Careful, caring dentistry

Lauched last year, Dental Care Today is a centre for comprehensive dental care-providing all aspects of dentistry from dental emergencies and preventive treatments to complex oral rehabilitation.

Dr Desmond Yiu said the clinic’s focus was providing long-term solutions for their patients’ dental needs, and to make advance dental procedures (such as braces and dental implants) as accessible and affordable as possible.

The dental team includes Dr Michelle Ang and Dr Sophia Jing, conversant in Cantonese, Mandarin and Shanghainese.

“We have the competency and thoroughness to provide patients with the best possible dental care,” said Dr Yiu.

Dental Care Today provides a thorough examination and diagnosis to create an individualised treatment plan from which the dentist delivers the most appropriate care for each patient.

Among the services the clinic offers are tooth whitening treatments, veneers and dental bonding that can restore and rejuvenate worn-down smiles, and dental implants used to replace missing teeth.

“We can provide patients with completely new implanted teeth that have the same function and appearance as the original,” he said.

Dr Yiu said people should wait at least an hour after eating before brushing their teeth, as food produces plaque acids that weakens the tooth’s enamel.

“Brushing immediately afterwards wears away the weakened enamel,” he said.
