Your child’s first visit to the dentist is very important and will shape how they feel about going to the dentist for life. With a relaxed and open approach, children respond very well during treatment and can even be calmer than many adults. At Mascot Dental Clinic, we are committed to making your child’s dental experiences fun and comfortable.

Modern Orthodontic Solutions at Mascot Dental Clinic. The sad fact is, 10 years after completion of orthodontic treatment, only 30-50% of patients retain satisfactory teeth alignment¹. After 20 years, this further drops to only 10% of patients¹. While most changes to teeth alignment are due to late jaw changes between the ages of 20-30 years, tooth movement and crowding can still continue in your 50’s or 60’s².

Clear aligners are the invisible alternative to braces! If you’ve ever thought about straightening your teeth without braces, then this may be the ideal option for you.

Everyone wants to have full, healthy set of teeth. However, sometimes it can’t be helped - if a tooth is severely decayed, very loose or broken beyond repair, then it may need to be extracted.
