A Guide to General Dentistry Services
For happy, healthy smiles, Norlane Dental Aesthetics and Implants is your go-to destination in Geelong. Regular dental examinations are crucial for maintaining optimal oral health. Not only do these visits keep your teeth clean and bright, but they also play a significant role in preventing dental diseases and detecting early signs of other health issues. Let’s delve into the diverse array of general dentistry services offered at Norlane Dental Aesthetics and Implants, designed to ensure your smile remains vibrant and healthy.
Wisdom Teeth Extractions
Wisdom teeth, or third molars, often pose challenges as they try to emerge. If these teeth lack sufficient room to grow, they can lead to pain, infection, and other dental problems. At Norlane Dental Aesthetics and Implants, our skilled dentists and oral surgeons perform wisdom teeth extractions to prevent and alleviate these issues. Even if your wisdom teeth are not currently causing problems, our experts might recommend extraction to avert potential future complications.
Children’s Dentistry
Children require specialized dental care, tailored to their unique needs and developmental stages. Our pediatric dentists are adept at handling young patients, employing various approaches to ensure each child receives the necessary treatment in a comforting environment. We consider factors such as health history, special health care needs, and the specific dental treatment required. Our goal is to provide comprehensive care that promotes long-term oral health for your child.
Root Canal Therapy
Root canal therapy is a highly effective treatment for saving teeth that have become inflamed or infected. During this procedure, an endodontist carefully removes the infected pulp from inside the tooth, cleans and shapes the root canals, and fills the space to prevent further infection. This straightforward procedure can relieve significant dental pain and preserve your natural tooth, preventing the need for extraction.
Emergency Dentistry
Dental emergencies can strike without warning, causing severe pain and discomfort. Whether it’s a sudden dental infection, visible swelling, or a traumatic injury, our emergency dentistry services are designed to provide prompt and professional care. If you experience a dental emergency, don’t hesitate to contact our clinic immediately. Our team is prepared to offer the urgent assistance you need to alleviate pain and address the problem effectively.
Tooth Fillings
Cavities and tooth damage require timely intervention to prevent further decay and restore tooth function. Our dentists expertly remove decayed portions of the tooth and fill the space with durable materials, such as composite resins or amalgam. Tooth fillings are also used to repair cracked or broken teeth, as well as teeth damaged by habits like nail-biting or grinding.
Tooth Extractions
While permanent teeth are intended to last a lifetime, there are situations where extraction becomes necessary. Severe damage from trauma or decay, orthodontic treatment needs, or overcrowding are common reasons for tooth extraction. Our experienced dentists ensure that this procedure is performed with the utmost care and precision, minimising discomfort and promoting swift recovery.
Crowns & Bridges
Dental crowns and bridges are essential restorations for teeth that have suffered significant decay or structural loss. Crowns cover and protect damaged teeth, restoring their strength and appearance. Bridges, on the other hand, replace missing teeth by “bridging” the gap with artificial teeth anchored to adjacent natural teeth. Both treatments enhance functionality and aesthetics, ensuring your smile remains complete and healthy.
Dentures
Dentures are a versatile solution for replacing missing teeth, whether you need a full set or partial dentures. These removable appliances not only improve your appearance but also enhance your ability to eat and speak effectively. At Norlane Dental Aesthetics and Implants, we provide custom-fitted dentures that look natural and feel comfortable, helping you regain confidence in your smile.
Gum Treatments
Healthy gums are the foundation of a healthy smile. Our clinic offers a range of gum treatments to address conditions such as gingivitis and periodontitis. Depending on the severity of the disease and your overall health, treatments may include nonsurgical procedures like scaling and root planing, or surgical interventions to restore supportive tissues.
Periodontal Care
Plaque and tartar buildup can lead to serious gum diseases, compromising the gums and bone that support your teeth. Our periodontal care services focus on preventing and treating these conditions through thorough cleanings and targeted treatments. Early intervention can prevent the progression of gum disease, safeguarding your oral health and preserving your natural teeth.
