How long do I need to wait if I have a dental emergency?
Our team responds to emergency calls as quickly as possible, and we offer a same-day emergency appointment. See our Dental Emergencies page.
Does it hurt to remove a wisdom tooth?
Your dentist uses local anaesthesia to numb the gums before extracting the tooth, so there is no pain during the procedure itself.
How long will my tooth last after root canal therapy?
Root canals that are carried out precisely and properly can last a lifetime, with an appropriate filling or crown placed afterwards where needed.
Will there be any food limitations after my implant surgery?
For a quick recovery, your dentist will recommend maintaining a soft diet for the first few days. A high protein and calorie intake supports faster healing.
Do metal tooth fillings last longer than white fillings?
Modern white (composite) fillings have become stronger and more durable than ever. Filling longevity depends mostly on how well you maintain your teeth afterwards.
At what age should I start taking my child to the dentist?
According to the Australian Dental Association, your child should attend their first oral health check-up at 12 months of age.
What information should I provide my dentist about my medical history?
Please share your medical conditions and allergies, as well as the medications you are currently taking.
How can I avoid tooth sensitivity?
The first step is caring for your gums and teeth. Sensitivity often occurs when the gums start to recede.
