Dental implants can range in price depending on the quality of work and the quality of the implant. Cheap dental implants done outside Australia, generally use materials that are inferior and eventually get rejected by the body and fail. At Woodville Rd Medical and Dental, we use state-of-the-art Implants that are precision-driven. We use newer technologies like 3D X-rays and equipment like Dental Oral Scanners to get a result that is more precise, accurate, and longer lasting than your cheaper implants. At our Merrylands clinic, we use newer technologies to make treatment more accesible and cheaper. Our Dental Implants cost $3500, which includes all the pre-scans, 3D x-ray, Treatment planning, Implant, and the crown that goes on top of the implant. There may be variations in these costs due to your specific needs but generally, the cost of Implants at our Merrylands Clinic is $3500.

In-office teeth whitening is the most frequently performed cosmetic dental procedure. Most procedures follow the proceeding steps:

Before whitening the teeth, a dentist will clean the teeth to remove debris and tartar. Teeth are then rubbed with a polishing paste to remove remaining debris.

A cheek retractor, a device that separates the cheeks, is placed to expose the teeth for the duration of the procedure. The patient’s teeth color is then compared to a panel of different shades of white to find the most suitable color as per the client’s request.

A dam is made around the teeth, either using a liquid gel or rubber. This protects the gum and other tissue within the mouth from the peroxide whiteners. A bleaching agent, which contains hydrogen peroxide is applied to the teeth and kept, to act on the stains for around 15 to 30 minutes.

The bleaching gel is then washed or suctioned off and another layer of gel is applied. This is also left to work for about half an hour. After the cycles of bleaching, the patient rinses his/her mouth and the post-procedure shade of teeth is evaluated. If the color is not aesthetically pleasing enough for the patient, a dentist may recommend follow-up visits to bleach the teeth again.

If you have missing teeth, your dentist might speak to you about getting dentures fitted. Dentures are specially made to fit your mouth. If you’re missing any teeth, or you need to have teeth extracted, your dentist will recommend replacing them. Gaps in a smile can make people feel self-conscious about how they look, but there are more reasons to consider replacing a tooth than just appearance.

Missing teeth can also make it harder to eat certain foods or may affect speech. Healthy teeth that are no longer supported on one or both sides may also lean into the gap over time and go crooked, which can make them harder to brush and floss. If you lose a number of teeth, your face and jaw will lose some support, which could cause muscles in your face to sag.

Tooth decay is damage to a tooth that can happen when harmful bacteria in your mouth make acids that attack the tooth enamel. This can lead to a small hole in a tooth, called a cavity. More severe decay can cause a large hole or even destruction of the entire tooth. If tooth decay is not treated, it can cause pain, infection, and even tooth loss.

When a tooth is exposed to acid frequently which can happen if you eat or drink often, especially foods or drinks containing sugar and starches. The repeated cycles of acid attacks cause the enamel to continue to lose minerals. A white spot may appear where minerals have been lost. This is a sign of early decay.

Tooth decay can be stopped or reversed at this point. Enamel can repair itself by using minerals from saliva and fluoride from toothpaste or other sources. But if the tooth decay process continues, more minerals are lost. Over time, the enamel is weakened and destroyed, forming a cavity.
