Preventative Dentistry Auckland
We offer a total comprehensive range of preventative options in relation to the management of
your oral health.
Constant use from chewing, grinding or clenching can cause dental fillings to wear away, chip or
crack. Although you may not be able to tell that your filling is wearing down or feel any pain, we can
examine your restorations during a regular checkup.

5. Digital XRay
At Metro Dental Care we provide instant xray images from digital sensors which allow immediate
diagnosis. The advantages are that images are displayed instantly on our monitors with significantly
less exposure to xray radiation.
With the software we have invested in this allows images to be enhanced and magnified allowing
more scope in diagnosis.
Communication with digital xrays can be easier and instant by emailing them to other health
providers or dental specialists.
Panoramic XRay Imaging
Panoramic imaging is an important part of our practice at Metro Dental Care which allows a full face
view of the dental and related structures. Panoramic images reveal hidden problems which would not
have been detected with conventional xrays.
Panoramic imaging is essential for any diagnosis associated with impacted wisdom tooth removal and
orthodontic treatment.
Decay Risk Assessment
At Metro Dental Care we use different methods of assessing the risk of dental decay
providing dental treatment and restorative plans based on an individual patient's risk.
We now know that dental decay is a complex disease caused by many different strains
of bacteria. We call these bacteria the biofilm the furry layer that builds up over
minutes and hours after you brush your teeth.
Computerised Treatment Rooms
Your clinical records are on hand at the click of a mouse as Metro Dental Care is fully computerised.
We can update your details, discuss photos and xrays at the chairside and forward your digital details
to specialists instantly. This allows accurate and prompt follow up without the delays of a paper trail.
Digital Photography
We have the facilities of utilising cameras to capture detailed views of your mouth for accurate
diagnosis and treatment planning. Images can be sent by email to our laboratory technician and
specialists.

6. Sterilisation and Cleanliness
Many patients are worried that they might expose themselves to infections. We
understand the trust that you place in us and at Metro Dental Care we are
committed to ensuring your safety in every way by using standard sterilisation
techniques, ie : an autoclave (steam pressure sterilisation), onceonly use of
equipment where appropriate and the highest level of staff training.
All equipment that is used in your mouth is completely sterilised. Our standards
exceed those imposed by regulations and the industry norm.
Autoclave Steam Sterilisation
All instruments capable of withstanding high temperatures are steam sterilised under pressure in an
autoclave. ALL bacteria and viruses are killed. We have the latest generation of autoclave that operates
under a vacuum to ensure that even hollow tubes for example, inside of a dental drill, are totally
sterile.
Ultrasonic Cleaning
Prior to instruments being autoclaved they are hand scrubbed before being placed in an ultrasonic
bath with a disinfectant cleaning solution. This removes any surface debris and begins sterilisation
process.
Chemical Disinfection
All items that cannot tolerate high heat, for example plastics, are disinfected in a chemical solution
formulated to kill infectious bacteria and viruses.
"Pouching" of Sterile Instruments
Most of our instruments are "autoclave pouched" to maintain sterility until the moment they are
required.
Onetime Use Items
Many items are singleuse and are disposed of after each patient. This includes all syringes (needles)
and saliva ejectors (the plastic tips on the suction tube which are placed in the mouth to remove
saliva).
