If you are looking to dramatically increase the appearance of your smile, we offer a range of cosmetic dental services to improve the appearance of your smile.

We also offer SmileTru – the latest in invisible braces (made popular from Invisalign) from UK.

For those special occasions, such as that Wedding and or Christmas – we offer the latest tooth whitening treatments that includes a suite of treatments such as Zoom Whitening, Pola Day and Night and Colgate Whitening.

Tooth Extractions

Tooth extraction involves having one or more teeth completely removed from your mouth. A tooth can be removed for the following common reasons.

Severe gum disease (periodontal disease) – when bacteria build up on your teeth and damage the bone that holds them in place, the teeth may become looseTooth decay – if a tooth is very rotten, its nerves and blood vessels can die, leading to a painful abscessBroken tooth that can’t be repairedCrowded teeth – if you have a small jaw or lost your milk (baby) teeth early, your teeth may be crooked and you may need to have one or more removed so that the rest can be straightenedWisdom tooth problems – if there isn’t enough space in your mouth for your wisdom teeth they may become impacted (stuck behind the tooth in front) and need to be removed
If you don’t want to have your tooth taken out, sometimes alternative treatments are available.

Painkillers or antibiotics may ease any pain and swelling, but these will just relieve your symptoms in the short term and won’t get rid of the underlying problem.

If an infected tooth is identified early enough, you may be able to have root canal treatment instead of having the whole tooth removed.

Fissure Sealants

Deep pits, fissures or grooves in teeth often cannot be reached by the fine bristles of a tooth brush. Plaque (bacteria) can then get trapped in the groove and produce acid that may cause tooth decay. A fissure sealant is a protective tooth coloured hard resin coating that is bonded in the grooves (fissure) and pits of teeth to help stop decay from forming.

Zoom Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening has become one of the most sought after cosmetic dental procedures today. Zoom teeth whitening is one of the most popular teeth whitening systems employed by cosmetic dentists. At the moment it is one of the most powerful, effective and safe methods available on the market. Zoom teeth whitening is applied by the dentist after a brief test. There are no known side effects of Zoom teeth whitening procedure.

Zoom Teeth Whitening Formula
Zoom teeth whitening is based on specifically formulated, pH balanced hydrogen peroxide gel and specially designed, low-heat light that penetrates the patients teeth.

Zoom Teeth Whitening Effect
Zoom teeth whitening can make your teeth six to ten shades lighter. The procedure takes from as little as 1 hour!

Crowns
A Crown describes a dental procedure where the whole of the tooth except the root is restored. Crowns are the strongest possible solution for damaged teeth and if performed well, will last for much longer than a normal filling. Crowns are made to look and feel like natural teeth. They are usually recommended when there is a considerable structural damage to a tooth and when other filling techniques are not adequate. The reasons for this damage may be due to decay, trauma, cracks or just normal wear and tear. A crown greatly strengthens the tooth and provides an improved aesthetic result.

PREVENTIVE DENTISTRY

DENTAL IMPLANTS
It may not be fair, but people are often judged on their smile. Dental implants could be the solution that will bring out your wonderful smile once again…

ORTHODONTICS
Orthodontics are the answer to correct crooked or misaligned teeth, a faulty bite, or close big gaps. We offer a few different types of orthodontics to suit your needs…

Your teeth are the foundation of a confident, brilliant smile
How often have you delayed going to the dentist because of a negative past experience? Or because you were too busy during the week? Or because you felt that since you didn’t have any problems, your teeth were fine?

People have plenty of excuses to not visit the dentist, but in reality preventive care is the easiest way to maintain a healthy mouth, teeth, and smile.

Smile with confidence through preventive dentistry
When you visit Park Road Dental for your preventive dentistry, you will receive excellent care and advice to help maintain your teeth and mouth. Our Oral Hygienists, experienced dentists, and professional staff will help with early decay detection, gum disease prevention and maintenance, dietary and oral hygiene advice, bad breath advice, and many other preventive measures. Catching and controlling these situations early is much better for long-term maintenance of your teeth and general oral health.

Teeth become damaged over time
Our strongest muscles are the muscles used for chewing, and over time, teeth are subject to many forces that can cause damage. Unfortunately our teeth are in their best shape when they first come through the gums. They experience continual degradation due to decay, wear, erosion, abrasion, and cracking. As we get older, we need to spend more time on dental maintenance if we want to avoid losing teeth.

Neglecting damaged teeth, whether they are chipped, cracked, decayed, or worn, has the potential to lead to more serious dental problems. Regular visits to the dentist are essential for maintaining good oral health!

Professional Dental Implants In Bayside
Dental implants are an increasingly popular alternative to dentures as a treatment for missing teeth. Because they are fixed and permanent, they have an advantage over removable dentures in terms of requiring less upkeep and maintenance.

Implants are generally considered to be more comfortable and offer better performance than dentures, which have a tendency to slip around in the mouth. While they usually cost more initially, the higher price of dental implants is often mitigated by the fact that they last longer than dentures and generally don’t require replacement.

General Dentistry

At Bright Light Dental we take pride in keeping your teeth strong and healthy.

From your 6 monthly dental check-up, digital X-Rays, and to keep your teeth looking pearly white, a dental clean and scale will leave you walking away with a shiny smile.

Restorative Dentistry

Restorative dentistry involves fixing a tooth that has been damaged either by tooth decay, trauma, or every day wear and tear. Usually this involves what is commonly called a “filling”.

At Bright Light Dental we no longer use silver fillings (Amalgam) and will always try our best to match your filling to your tooth colour, which is preferred by most patients.

Endodontics & Root Canal Therapy

This therapy is commonly referred to as Root Canal Treatment and is usually required because the inner part of the tooth, “The Pulp” becomes inflamed or infected.

This can quite often cause the tooth to be very painful and/or sensitive to hot and/or cold. For the pain to subside and to save the tooth, it’s necessary to remove the infection which is contained within the pulp and nerves of the tooth’s roots, before sealing the tooth’s canals with a rubber filling. Usually this process is carried out over 2-3 appointments depending if pain persists.

Crown, Bridge & Veneers

A Crown is a tooth shaped “cap” that is used to cover a tooth. A crown is often used to cover badly broken down teeth, worn teeth or discoloured teeth. They are highly recommended after having endodontic treatment on a tooth as it then becomes very weak and brittle, a crown can strengthen that tooth.

A Bridge is a fixed dental restoration, used to replace a missing tooth and/or teeth, by joining an artificial tooth to the adjoining teeth.

Dentures

At Bright Light Dental we offer all sorts of different types of dentures, whether they are full dentures or partial dentures.

All dentures are removable appliances which are used to replace any missing teeth in the mouth.

Teeth Whitening

At Bright Light Dental we offer 3 different types of teeth whitening products. In chair laser teeth whitening, this is a once off 90 minute appointment, and is completed using the Smart Bleach products.

We also offer a take home tray system. We will custom make your whitening trays at the dental lab before giving you 10 syringes of the Pola Night whitening kit. This usually involves a 2 week process of wearing these trays for 40 minutes each night.

Our final option for teeth whitening is Opalescence. It’s a simple, fast and great tasting way to have whiter teeth. With no impressions or custom trays needed, it is ready to use straight out of the box, and only takes 15 minutes per day.

Laser Dentistry

Of the many treatments laser dentistry can offer, laser fillings is the one that will most change your visit to the dentist. In these new treatments a dental laser is used instead of the drill to remove decay before a filling is placed in the tooth.

The greatest benefit of laser fillings is that needles and drills are usually not required!! This means no more high pitched drilling noises and no more numb lips.

Cosmetic Dentistry

Cosmetic dentistry is any form of dentistry that aims to improve the appearance of a person’s teeth or smile.

At Bright Light Dental we offer a range of these services to achieve this:

Teeth whitening
Veneers
Implants
Crowns
Bridges and White fillings

Restorations (Fillings)
A restoration or filling is used to replace tooth structure which has been damaged from decay, cracks, trauma or abrasion. The tooth is usually numbed with local anaesthetic prior to cavity preparation, the affected portion of the tooth is then removed and the tooth is washed, dried and a filling is packed into the cavity. It is then shaped and checked that it is comfortable in your bite.

Amalgam filling
Amalgam or silver fillings have been used for many years and still have an important role in modern dentistry. Dental amalgam is a safe, cost effective, strong and durable option to consider for posterior teeth.
White fillings
Composites fillings are tooth coloured and can be an alternative to amalgam restorations. Being tooth coloured, composite has the advantage that it highly aesthetic and can be used in aesthetics areas such as front teeth. Composites can also be used in posterior teeth as well but do have their limitations and are not always a recommended option.
rc-veneer-1-150x150rc-veneer-2-150×150

Inlays/onlays
Inlays are indirect fillings that are custom made in a laboratory and then subsequently glued into place at a subsequent appointment. An interim restoration is placed between appointments. Inlays were traditionally made out of gold, but more aesthetics alternatives such as porcelain, ceramic or composite material are now available.
Onlays are similar to inlays, the difference being that onlays are a much more extensive repair that covers the tooth cusps.
Compared to a normal filling, inlays and onlays can be more costly due to the the high-quality materials and precision fit. They can also be advantageous by increasing the overall strength of the tooth due as they are bonded directly onto the tooth.

Scale and Clean
Plaque (soft, sticky biofilm of bacteria) can readily accumulate on your teeth after eating and drinking. If it is not removed, it will bath in your saliva and caclify into a build-up of calcium deposits known as tartar (calculus). Tartar harbours the specific bacteria which damages your gums and causes gum disease [hyperlink to gum disease].
It is essential that your teeth be cleaned professionally twice a year to disturb the plaque and tartar. Your teeth are also polished leaving a clean and smooth surface, making it difficult for bacteria to adhere to your teeth making it easier for you to maintain a healthy clean mouth.

CROWNS AND BRIDGES

Crowns
A crown or a cap is fabricated in the dental laboratory with a mould made of the tooth. This covers and protects the remaining tooth structure from fracture by normal chewing forces, especially after root canal treatment. It can also be used to improve the colour and shape of teeth. It can be made up of porcelain, gold, zirconia or composite.

Bridges
Bridges replace one or more missing natural tooth. It is a permanent replacement fabricated in the dental laboratory and is anchored to the adjacent natural teeth to bridge the gap. It helps prevent the natural teeth from drifting and causing discrepancy in the bite. Another alternative for a bridge is an implant, whereby the lost or missing tooth is replaced by an implant.

CHILDREN DENTISTRY

For toddlers an young children, teeth cleaning should start as soon as teeth are present in the mouth. By 2 ½ years, most of the baby teeth have come into the mouth. Hence the emphasis for children as young as 2 years to start visiting the dentist, it also builds up repprt and familiarity preventing anxious parents with anxious kids.
CDBS
Medicare provides financial support for basic dental service aged 2-17 years. Eligible children receive a capped $1000 each over a 2 year calendar period. No out of pocket expenses at Mentone Dental. Simply provide your Medicare card and get bulk billed.
