General Dentistry

Modern, preventative and restorative care designed to maintain your oral health, address issues early, and support long-term function and comfort.

What Is General Dentistry

General dentistry at Mia Cape Town focuses on preventative, restorative and routine dental care to maintain long-term oral health. Our approach combines modern technology with a minimally invasive philosophy to detect issues early, prevent decay and gum disease, and restore teeth with precision and comfort. From check-ups and professional cleans to fillings, crowns and emergency care, we provide comprehensive dental treatment designed to keep your smile healthy, functional and looking its best.


Night Guards

Custom-made night guards protect your teeth from grinding (bruxism) and clenching while you sleep. Designed for comfort and precision, they help reduce wear, relieve headache and jaw tension, and prevent long-term damage and tooth fractures.


Fillings

Tooth-coloured fillings are used to restore areas affected by decay or minor damage. We use durable, aesthetic materials to rebuild strength while maintaining a natural appearance.


Dentures

We offer custom dentures to restore function and appearance for missing teeth. Designed for a secure fit and natural look, dentures support chewing, speech, and facial structure.


Root Canals

Root canal treatment removes infection from within the tooth, relieving pain and preserving the natural tooth structure. Using modern techniques, treatment is precise, effective, and more comfortable than ever.


Crowns & Overlays

Crowns and overlays are used to restore and protect damaged or weakened teeth. These custom restorations improve strength, function, and aesthetics, blending seamlessly with your natural smile.


Extractions

When a tooth cannot be restored, gentle extraction may be necessary to protect your overall oral health. We focus on a careful, minimally invasive approach to ensure comfort and proper healing.


Emergency Care

We provide prompt care for dental emergencies, including toothaches, broken teeth, infections, and trauma. Early treatment helps prevent complications and relieve discomfort quickly.


Examinations & Cleaning

Comprehensive check-ups and professional cleans form the foundation of preventative care. We assess your oral health, remove plaque build-up, and identify any concerns early.


Gum Therapy

Targeted gum treatments help manage inflammation, bleeding, and early signs of gum disease. By restoring gum health, we protect the foundation of your teeth and support long-term oral wellness.

Frequently Asked Questions

As we've mentioned, even if you are doing a perfect job of taking care of your teeth at home, it's still vital to see the dentist for regular check-ups and cleanings. With our advanced dental equipment, we can reach into crevices that floss and toothbrushes cannot. Not only this, but we perform X-rays and physical exams to ensure you don't have any signs of decay, cavities, misalignment or gum disease.

We advise patients to visit us for a comprehensive evaluation and dental cleaning every 6 months. This way, we can spot any issues before they develop too severely.

There are many ways you can ensure that you keep your teeth healthy in between dental visits, including:
  • Brush and floss your teeth twice a day every day
  • Use a fluoride toothpaste
  • Avoid hard, crunchy foods that could damage or crack teeth
  • Don't use your teeth to open bottles or containers
  • Avoid lifestyle habits that damage your teeth, such as smoking

You should change your toothbrush every 3 months. Toothbrushes are breeding grounds for bacteria and lose their effectiveness after a period of time, so it's necessary to replace them regularly.

Cavities are small holes that form on the tooth caused by decay. When plaque on the teeth combines with certain sugars and starches in food, it creates an acid that eats away at the tooth's enamel. It's essential to have a cavity treated as soon as possible to prevent further issues from developing. Cavities can be treated with fillings and other restorations.

Periodontal disease, or gum disease, is an infection of the gums that develops from too much plaque and tartar on the teeth. In the early stages, gum disease is still completely treatable. However, if the disease progresses, it can lead to tooth loss and bone damage. The symptoms of gum disease are:
  • Receding gum line
  • Loss of a tooth or teeth
  • Bad breath
  • Swollen, red and irritated gums
  • Tooth sensitivity
