Lydiard Dental Services Ballarat
Hygiene & Prevention
The best prevention alongside your home care is attending regular dental check-ups and clean appointments. Your regular visit will include screening for oral cancer, gum disease and any areas that require attention. These visits allow early detection, which is SO important!
White Fillings
With major advancements in technology, tooth coloured composite restorations - white fillings - offer aesthetics and supports the remaining tooth structure. These are ideal for small to medium restorations as they are strong, durable and virtually unnoticeable. Lets restore those precious teeth!
Implants
A dental implant is a titanium post which acts as a foundation for a crown, bridgework or dentures. Implants are the modern choice for tooth replacement. With dental implants, you can laugh, bite, and chew just as you would with your natural teeth. Do you have gaps or want an alternative to a denture or bridge?
Whitening
Teeth whitening is the most effective way to give your smile a new lease of life. Our 90 minute in-chair system is speedy, safe and highly effective. Alternatively, our most popular teeth whitening method is our take home system. In just two weeks you can achieve a result comparable to that of the in-chair system. Are you wanting to feel a little brighter?
Veneers
Porcelain veneers are carefully crafted to bond over the surfaces of your teeth making your smile appear straighter and whiter. They mimic the natural appearance of enamel in texture, colour and shine allowing you to achieve spectacular results while still maintaining a natural looking smile. Are you interested in improving your smile without braces?
Cosmetic Dentistry
Improving your smile can be simple and affordable. We will take the time to carefully assess your options. Cosmetic care can include altering the shape and colour of your teeth, minor straightening and addressing any worn or missing teeth. Let's get the smile you want!
Root Canal Treatment
A damaged tooth that has nerve inflammation can be extremely painful. We act promptly, carrying out root canal therapy to get you out of pain and preserve your tooth. Root canal therapy which has a high success rate, is carried out and completed in comfort. Let's keep those teeth!
Mouthguards
Trauma to front teeth is unfortunately common. The best mouthguards are ones created and custom fitted offering the best protection for your mouth and teeth. Enjoy your contact sports safely!
Crowns & Bridges
Crowns also known as “caps”, are custom made and prolong the life of a weakened tooth. They restore and improve strength, function and natural appearance. Bridges are commonly used to literally 'bridge' a gap between two teeth, maintaining the natural bite and chewing ability as an alternative to an implant or denture!
Sleep appliances
The symptoms of snoring can be relieved with a MDSA splint by repositioning the jaw in a way that opens up the airway, allowing for better breathing. Bruxism known as teeth grinding occurs during sleep and times of stress. A night splint is one way to help if you are experiencing painful facial muscles, frequent headaches, earaches or excessive tooth wear!
Children's Dentistry
We suggest a first visit around three years of age, once all the baby teeth have emerged. We make it fun with a ride in our chair, counting and polishing baby teeth. We monitor that the permanent teeth are emerging correctly preventing major orthodontic problems in the future. Regular visits ensure the development of good oral habits. Let's teach children how to care for their teeth!
Emergency
Regular dental care reduces the occurrence of unexpected problems ranging from broken teeth, infections, trauma and pain. However, in such cases, we set aside time on a daily basis to deliver urgent care. During these urgent appointments, we will identify the problem and give interim care to get you out of trouble!
Extractions
On occasion teeth require extraction, be it wisdom teeth, severely decayed or traumatised teeth and in preparation for orthodontics. Should it be needed, we ensure you will be comfortable and looked after!
Payment plans
Zip money is a simple and secure way for you to access funds for treatment receiving flexible interest free terms. Approval can be obtained in 5 minutes following a zero paperwork application easily accessed via mobile or at home!
Dentures
We work together with our trusted quality technicians to create dentures that are comfortable, improve function, are stable and look natural. Dentures can restore your smile!
