Teeth Cleaning
Having regular six monthly cleans is extremely important for your teeth and gums health. If a dental clean is not performed regularly a buildup of calculus and tartar will form and you may develop gum disease.
Whitening
Teeth whitening is a dental procedure where the goal of the treatment is to remove discoloured shades or staining from the enamel of the tooth, our dental clinic provides two different options to lighten your teeth.
Fillings
In our clinic, we provide composite fillings that are the same colour as your natural teeth and are more cosmetically appealing compared to amalgam (metal) fillings.
Braces
If you are someone that has concerns about the spaces between your teeth, crowding, crooked or an uneven bite then braces may be an option for you.
Invisalign
Invisalign or clear aligners are a transparent plastic tray that is placed over the teeth, they must be worn all the time except for when you are brushing, eating or drinking anything except for water, at least a total of 22 hours per day.
Root Canal Therapy
Root Canal Therapy is a treatment performed to save a tooth that has been badly damaged due to decay, disease or injury.
Wisdom Teeth
Wisdom teeth are the very last set of teeth that come out around the age of 16-25, some people also call it the third pair of molars. Not everyone develops wisdom teeth, most people that do have wisdom teeth do experience complications with them.
Crowns
A crown is a custom-made porcelain protective layer that goes over the natural tooth. A crown is recommended if you have a weakened tooth from either decay, large fracture or if the tooth has had Root canal treatment, it helps to make the tooth stronger and prevent it from breaking further.
Child Friendly Dentist
We teach children from a very young age that it is easy and fun to maintain good oral health.

Questions & Answers
Why am I experiencing tooth pain?
If you are experiencing tooth pain, there are a variety of reasons why it could be happening. For example, tooth decay, nerve damage, unhappy gums or in desperate need of a clean. The best thing to do in this situation is book an appointment to see one of our amazing dentists so we can come up with a personalised treatment plan for you that gets you pain relief as soon as physically possible.
I do not like the way my teeth look! What are some treatment options that can fix their appearance?
We have a variety of cosmetic treatments available for you at our practice whether you are interested in straightening or whitening. If you have missing teeth and wanted to fill the gaps, then a dental bridge or implant could work for you. There are so many different possibilities available to suit both your budget as well as your goals. Give our team a call to book your consultation appointment now, you’ll be one step closer to achieving the smile you’ve always dreamt of!
How often should I visit the dentist?
We recommend getting your general maintenance clean done with us every 6 months. Not only does it give you a nice and shiny smile but it also is important because calculus cannot be brushed off with your toothbrush and if left too long can cause cavities and gum disease.
It also allows us to act quickly if we find something concerning, rather than leaving it and having to get a more complex treatment. If it does become more complicated it can cost you more money and time and no one wants that!
What toothbrush and toothpaste are best recommended for me to use at home?
Toothbrush: Whether you are using an electric or manual toothbrush, the softer the bristles, the better. Harder bristled toothbrushes can actually cause damage to your gums, tooth enamel and root surface.
Fun Fact: Did you know that you should change your tooth brush or tooth brush head every three months. Over time the bristles slowly wear away, meaning that your toothbrush is not able to clean your teeth to its full potential.
Toothpaste: Fluoride is highly recommended by the ADA so any toothpaste with fluoride in it is amazing! If you have sensitive teeth, we also recommend using sensitive tooth paste.
What is fluoride? Why is it important?
Fluoride is a mineral found in foods, water and most toothpastes. Fluoride protects teeth from damage and prevents bacteria eating away the enamel causing tooth decay.
Why is flossing important?
Flossing is important because it ensures that the spaces between your teeth get clean. Flossing cleans where the toothbrush cannot reach. It also helps to prevent plaque and bacteria build up, which can cause cavities or gum disease. Removing food particles between teeth every day helps prevent cavities, bad breath, and most importantly, gum disease. Food trapped between teeth turns into a breeding ground for bacteria- gross!
Now that I have scheduled a time to see the dentist, do I need to do anything prior to my appointment?
We recommend that new patients arrive 12 minutes early.
What are the benefits of having X-rays done, should I be concerned about the radiation?
Dental X-rays are essential to ensure that the dentist does not miss anything, especially where their naked eyes cannot see. The cavities in between our teeth are usually the most harmful and if they go unnoticed, they can cause damage to the tooth’s nerve which can require further treatment. Fun fact, Dental X-rays rank just above the amount of radiation as eating a banana. You wouldn’t stop eating bananas, would you?
What happens if I have health insurance? Am I able to claim for my treatment?
At our surgery we accept all health funds for our patients convivence. To make it even easy we have a HICAPS machine. This means that we will be able to process your claim instantly so it saves the hassle of having to claim manually with all those receipts. We are also proud preferred BUPA providers.
