Tooth Extraction

If you've been experiencing pain, sensitivity or swelling, or have suffered dental trauma, it’s essential to consult with a dentist as soon as possible. Our team of general dentists and specialists will assess your situation, carry out a comprehensive examination, often including x-rays and other tests, to diagnose the cause of the problem. We will discuss the nature of the issue and the treatment options and will agree on the best treatment for you. With appropriate treatment, many painful teeth can be retained, though sometimes extraction is the most appropriate option. Our Chermside family dentist is experienced at carrying out comfortable dental extractions but also work closely with Oral/Maxillofacial Surgeons if your case is more complex.

Dental Check-Ups

Healthy teeth and gums are an important part of your general health and wellbeing. Common conditions such as tooth decay, wear and gum disease can be prevented or treated if identified early with general dentistry. Dental check-ups allow you to keep on top of any developing issues, ensuring optimal oral health.

Tooth Fillings

If your teeth have cavities, a filling is often the first line of treatment in general dentistry. This involves removal of decay and refilling the tooth with a tooth-coloured resin that’s unnoticeable to the eye.

General Dentistry - Frequently Asked Questions

General dentistry refers to dental care that is used to prevent, diagnose, and treat common dental problems. This includes regular check-ups, teeth cleaning, fillings and diagnosing and treating gum disease. 

We recommend seeing a dentist every six months or at least once a year. This is to ensure your oral health is maintained and that small problems don’t turn into larger ones – which can end up being painful and costly in the long run. Catching problems early allows us to create a dental treatment plan, that can quickly solve problems before they become severe. Contact our Chermside Family Dentist today for a check-up.

Dental issues can be presented in many different ways, but the most common symptoms are pain, discomfort, cracked teeth, bleeding from gums, or bad breath. If you experience any of these symptoms, we recommend getting in touch with a dentist as soon as possible.

Metal fillings were popular for quite many years and do still have a place in some circumstances. While they are durable, many people find silver amalgam fillings unsightly – and they can leave weakened teeth unsupported.  If you’re unhappy with how your metal fillings look, our Chermside family dental team can replace them with a composite resin that closely matches the colour of your teeth. 

At Restore Dental, we aim to offer general dentistry treatment that’s as painless as possible, using gentle techniques and a soothing atmosphere. We take the time to explain the procedure and communicate with patients every step of the way. If you suffer from anxiety or are apprehensive about the procedure, we will discuss options for managing your concerns. Dr Davies has a particular interest in helping anxious patients through dental treatment.

Sometimes referred to as a preventative care appointment, a general check-up allows us to screen for any potential issues arising. At this appointment we do a thorough oral pathology screening to check the health of your soft tissues and gums, as well as the general health of your teeth. If any concerns are raised at this appointment, it may be recommended to have further x-rays, or treatment. A general check-up is routinely performed alongside a professional clean where your dentist will remove calculus, plaque, and staining.

X-Rays play a pivotal part in diagnosing dental decay, bone structure, fractures & infection. They help us to see parts of the mouth that are not visible by eye alone. X-rays may be recommended for future treatment planning purposes or if a concern arises in your general check-up.

 
We recommend brushing your teeth for 2 minutes twice a day, usually morning and night and flossing once per day. Most dental decay is preventable; studies show that one of the largest interventions regardless of diet is brushing for a minimum of 2 minutes twice per day. Brushing removes food and bacteria from the surfaces of your teeth and mouth (don’t forget to brush your tongue as well) and flossing helps to remove the bacteria from in between the surfaces of the teeth. Bacteria eats the sugars in the food and drink we consume and releases an acid that can dissolve enamel in turn creating cavities and decay.
 

Yes! There are many reasons an electric toothbrush is better than manual brushing:

  • Most models have a two-minute timer, so you know how long you are brushing
  • They are easier to use for young children or people with limited mobility
  • A smaller head to reach difficult areas
  • No need to scrub – they use an oscillating action which is gentler on teeth and gums and can help to protect from “over brushing” which can lead to tooth wear at the gum line.
  • They are more effective at removing food and bacteria.

We recommend the use of an electric toothbrush to all our patients. 

Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral which has been proven to strengthen tooth enamel, prevent cavities and make teeth more resistant to acidic erosion. It is added to the local water supply in most areas and is added to most toothpastes, some mouthwashes and topical gels. We routinely apply a protective fluoride varnish at your general check-up and clean appointment.
