I'm embarrassed by my teeth. What can I do?
- Whether your teeth are crooked, broken, discoloured or missing, there’s always a solution. Often that solution is quicker, easier and less expensive than you might expect. After examining your teeth, gums and mouth thoroughly and discussing your aims and wishes , we'll tailor the solution to fit in with your schedule, lifestyle and budget. You’ll finally have the smile you’ve always wanted.
HELP! I need to see a dentist TODAY.
- No problem. We allow time in each weekday to help our patients in need. Phone us now: 9818 1930 . If right now is after 5pm on a weekday, or if it’s the weekend, phone 9818 1930 and we'll direct you to the closest After hours Emergency service. Have a pen ready.
I'd like whiter teeth. What's the best way?
- That depends on the reason your teeth are discoloured. We’ll assess your teeth and explain all your options. Each method is completely safe and highly effective. Your teeth might even just need stains thoroughly removed. For most people, a Take Home kit will transform darkened or yellowed teeth to dazzling white. You place a gentle whitening gel into Custom-made covers, which then slip comfortably over your teeth. Wear the covers overnight for about two weeks. Done at home at a time convenient to you. Then enjoy your dazzlingly white new smile.Click here for more info.
I just want to know the best way to look after my teeth.
- Great! We’re here to help. And we’re just as keen to keep your mouth healthy as you are. After thoroughly examining your mouth, talking with you and gaining insight into your aims, lifestyle and dexterity, we’ll demonstrate the best ways for you to clean your teeth, tongue and gums. And we’ll explain how what you’re eating and drinking impacts (either positively or negatively) on your oral health. We love patients who are keen to learn how to look after themselves the best way possible! We even have ways to motivate teens to clean their teeth. We’re all about preventing future problems and explaining how your daily habits will either cause or prevent future problems.
I get anxious about the dentist. Can you help me?
- We sure can! Lots of people get anxious or apprehensive. We understand. And we’re empathetic. That’s why each of our staff does everything possible to help you relax. We can easily prescribe or just give you a simple, low dose tablet, which specifically targets anxiety and induces calm. You stay conscious and in control, but the time will pass more quickly and you’ll feel much more at ease. And if you like, we’ll play soft, relaxing music, chosen by you from our selection (or bring your own music).
I’d like white fillings.
- Good idea. We like them too. We can make your old, ugly metal fillings disappear. The tooth coloured Composite filling material will make your tooth look completely natural again, as if it’s never been filled.
How do I fix my broken or chipped tooth?
- That depends on the condition of your tooth and the reason it’s broken or chipped. We’ll thoroughly assess your tooth and even more importantly, the reason it broke. Then we can explain to you all the possible options to restore the tooth and if there’s anything more you, or we, can do to prevent the same thing happening to any other tooth in the future.
Do you cater to kids?
- We sure do. We see loads of kids. And believe it or not, almost all of them like seeing us. Click here for more info to read our Just for Kids section.
I’ve heard some headaches, migraine or face pain are dental related. Tell me about it.
- That’s true. Headaches, face, neck, and jaw pain can all be caused, or worsened, by grinding and / or clenching your teeth. Clenching and grinding are very common. A Dental Night Guard, worn only while you sleep, can relieve or stop all these problems. It’s a custom-made, precision dental appliance, which causes the jaw and facial muscles to relax. Any residual clenching or grinding forces are absorbed by the Night Guard. This protects your teeth and/or fillings from chipping, cracking, premature wear and from becoming loose. Stress alone doesn’t cause grinding, but it certainly makes your grinding or clenching worse, which also triggers migraine and tension headaches. For more information, Click here for more info.
