From kids to grandparents, we welcome every member of your family to our dental clinic.

We Warmly Welcome New Patients

Family Dentistry

Every family should have a high-quality dentist with whom they can build a trusting relationship.

While our practice offers numerous dental services, gentle and thorough regular cleanings and check-ups are still at the foundation of our practice.

Family-Oriented Dentistry

Our friendly team recognises the importance of providing the services families need and customising care for kids.

Outstanding Oral Hygiene

Regular cleanings and check-ups are a key component of any healthy preventive care routine. These allow us to give your teeth a thorough cleaning to remove the plaque and tartar that build up on your teeth over the months.

By examining your teeth during your visit, we are able to screen for any issues that may be developing, such as tooth decay or gum disease. Instead of waiting until a problem is in advanced stages, we are able to identify issues early and avoid extensive treatment down the line.

We look forward to serving your entire family.

We recommend your child start seeing a dentist early to monitor their development. As children lose their baby teeth and grow new teeth, it’s important to check in and ensure the constant changes associated with a developing child’s teeth are occurring properly.

Comprehensive Care

Hopefully, with proper oral hygiene care and regular cleanings and check-ups at our clinic, your teeth will be healthy and problem-free. However, if you do require additional care that our practice does not provide in-house, we can refer you to a qualified specialist to fulfill your needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can my entire family see you?

We welcome patients of all ages to our clinic! We are happy to discuss your booking needs, so just give us a call and speak to someone from our friendly front desk staff!

What happens during an examination?

Examinations are an important opportunity for us to check in with you, see how you are doing, and make sure that your teeth are healthy. We want to catch problems when they are small and can be treated easily.

Unfortunately, by the time you are in pain, simple measures are usually no longer effective. Regular examinations allow us to identify problems early and keep your teeth healthy and beautiful.

What is the best way to keep my smile healthy?

Many people are more health-conscious than ever and realise the value of maintaining good health instead of just waiting to treat problems as they arise. General dentistry provides most of the services that patients of all ages require to keep their teeth and gums free from disease.

For optimum oral health, we recommend the following steps:

Brush Your Teeth at Least Twice Daily

Using a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste, brush your teeth for two full minutes using a small circular motion with the bristles gently angled toward your gum line. Using excessive force to brush will not clean your teeth more effectively and may damage delicate gum tissue.

Floss at Least Once Daily

Using two to three feet of floss, floss up and down each side of each of your teeth. Do not force the floss any further than it will comfortably go. Think of your floss as a squeegee that removes plaque. Don’t miss flossing behind your back teeth.

Dental Exams, Cleans, and X-Rays

Every patient is different. Follow your dentist’s recommended recall schedule to maintain healthy teeth and gums. For most patients, this will require a visit every six months. For patients who suffer from gum disease, have some catching up to do, or who have reduced dexterity that makes home care difficult, we may recommend more frequent visits to maintain your oral health.

Can you take care of all of my dental needs?

As a general dentistry practice, we take care of most of the dental needs that arise on a day-to-day basis by supporting good oral health and wellness using preventive, restorative, and teeth replacement dentistry services. Dental exams, cleanings, x-rays, fillings, crowns, bridges, and dentures are all part of what we do here in our office.

We are also here to answer questions about your oral health and to educate patients on the importance of healthy teeth and gums.

In our office, we also offer cosmetic dentistry enhancements to improve the way you feel about the appearance of your smile. We can discuss this with you at your regular dental exam, or we can arrange a cosmetic dentistry consultation.

Each patient is different. While we strive to provide most of the care you need here in our clinic, we want what is best for you and will refer you to treatment with a specialist when necessary.

Our goal is to help our patients maintain good overall health by promoting the health of their teeth and gums. We will let you know if we find any conditions that require treatment so that you and your dentist can discuss which options will work best for you.
