General Dentistry
Most adults and children should visit every six months for a check-up and clean. However, if you have gum disease, diabetes, or other health conditions, your dentist may recommend more frequent visits.
Please bring your ID, Medicare card, private health fund card, and a list of any medications or medical conditions.
Yes. Dental X-rays use very low radiation levels and are safe for both adults and children. They help us detect problems early before they become painful or costly to fix.
Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, floss once a day, and limit sugary snacks or drinks. A soft-bristled toothbrush and good technique make all the difference.
Restorative Dentistry
A filling restores a tooth that’s been damaged by decay. We use tooth-coloured materials for a natural, long-lasting result.
If you’re experiencing tooth pain, sensitivity to heat or cold, or swelling around a tooth, you may need root canal treatment. Our dentists will confirm this with an X-ray.
Implants are titanium posts that replace missing tooth roots. They’re topped with a crown that looks and feels like a real tooth – a strong, permanent solution for missing teeth.
Modern dentures are more natural-looking and comfortable than ever. We design them to fit precisely so you can eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
