Wisdom teeth are the last set of molars that appear at the end corners of your mouth. They are four in total, two above and two below. They grow between the ages of 18 and 24, which is why they are referred to as wisdom teeth because they are produced by wise young adults. Medically, they are known as third molars.
Usually, most people don’t have enough room to fit wisdom teeth which is actually the main reason that they seek this procedure for some relief. Impacted wisdom teeth can be a source of many issues such as pain, tooth decay because of trapped food, cyst development, bacterial growth, and damage of the surrounding teeth and jawbone.
Our dentist in Heatherton is well trained and experienced in the procedure of wisdom teeth removal. They are supported by a team of supporting staff that ensures that you feel comfortable and safe in our hands.
Are you seeking a permanent solution for a lost tooth? Dental implants are the best option for teeth replacement.
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that are fitted with a dental crown or bridge to replace missing teeth. These surgical fixtures mimic a normal tooth’s roots. Dental implants can be used to replace a single tooth or many missing teeth. The good thing about dental implants is that they are safe and do not interfere with neighboring teeth during installation.
The benefits of dental implants are the restoration of teeth functionality, particularly biting, speaking, and chewing. However, the team at Springvale dental clinic does more than that; we restore your smile and confidence.
Dentures are normally used to address the problem of missing teeth and provide the patient with a functional smile. For people who are missing all their teeth, full dentures are the best solution. Partial dentures, on the other hand, are used when you are missing some of the teeth. Usually, dentures are removable but have become more enhanced with technological advancements as regards functionality and aesthetics.
Springvale dental clinic uses the latest technology and materials from reputable Melbourne labs when customizing dentures to ensure you get the best quality. Dentures could last years if well taken care of, which is why our practice offers both education and prevention tactics to help you take charge of your oral health. Besides, they look entirely natural and enhance your bites and appearance.
If you have discolored teeth, this is the moment to take advantage of Springvale’s tooth whitening offers. The clinic uses whitening materials from Pola, an Australian-based company.
Teeth whitening is a relatively low-cost and minimally invasive procedure, which is why it is among the most popular cosmetic dentistry treatments. The demand for teeth whitening has grown since early 2000 because of the cosmetically conscious generations that are more concerned about their physical appearance.
Root canal treatment is used to save and repair a tooth that is decayed or infected. This treatment is recommended if the roots of your teeth have been affected by dental cavities. The procedure requires removing the nerve and pulp and cleaning the tooth before sealing the tooth with a synthetic filling material.
Root canal at Springvale is performed by qualified dentists with tons of experience, which increases this procedure’s chances of success. The dentists eliminate pain by using anaesthetics, then open the cavity to reach the damaged pulp tissue. An x-ray is conducted using a small wire to measure root lengths. Afterward, the chamber is cleaned before filing with mechanical driven files for increased comfort. A cement-like material is used to fill the section. It is then sealed with a rubber material that hardens to prevent bacteria from entering.
Tooth decay is the leading cause of teeth cavity. To treat cavities, the dentist removes the decayed part and uses fillings to repair the tooth. Filling materials include gold, amalgam, porcelain, and composite.
Dentists remove tartar and calculus, not removable by flossing or brushing. Staying for prolonged periods without cleaning by a dentist increases the risk of contracting infections. These infections could lead to less bone support around your teeth.
Although the process involves tickling vibrations and pressure, most people find the procedure relatively comfortable.
Veneers are extremely thin shells of a composite resin material or porcelain bonded to teeth to enhance appearance. The procedure is suitable for anyone desiring to recover or get a new perfect smile. It enables dentists to change the shape, color, and size of teeth.
