General Dentistry

Your child should visit the dentist from as young as 1 to 2 years old. We make it fun and interactive. They may even be eligible for treatment under the Medicare Child Dental Benefits Scheme (CDBS).

For over 50 years, fluoride has proven to be safe and effective in protecting your teeth from tooth decay. In much of Australia, it is safe to drink tap water instead of bottled water and brush twice a day with fluoridated toothpaste. Be sure to use a children’s toothpaste for your kiddies aged 18 months to 6 years old.

Dental x-rays are safe and have one of the lowest levels of radiation when compared to all other x-rays or even a short domestic flight! Both children and adults can have x-rays taken of inside and outside their mouths. Dental x-rays give us a more thorough diagnosis and we love explaining them to you while viewing them on a large screen.

  • You eat food or drink lots of coloured drinks like red wine, tea or fresh juices
  • You are having orthodontic treatment
  • You have gum disease (periodontal disease)
  • You have dental crowns or implants

Cosmetic Dentistry

Dentures are removable appliances that are designed to replace missing teeth or keep gaps for future implants or fixed ceramic bridges. Denture success depends on your anatomy, how much bone you have to support the dentures and how strong your teeth are around the area that is missing teeth. Dentures can feel like new shoes and can take several weeks to get used to.

Do you snore or wake up tired? SomnoMed® is a brand of a device custom made for you to help with mild to moderate sleep apnoea. You’ll need your general practitioner to send you for a sleep study to determine the severity of your sleep apnoea before we can have your SomnoMed® appliance made. A 3D scan will be taken of your mouth and your custom device will made just for you.
