FAQs
We understand that you may have questions or concerns about your dental care. To help provide you with the information you need, we’ve compiled a list of frequently asked questions and their answers. If you don’t find your specific question addressed here or need further clarification, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
How often should I visit the dentist?
How often you should visit depends on your individual needs. Many people are seen every six months for a check-up and clean, but your dentist will recommend a schedule based on your oral health.
What happens during a routine check-up?
Your dentist examines your teeth, gums and soft tissues, and may take X-rays when needed. This is usually followed by a professional scale and clean. We’ll explain anything we find in plain language.
What is a cavity and how is it treated?
A cavity is a small area of tooth decay. It’s usually treated by removing the decayed part and placing a filling – often a tooth-coloured composite that blends with your tooth.
How can I prevent tooth decay and gum disease?
Brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, floss daily, limit sugary foods and drinks, and keep up with regular check-ups so problems can be caught early.
Is a root canal painful?
Root canal treatment is done with thorough numbing and is usually comfortable – like having a filling. It often relieves the pain caused by an infected or inflamed tooth.
I’m anxious about the dentist. Can you help?
Yes. Dental anxiety is common. Let us know how you’re feeling and we’ll explain each step, go at your pace, and make sure you’re comfortable throughout your visit.
What should I do in a dental emergency?
Contact us as soon as you can on 03 5925 7733. For a knocked-out tooth, severe toothache or swelling, prompt care gives the best outcome. We’ll advise you on what to do next.
Do you treat children?
Yes. We provide children’s dentistry, including check-ups, fillings, stainless steel crowns and pulpotomy, in a gentle, child-friendly way.
Can teeth be straightened without braces?
In some cases, clear aligners can be an option. Suitability varies from person to person – book an assessment and we’ll advise whether it may be right for you.
Does whitening work on fillings and crowns?
Whitening lightens natural teeth but does not change the colour of fillings, crowns or veneers. We’ll assess your teeth first and give you a realistic picture of what to expect.
