Deep Knowledge
Have Some Questions?
Staining from coffee, tea, red wine, tobacco or natural aging is very common, and most of it responds beautifully to professional treatment.
At Mathee Dental Studio we offer in-chair whitening, professional take-home kits and targeted single-tooth whitening, all customised to your smile. Book a consultation and we’ll help you lift the stains and restore a brighter, more youthful look.
Over time, everyday habits and the natural ageing process can leave teeth looking dull or yellowish. Professional whitening gently breaks down deep organic stains to restore a brighter, more youthful smile — without damaging your enamel.
Our team in Somerset West will assess the cause of the discolouration and recommend the safest, most effective whitening option for you.
Ongoing sensitivity or soreness is often a sign of an underlying issue such as enamel wear, recession, decay or even an infection. It’s best not to ignore it.
At Mathee Dental Studio we’ll examine your teeth and gums, identify the cause, and recommend the right treatment — whether that’s a desensitising routine, a filling, or a more involved restoration — so you can get back to eating and drinking comfortably.
Persistent bad breath is frequently linked to plaque build-up, gum disease or trapped food between the teeth. A professional scale and polish combined with a good home-care routine usually makes a big difference.
Our hygienist-led preventive care in Somerset West removes the bacteria causing the odour and gives you the guidance to keep your breath fresh long-term.
Misaligned or crowded teeth are harder to clean, which can raise your risk of decay and gum disease, and they can also cause uneven wear or jaw strain.
Orthodontic treatment — from clear aligners and fixed braces to functional appliances — addresses both the appearance and the health of your smile. Book a consultation to find out the best alignment option for you.
Missing teeth can affect your confidence, your ability to chew and your long-term oral health. There are several effective solutions, including dental implants (the closest to a natural tooth), bridges and dentures.
At Mathee Dental Studio we’ll assess your situation and help you choose the right restoration to replace the gaps and keep your smile healthy and complete.
