More about our General Dentistry services
Tooth-Coloured Fillings
If we notice a cavity that has developed between check-ups, we will use tooth-coloured fillings at our Melbourne CBD dental clinic to close the hole. Having a filling prevents further damage to your tooth.
In addition, because the composite resin filling material is the same colour as your tooth, it won’t be visible to other people, unlike the old-fashioned amalgam fillings.
Tooth Extractions
We try to avoid extracting a tooth, but sometimes we need to, such as if your tooth is decayed or significantly damaged.
We have considerable experience in extracting (removing) teeth, so you’ll receive detailed information at each stage of the process, including after care.
You won’t feel any pain either, as we’ll apply a local anaesthetic before the extraction.
Wisdom Teeth Removal
Wisdom teeth can appear from the age of 17; they are called ‘wisdom teeth’ as we are meant to be wise and learned by this age!
However, wisdom teeth can sometimes cause trouble for patients who may not have enough room for them to erupt safely.
Therefore, patients may need one, some or all wisdom teeth removed. We will assess the situation and refer you to a trusted oral surgeon if required.
Root Canals
Sometimes known as endodontics, you may need root canal treatment to preserve the interior of your tooth.
The treatment removes the infected part of your tooth’s interior. The local anaesthetic applied to the relevant part of the gum tissue means this procedure should not feel uncomfortable or painful.
Our patient-centred approach guides us to inform you at every stage of the root-canal procedure and provide you with with after-care instructions.
Periodontal Gum Care
In combination with regular, six-monthly dental check-ups, maintaining a solid at-home oral health care routine helps to prevent gum diseases such as gingivitis or the more severe periodontitis.
However, If you notice pain when chewing, or bleeding gums, visit our Melbourne CBD dental clinic quickly. We will thoroughly clean and scale your teeth, and monitor your situation with more frequent visits.
Bad Breath (Halitosis)
Sometimes bad breath can indicate gum disease or an infected tooth, so you will need to see us to treat and monitor your gums and teeth.
Other times, the embarrassment of having poor breath may be enough for you to come and visit us to stop the bad breath smells. Having a detailed scale, clean and polish at our Melbourne dental clinic helps to reduce or eliminate halitosis.
