General Procedures

Routine Dental Check-ups

Routine dental check-ups are the cornerstone of preventive dentistry. These regular visits to your dentist at Crown Dental allow for the early detection of potential dental issues, such as cavities, gum disease, or oral cancer. During these appointments, we examine your teeth, gums, and surrounding oral tissues, looking for any signs of abnormalities or emerging problems.

Professional Dental Cleanings

Professional dental cleanings are essential for removing plaque and tartar build up that regular brushing and flossing may miss. Dental hygienists use specialised tools to clean and polish the teeth, helping to prevent cavities and gum disease. Regular cleanings also contribute to maintaining fresh breath and a bright smile.

Diagnostic Procedures

X-Rays

Dental X-rays are valuable diagnostic tools that allow dentists to see beyond what is visible to the naked eye. They help identify issues such as cavities between teeth, impacted wisdom teeth, or bone loss. Modern digital X-rays minimise radiation exposure, making them a safe and effective tool in dental diagnostics.

Intraoral Cameras

Intraoral cameras provide a close-up view of the inside of the mouth. This technology enables dentists to visualise and capture images of specific areas, helping them explain findings to patients and formulate effective treatment plans.

Digital Imaging

Digital imaging involves the use of advanced technology to create detailed images of the teeth and surrounding structures. This aids in diagnosis and treatment planning for conditions like temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders or orthodontic concerns.

Preventative Dental Procedures

Dental Sealants

Dental sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of molars and premolars. These sealants act as a barrier, preventing bacteria and plaque from settling into the grooves and pits of the teeth. Sealants are particularly beneficial for children and adolescents, offering added protection during their cavity-prone years.

Oral Health Education

Effective oral health education empowers patients to take control of their dental well-being. At Crown Dental, we see the importance in providing guidance on proper oral hygiene practices, including brushing and flossing techniques. Counselling may also cover topics such as nutrition and lifestyle choices that impact oral health. A well-informed patient is better equipped to make choices that contribute to long-term dental health.

All of the above may be covered by Medicare if you are an eligible CDBS (Child Dental Benefit Scheme) candidate.

Oral Health Education and Counselling

We Believe In Education

At Crown Dental, we believe that effective oral health education is crucial for empowering patients to manage their own dental well-being.

By staying well-informed, our patients are better prepared to make decisions that support their long-term dental health.

General and preventive dentistry prioritise proactive measures to maintain oral health and prevent dental issues. Regular dental check-ups, professional cleanings, diagnostic procedures, dental sealants, and patient education collectively contribute to a comprehensive approach to dental care.
