Tooth decay and cavities are one of Australia’s most widespread and costly health diseases. Cavities are caused by bacteria that exist in the mouth accumulating on the tooth, which then convert sugar into acid and eat holes in the teeth.
Our team uses the very latest advances in modern dental technology.
Laser technology has recently transformed the way patients receive some dental treatments. We use a dental laser to ensure your visit to our practice is comfortable and pleasant. You can forget the use of needles, scalpels and drills, as laser dentistry allows us to provide you with more comfortable and relaxing dental treatments. With the use of our dental laser, the accuracy of our treatment is precise and reduces the overall healing time, while alleviating infection.
We only use the latest in white filling technology, meaning that we don’t use old silver-mercury amalgam fillings. This ensures that all of our fillings are nearly invisible and metal free, which with proper care and maintenance can last a lifetime.
Some patients who come and see us for the first time may be unaware that they suffer from dental decay, as cavities are often pain-free until they get so bad they can require a root canal treatment. This is because the nerve in the tooth (the thing that causes the pain!) is in the very centre of the tooth, and decay has to eat through several layers of tooth before it gets to the nerve. If the decay is treated before it reaches the nerve, a simple filling is often enough to resolve the problem. However if the decay gets to the nerve, it becomes painful, and can require a root canal therapy, a dental crown, or an extraction.
This means that we want to see our patients every 6 months, to ensure that if any problem start to occur, we can fix them and prevent any further damage happening before it causes problems. Prevention is better than a cure!
