Good Dental Health Can Improve Your Overall Health

Contrary to what many might think, the general dental treatment we offer here impacts more than your oral health.

For instance, regular checkups can help us detect different forms of mouth cancer early on, resulting in early referral and intervention by an appropriate medical practitioner. In some situations, the health of your gums and teeth can go a long way in reducing the risk of experiencing heart complications, diabetes, and dementia.

The straight and healthy teeth that our dental services help you achieve and maintain will also improve your digestion. This will, in turn, ensure that your body receives the nutrition it needs to function optimally.

Checkup and Clean

During a check-up at our clinic, we assess the overall health of your mouth to determine if any additional dental work is required, helping in the early detection of potential issues. The cleaning process includes thorough scaling and polishing to remove stains, built-up plaque, and tartar which are common causes of tooth decay and gum disease. X-rays are standard practice to assess dental health over time. These allow us to see in between the teeth and under the gums. Additionally, fluoride treatment is applied to strengthen tooth enamel and provide a protective barrier against tooth decay, aiding in cavity prevention and maintaining healthy teeth.

Children’s Dentistry

Our paediatric dentists focus on children’s oral health from infancy through the teenage years. We are trained to address the unique dental needs of children and manage their oral health care through the various stages of childhood. Our dentists are adept at preventing and treating disorders specific to children’s teeth and gums.

Wisdom Tooth Removal

Wisdom tooth extraction is a surgical procedure required when one or more of the four permanent adult teeth at the back corners of your mouth do not have enough space to grow. These third molars, or wisdom teeth, can become impacted, leading to pain, infection, and other dental issues. If you experience such problems, we can assist.

Oral Hygiene Education

Educating patients about proper oral hygiene is a fundamental aspect of dental care. Our dentists guide effective brushing, flossing, and mouthwash use to enhance oral hygiene. Additionally, we offer personalised recommendations for oral care products and techniques tailored to meet each patient’s specific needs, ensuring optimal dental health.

Emergency Appointments

In dental emergencies, timely treatment is crucial. At Bondi Family Dentist, we provide prompt care for all dental emergencies. Our clinic is renowned for its rapid response and exceptional patient care. Equipped with the latest dental technology, our emergency dentists are prepared to swiftly diagnose and resolve urgent dental issues, alleviating pain and preventing further complications.

Fillings

Dental fillings are used to restore teeth damaged by decay or trauma. They involve removing decayed material, cleaning the cavity, and filling it with materials such as tooth-coloured composite resin. The choice of filling material depends on the repair’s needs, location in the mouth, potential allergies, and cost.

Dental Crowns

If your tooth has broken down due to accident or decay, we can fit you with a dental crown that will restore your tooth’s natural shape and function. This will effectively act as a helmet for your tooth. Our dental crowns promise to offer your teeth the long-lasting protection they need.

Dental Bridges

Dental bridges are fixed prosthetics used to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring crowns to the adjacent teeth or implants. They restore the natural smile and improve the strength of surrounding teeth. Bridges are custom-made to match your teeth’s natural colour and fit, supporting proper jaw alignment and facial structure integrity.

Tooth Extractions

Tooth extraction is performed on teeth that are damaged beyond repair, impacted, or causing overcrowding. The process involves removing the tooth from its socket, often preceded by X-rays and local anaesthesia to ensure comfort. Surgical extractions may be necessary for complex cases, with post-operative care crucial for healing.

Dentures

Dentures are removable appliances that replace missing teeth and their surrounding tissues, improving the ability to chew and speak clearly. Available as complete or partial dentures.

Root Canal Therapy

Root canal therapy treats infected root canals to eliminate bacteria, save the natural tooth, and prevent reinfection. The procedure involves removing inflamed pulp, disinfecting the tooth interior, and sealing it, followed by restoration with a crown or filling. Typically, root canal therapy is performed with minimal discomfort over several visits.

Mouth Guards

Mouth guards, nightguards or occlusal splints are protective devices that cover the teeth and gums to prevent injuries and are crucial for individuals with bruxism or TMD. Custom-fitted based on dental recommendations, these guards are made in professional labs and help protect against night grinding and sports-related impacts.
