Dentistry

What is Dentistry?

Dentistry is a specialised field of medicine dedicated to maintaining the health of your teeth, gums, mouth, and associated structures. While most routine dental visits take place in a dentist's office, there are specific procedures, conditions, or complications that require the advanced support provided by a hospital environment. Hospital dentistry typically involves treating more complex dental conditions, surgical interventions, sedation for anxious patients, paediatric dentistry, or managing emergency oral health situations.

At Busamed, our experienced oral and dental surgeons collaborate closely with other medical professionals to deliver comprehensive oral healthcare that addresses both general and complex dental problems. In our caring and supportive hospital environment, we provide effective dental treatments with patient comfort and safety as our highest priorities.

Our oral and dental surgeons work in state-of-the-art operating theatres, equipped with the latest diagnostic imaging tools and surgical equipment. This enables us to accurately diagnose and treat complex dental conditions with precision and efficiency.

Our interdisciplinary approach ensures that dental procedures performed at Busamed are integrated seamlessly with other medical specialities, providing patients with holistic care.

Additionally, Busamed Lowveld Private Hospital, Busamed Modderfontein Private Hospital, and other facilities across the country provide purpose-built, modern dental surgery environments that facilitate smoother procedures, quicker recoveries, and reduced patient anxiety.
