Dental fillings are the replacement of tooth structure lost due to decay or trauma (fracture) of a tooth. Fillings take between 15 and 60 minutes depending on their size and the type of tooth being restored. The material of choice is composite resin, which is bonded to the tooth cavity and matched to the tooth’s original colour; commonly known as White Fillings.

All children from 2 years old should be encouraged to attend a dental visit with their parents/family members to build confidence and trust in the dental environment. Children are encouraged and shown how to brush their teeth in a friendly comfortable setting. We support the Children’s Dental Benefit Scheme. This Government funded program provides children aged 2 – 18 years with $1000. Capped over 2 years consecutive calendar years for basic dental services. The dental services include:- Hygiene Visit, Fissure Sealants, Fillings, X-rays, Wisdom Teeth & General Dental.

Dental implants are a solution to missing teeth. The finished result is natural and long lasting, and feels just like a normal tooth. An implant is a manufactured titanium screw that is surgically positioned in the jaw bone, and a tooth crown is attached to the top of the implant to fill the gap of the missing tooth. This procedure can normally be done under local anesthesia. The advantage of an implant is that they create a more lifelike solution to a missing tooth. Your suitability for implants can be assessed by the dentist at your examination visit.

Tooth Whitening whitens teeth and removes stains and discoloration. If you are interested in a Whiter and Brighter Smile, our experienced team can discuss a wide range of Cosmetic Dental services available. We believe that the best way to give yourself something to smile about, is to give yourself something to smile with!

A crown, sometimes called a cap, is a hood made of porcelain which fully covers a tooth, holding together and protecting what is left of the natural tooth structure, and providing the appearance desired. A bridge is a series of crowns and porcelain tooth replacements used to bridge a gap of one or two teeth. Crown appointments are usually 90 minutes to 2 hours longs.

CAD/CAM dentistry (computer aided design with camera) with 3D software involves taking a digital impression of your tooth or teeth, then designing and milling the ceramic restoration (veneer, filling, or crown) all in one appointment. The benefits are that ceramic (porcelain) is more biocompatible than other materials used in the past, like amalgams or gold fillings. The use of this technology is especially beneficial when ordinary white fillings will not be strong enough to repair very damaged teeth, or when a large amalgam filling needs replacing.

Our Oral hygiene program is designed to keep your mouth and teeth clean to prevent dental problems, most commonly dental cavities, gingivitis, periodontal (gum) disease and bad breath. There are also pathologic conditions in which good oral hygiene is required for healing and regeneration of the oral tissues. The oral hygiene program is tailored to everyone’s individual dental needs and is normally prescribed by the dentist at your initial examination. Here at Commercial Road Dental Surgery, we are proud to have 3 highly trained and experienced Dental Hygienists who strive to provide comprehensive care to make your visit comfortable, pain free and relaxing.

Our dental restoration treatment is designed to rebuild and redesign your teeth, where our dentists can replace missing teeth or repair missing parts of teeth. Dental restoration is usually required due to decay, a fractured tooth or dental cavities. Some of the common treatments that our clinic provides include fillings, crowns, bridges, implants, and dentures. Each of the treatments is tailored to your individual needs and is only suggested once you have had an examination visit. At Commercial Road Dental Surgery, we are proud to have an experienced dental team who provide comprehensive care and make your visit easy.

There are a number of reasons why your tooth/teeth may need to be extracted. These are:
1- Large decay of tooth causing tooth infection
2- Severe gum disease making your tooth very loose and mobile
3- Badly broken down teeth that are un-restorable
4- Crowded teeth may need extraction so the rest of the teeth can be straightened orthodontically
5- Wisdom teeth – these are the last teeth to erupt into the mouth, they sometimes don’t have enough room and become impacted which can cause pain and discomfort.

An infected tooth will normally present a severe toothache which persists for several days and does not go away. Once this is diagnosed by the dentist, root canal therapy maybe recommended. Modern endodontic (root canal therapy) is predictable and comfortable, is similar to having a routine filling done, and can usually be completed in 2-3 appointments. Saving the natural tooth with root canal therapy has many advantages:

1- Makes chewing more efficient
2- Maintains natural appearance
3- Protects other teeth from excessive ware and strain.
