The best dental treatment is minimal to no treatment at all. That’s why regular check-up appointments at John Street Dental are so important.
A regular dental check-up and professional clean is the only way to keep your teeth and gums in optimal condition and help prevent the development of gum disease and tooth decay, which could lead to extensive and costly restorative treatments in the future. Find out more about periodontal disease.
Should you have any problems with your teeth then a comprehensive check-up will allow our clinical team to make an accurate diagnosis of any issues. We can then develop a tailored treatment plan with you.
We don’t believe in rushing our patients through their appointment. We always leave ourselves plenty of time to dedicate to each person. A typical dental check-up examination can include:
A dental check-up is also an opportunity for you to get to ask questions and seek advice about your oral health or treatments such as teeth whitening or replacing silver fillings with white. You can also discuss any issues such as sensitivity or plaque and tartar build-up, which are common dental problems that can generally be tackled without extensive treatment.
The John Street Dental clinical team is here to help in any way we can.
A composite filling is made of a resin material similar in consistency as toothpaste and is applied to the tooth surface in thin layers. It is hardened by a UV light, then shaped and polished, restoring your tooth’s form and function.
Composite fillings are less expensive and can be completed in a single appointment, occasionally without the need for anaesthetic.
Our dentist matches the colour of composites to neighbouring teeth for a more natural appearance, making the filling indistinguishable
Composite resin fillings often are made smaller than amalgam fillings and require less tooth preparation, thereby saving more natural tooth structure.
Composite fillings are used to restore strength and appearance. They are also less sensitive to hot and cold temperature changes in the mouth; therefore there is less chance that the tooth will fracture because of the filling.
Maintaining a thorough at-home oral health routine and scheduling check-up appointments with the John Street Dental team every six months will ensure your new white porcelain or composite fillings last for many years to come.
