Our Services
From routine preventative dentistry through to all cosmetic services as well as endodontic, prosthodontic, orthodontic and hygiene services. While we always aim for the optimum cosmetic results, we firmly believe that patient care comes first; hence functionality and health are our prime concern.
general dentistry
We urge you to be diligent with your 6 monthly check ups and oral hygiene appointments. Patients presenting themselves for their six monthly check-ups seldom develop emergencies which require extensive and costly treatment.
oral hygiene
The golden rule of prevention being cheaper than cure, is non-more valid than in dentistry. At ‘My Dental Clinic’ our hygienists play a key role in ensuring the ongoing health of our patients. By being diligent with your oral hygiene appointments you will go a long way in preventing dental diseases likes tooth decay and gum disease. Periodontitis (gum disease) is widely recognised as a risk factor in cardiovascular-respiratory and arthritic disease as well as diabetes and gastro-intestinal conditions and needs to be treated.
Our Oral Hygienists are expertly qualified to assist you with the following:
- Prophylaxis (professional cleaning) involving scale and polishing to remove plaque, stain and tartar.
- GBT (Guided Biofilm Therapy) – A new and more gently efficient way of dental prophylaxis by means of a fine jet of cleaning particles.
- Application of decay preventative agents, eg: Fluoride treatments.
- Application of tooth desensitising agents.
- Oral hygiene instructions and education.
- Tooth whitening procedures.
- Pit and fissure sealants.
orthodontics
Dr Lombard has undergone courses from the Clinical foundation of Orthopaedics and Orthodontics while practicing abroad in London and Dr Randall-Smith has completed her post-grad diploma in orthodontics and orthopaedics at Pretoria University. Both practitioners therefore have sufficient expertise and training to treat most routine orthodontic procedures. However, when the need arises for specialist othodontic treatment, referrals will be provided.
Aligners (clear braces) are a large part of our orthodontic offering, particularly for adult patients wanting to avoid conventional braces.
root canal
Having completed an Endodontics diploma at the University of Pretoria, Dr Lombard is able to perform the vast majority of root canal treatments in house. Furthermore, as part of the specialisation, Dr Lombard is fully equipped to deal with traumatic injury cases.
cosmetic dentistry
- Dental Implants
- Fillings and Crowns
- Veneers
We specialise in cosmetic dentisty at ‘My Dental Clinic’. We offer a full range of services when it comes to crowns, veneers, porcelain fillings, bridges and implants, and have worked in tandem with one of the best dental laboratories in Johannesburg for almost 20 years.
teeth whitening
We offer a full range of bleaching services and have honed over many years our bleaching to be different from traditional laser/ light bleaching systems, as these systems only offer a temporary solution with a need for the patients to have return visits at greater cost and inconvenience. We are one of the few practices in the country who import directly on an overnight basis the Korr bleaching system, recognised to be one of the best and most effective bleaching systems in the world, due to its different makeup and strict storage protocols. The Korr bleaching system is available as a home or in office bleaching protocols. In addition vital or non vital bleaches – slightly different to that of normal bleaching services, are also available for individual teeth, including traumatised dark or discoloured teeth.
TMJ disorder
Dr Lombard has a special interest in Temperomandibular Joint Disorder. TMJ disorder involves problems affecting the jaw joint which often results in pain or limited movement of the jaw. This can lead to among other things -severe persistent headaches, inability to open your mouth wide, clicking and pain in the joint, sensitivity and clenching of the teeth especially at night. Dr Lombard has attended many specialised courses relating to this disorder, and has had much success in helping his patients overcome many of these problems.
