General Dentistry
Because we serve a vast community surrounding Charters Towers, including Grand Secret, Millchester, Towers Hill and other outlying areas, our team finds offering a wide range of dental services vital. We want you and each family member to receive essential dentistry when needed at one dental clinic location.
General and Family Dentistry
General dentistry, sometimes called family dentistry, is an umbrella for numerous preventive, restorative, and tooth-replacement dental services designed to enhance oral health. Each of our general dental procedures is high-calibre, with the level of care and attention that we'd want for our own families.
Preventive Dentistry Builds a Foundation for Healthy Smiles
Whether we are treating children, teens, adults or senior patients, preventive dentistry is an essential part of our dental practice. Our dentists endeavour to keep smiles healthy in a few steps:
- Routine check-ups and exams help us identify potential problems and monitor their progress
- Regular cleans by our dental professionals remove plaque and tartar to prevent tooth decay
- Education on effective at-home care maintains oral health until your next check-up
We sort many treatments under general dentistry, some of which focus on eliminating decay and damage to teeth and gums. And others on protecting your teeth from bacteria and trauma. Here is a list of our specific treatments and services:
- Dental exams and cleans
- Diagnostic x-rays
- Mouthguards and nightguards
- Fluoride treatments and sealants
- Periodontal gum treatments
- Paediatric dentistry
We adjust our preventive care recommendations to meet your needs at every life stage. We encourage every patient to participate in our active maintenance programme and enjoy the quality of life that comes from a healthy smile – confidence, delicious foods and the freedom to express yourself without worrying about your teeth.
Emergency Dentistry
When dental emergencies arise, we are here for you. We are expert providers of palliative dentistry, striving to stabilise a dental problem and address symptoms like pain and inflammation. Our team can then focus on your needed treatments. For example, an active inner tooth infection may require emergency root canal therapy but may also save your tooth. We also can provide urgent tooth extraction where the damage is too significant to preserve your tooth.
If you are suffering a toothache or other oral pain, we recommend that you contact your Charter Towers emergency dentist to resolve the issue before it worsens.
Tooth-Coloured Dentistry for a Seamless Smile
When tooth decay, damage or disease affects your smile, we strive to provide restorative dentistry that minimises the impact on the natural appearance of your teeth. In addition, we aim to select the appropriate restorations that each serve a unique purpose and can extend your teeth's lifespan by years – or even decades.
Here are a few dental care procedures meant to address tooth damage and repair, seal and strengthen your teeth.
- Tooth-coloured fillings
- Crowns
- Inlays and onlays
- Dental bonding
- Dental veneers
We will discuss which will work best during check-up appointments and help you make a choice that works for the family budget and your lifestyle.
Replacing Lost Teeth Makes Chewing and Speaking Easier
If you've lost one or more teeth, you'll know first-hand how missing teeth interrupt daily activities others may take for granted – like eating a favourite dish or speaking naturally. At our Charters Towers dental clinic, we provide several ways to replace missing teeth that meet the various needs of the members of our community.
- Dental implants
- Dental bridges
- Partial Dentures
- Complete (full) dentures
- Implant dentures
Our team starts with a dental evaluation alongside a discussion of patient goals to find the best option for replacing teeth that can return your smile to its natural state.
Dental implants are considered the gold standard of tooth replacement if you are looking for the most realistic way to address missing teeth. Dental implants mimic teeth both in function and appearance by replacing the entire teeth – even the root.
