Missing Teeth:
Teeth can be lost for many reasons and can compromise chewing and aesthetics. Missing teeth can be replaced with implants, dentures or bridges to help restore your smile and improve function. Our practitioners will take the time to talk to you about all your options to help you achieve the smile you want.
Emergency Dentistry:
Dental emergencies can happen at any time. That's why we offer emergency dental services to provide you with prompt care when you need it the most; we aim to get you seen the same day, if possible.
Children's Dentistry:
We believe it’s important to make every child’s dental experience a fun and positive one, and start good oral health habits early. That’s why we recommend bringing your child to the dentist from around 2-3 years of age. Regular dental examinations will help early detection of dental concerns and will allow us to monitor your child’s dental development. We offer a range of children's dentistry services, including routine check-ups, fissure sealants, and fluoride treatments.
Dental Fillings:
One of the most common dental treatments we provide is dental fillings, which are a crucial aspect of preserving the integrity of your teeth and preventing further damage. Whether you have a cavity, a cracked tooth, or a worn-down tooth, dental fillings can effectively restore your tooth's structure, allowing you to smile with confidence and enjoy your favorite foods without discomfort.
At Sandgate Family Dental, we offer tooth coloured composite resin fillings. These are made from a tooth-colored material that blends seamlessly with your natural teeth. These fillings are durable and ideal for repairing small to medium-sized cavities, especially in visible areas of the mouth. Composite fillings bond directly to the tooth, providing additional strength and support.
Root Canal Treatment:
Root canal treatment, also known as endodontic therapy, is a dental procedure that involves removing the infected or damaged pulp (the soft tissue inside the tooth) and cleaning, disinfecting, and sealing the tooth's interior. This treatment is necessary when the tooth's pulp becomes inflamed or infected due to deep decay, a cracked tooth, or trauma. Left untreated, the infection can lead to severe pain, abscess formation, and eventual tooth loss. After the root canal treatment is completed, a dental crown is generally placed on the treated tooth to restore its strength and functionality, and protect it from further damage.
