CHECKUPS AND CLEANINGS

Maintaining healthy teeth and gums is key to preventing serious dental issues from developing. At our practice, we offer comprehensive oral exams and thorough dental cleanings that are designed to detect any potential issues early on and keep your mouth in optimal health. Our team takes great care to identify any potential concerns and provide you with the necessary treatments and preventative care to ensure your oral health is top-notch. We strongly recommend that patients schedule at least two oral exams and two professional teeth cleanings each year to maintain their healthy smiles.

Oral Cancer Screening

Oral cancer is a serious health risk that can be life-threatening, making early detection and treatment essential. Studies have shown that individuals who receive early treatment for oral cancer have a much higher chance of survival, with an 80 to 90 per cent success rate. At Braeside Dental Centre, our team of expert doctors offer quick and painless oral cancer screenings right here at our practice, enabling us to detect any abnormalities and provide prompt treatment if needed. Our dentists will perform an oral cancer screening as part of the standard general check-up exam since indications of oral cancer frequently do not manifest until advanced stages. Don’t take any chances with your health – schedule your oral cancer screening today.

Wisdom Tooth Extractions

In certain situations, a tooth extraction procedure may be the only option when a tooth has suffered extensive damage or decay that cannot be remedied. Additionally, our dental experts may recommend a tooth extraction if the tooth is causing overcrowding, which can result in misalignment and other oral health issues. Although tooth extraction is generally seen as a last resort, our skilled dentists offer advanced procedures that can effectively remove the tooth in an atraumatic and virtually painless manner. Our goal is to ensure that your experience is as comfortable and stress-free as possible, so you can leave our practice feeling confident and healthy.

Root Canal Therapy

The excruciating pain and potential health hazards caused by severely decayed teeth are nothing to be taken lightly. Ignoring the issue can lead to detrimental consequences such as heart attacks, strokes, and other ailments. Luckily, root canal therapy offers a solution to save the tooth from extraction and alleviate the agony. This process involves cleansing any abscesses or infections present in the area, removing the tooth’s pulp, and sterilizing the nerves beneath to eliminate any remaining bacteria. Finally, a robust filling material is utilized to seal the nerve chamber, and a custom-made porcelain crown is affixed to increase the tooth’s stability and bolster its support.

Periodontal Treatment

By utilizing state-of-the-art techniques and technologies, advanced periodontal care can deliver exceptional outcomes for gum disease treatment while also enhancing the appearance of a “gummy smile.” At our clinic, we offer a range of treatment options that can effectively halt the progression of gum disease, improve the condition of your gums, and elevate the aesthetic appeal of your smile with minimal or no downtime required. Our team of skilled dentists and hygienists will work closely with you to determine the best course of action based on your unique needs and goals. Trust us to provide you with top-notch periodontal care that yields outstanding results.
