Frequently Asked Questions
1. How often should I have a check-up, scale, and clean?
Most people benefit from dental check-ups and scaling, which are performed every six months. This helps remove plaque and tartar build-up, reduces the risk of gum disease, and catches problems early. Some patients with a history of gum issues may need more frequent visits—we’ll advise you on the best course of action.
2. Is professional teeth whitening safe?
Yes, when supervised by a dentist, teeth whitening is considered safe and effective. We offer in-chair and take-home whitening options in Collingwood and for patients from nearby suburbs, including Richmond, Abbotsford, Fitzroy, and Northcote. We’ll check your teeth and gums first to ensure whitening is appropriate for you.
3. What’s the difference between a filling and a crown?
A dental filling repairs smaller areas of decay, while a dental crown is used when a tooth is badly broken, heavily filled, or has had root canal treatment. Crowns cover and protect the entire visible portion of the tooth, helping it function for many more years.
4. Do I really need a root canal?
A root canal treatment is recommended when the nerve inside the tooth is infected or badly inflamed. It allows you to save the tooth rather than remove it. We’ll explain your X-rays and all options so you can make an informed decision.
5. What is an occlusal splint?
An occlusal splint is a custom-made acrylic guard that fits over your teeth to protect them from grinding and reduce strain on your jaw joints. Patients searching for “occlusal splint dental Melbourne” or “TMJ splint Melbourne” are often experiencing jaw pain or morning headaches—if that sounds like you, book an assessment.
6. Do you see children and families?
Yes, we’re a family-friendly dental clinic and regularly see children from Collingwood, Abbotsford, Fitzroy, Northcote, Clifton Hill, and surrounding suburbs. We provide gentle, patient care and help children build healthy habits for life.
