You might be surprised by what qualified as a dental emergency. While dental trauma is certainly an emergency, it is important to have your dental needs addressed if you have:

Any pain or a toothache
Chips
cracks or broken teeth
Missing teeth
Wisdom tooth pain
Inflammed or bleeding gums
Broken orthodontics
Broken or missing implants
crowns or veneers
Extremely sensitive teeth or gums

It is not advised to let any of these dental conditions wait as they could be a sign of a major issue or could lead to further infection and complications. If you need urgent dental care, give us a call on 1300 376 453. We will organise treatment and pain relief to ensure you are not suffering and organise proper consultations, scans and treatment options.

Orthodontics Glenwood

Our team of orthodontists offer a full range of affordable, efficient and effective treatment options in a comfortable and professional setting including:

Children’s orthodontics: The best results are achieved when children begin treatment as young as possible. As a team, we strive to make the orthodontic experience for your child fun, pleasant and welcoming.

Adult orthodontics: Getting braces isn’t just for kids any more. If your gums and bone structure are healthy, it is possible to change the alignment of your teeth at any age. At our practice, we offer orthodontic treatment tailored to the needs of adults.

Braces: Among our options are metal, clear, and elastic braces as well as retainers. There are various types of braces available to suit the treatment needs and aesthetic concerns of you or your child.

Invisalign: If you don’t want to wear braces because of the wires and brackets, Invisalign is a great option. You simply wear a series of clear, customised, removable appliances called aligners that are practically invisible.

Cosmetic Dentist Glenwood

It is vital that you have any missing, broken or cracked teeth looked at by our professional dentists – and not just for aesthetic reasons.

These dental issues can cause build-ups of bacteria that can lead to decay and further dental problems. When you have missing teeth, it can impact the shape of your face and your jaw.

Fortunately, there are a number of affordable and effective treatment options available to replace missing teeth and repair cracked ones. We can advise the best course of treatment with crowns, veneers and implants that will match your other teeth and give you a confident smile once more.

Porcelain Veneers Glenwood

A porcelain veneer resembles a natural tooth due to its thin and transparent appearance. In order to give your teeth a brand new appearance, the sheets are placed over them.

Porcelain is a porous material that allows a little light to pass through, giving it a reflective quality similar to that of your natural tooth enamel. This makes them one of the most natural-looking and effective treatments for many cosmetic dental issues.

Using veneers, you can conceal stains, gaps, discolouration, chips, cracks, and misshapen teeth at the same time. If you are experiencing any of these problems, porcelain veneers may be the perfect solution to give you the smile you’ve always wanted.

Dental Implants Glenwood

Dental implants are an attractive and durable way to replace missing teeth. An implanted titanium root connects your jawbone to the crown of a false tooth which functions as an artificial tooth.

There are a number of benefits that dental implants offer over other alternative treatment options when it comes to replacing missing teeth.

The reason dental implants function like natural teeth is that they are permanently attached to your jawbone. As you eat, talk, or laugh, they won’t slip out of place.

All on 4 Glenwood

A procedure called All-on-4 Dental Implants allows patients to undergo surgery and replace their teeth in one day. Often, these implants are referred to as Teeth-in-a-Day.

All-on-4 involves placing four dental implants and then placing dentures immediately over the implants. These denture implants provide bone level stabilisation using your available bone. For patients who lack bone density or volume, Dentapex in Glenwood recommends All-on-4 implants, which do not require bone grafting.

These dental implants offer minimal recovery time, are affordable, and provide long-term results. As a result, patients can eat the foods they love again. In addition, implant-supported dentures are easier to maintain since removable appliances are no longer an issue.

Root Canal Treatment Glenwood

It is not just the exterior of your teeth that can be impacted by bacteria, the inside of your tooth is susceptible to damage as well. When bacteria reach the inner tissue of your teeth it can lead to extreme pain from the ensuing infection and ultimately it can destroy your tooth from the inside.

If you have extreme pain and/or hypersensitivity to hot and cold with your teeth, you may well need a root canal treatment. This treats the issue of bacteria in your teeth and can save the tissue and ultimately the tooth itself.

If the inner tissue (also called pulp) cannot be saved, you may require extraction and a dental implant to replace the missing tooth.

Teeth Whitening Glenwood

Everyone wants a brilliant, white smile. But over time, a number of factors including diet, smoking, caffeine and just age itself can cause teeth to become dull, yellowed or discoloured.

We offer a range of completely safe and effective teeth whitening solutions that will enable you to have a dazzling smile once again. Whether you want instant results through in-chair treatments or progressive results from take-home kits, we can provide the best innovations in teeth whitening for you at our Glenwood clinic.

Wisdom Teeth Extraction Glenwood

Often, people are unaware that they may have an extra set of teeth under their gums that could cause significant complications. The third set of molars, commonly called wisdom teeth, go undetected until they become problematic.

A dental x-ray may be required to determine whether they are present beneath the gum line. Sometimes the teeth make their way into the oral cavity, but this usually results in a variety of complications.

Wisdom teeth may need to be removed at Dentapex Glenwood early, typically in the late teens, even if they have not erupted yet. Our skilled surgeon and highly trained office staff will ensure that you have all the information you need before your procedure so that you can make an informed decision about your anesthesia.

As a Dentapex Glenwood patient, we are dedicated to ensuring that your surgery is as comfortable and rapid as possible and that you achieve excellent wisdom teeth removal treatment results at our clinic.

Kids Dentist Glenwood

Our dental habits become established very early in life so it is vital to get your children into the routine of regular trips to the dentist.

We understand that some children can be afraid of dental clinics, so every member of our team will do everything possible to make it fun, comfortable and educational for our youngest patients.

Don’t wait until they need fillings because of decay, start the process early so they can develop lifelong habits for a healthy mouth.

Invisalign Glenwood

This modern alternative to braces allows children and adults to achieve a perfect smile without the need for braces. Our orthodontists will take detailed scans of your mouth to create specialised retainers to correct any alignment issues for perfectly straight teeth.

These retainers are virtually undetectable, so there is no embarrassment or feelings of self-consciousness. You can also remove them when you need to clean your teeth or eat, eliminating the complications that come with wires and braces.

It is the perfect solution for a perfectly aligned smile without any of the hassles of traditional metal braces.

Dental Bridges Glenwood

The dentists at Dentapex Glenwood can recommend a dental bridge if you’re missing one or more teeth. A row of porcelain crowns is anchored to adjacent teeth to cover a gap left by the missing tooth or teeth.

The patient can also choose an implant-supported bridge, which is similar to a traditional bridge but is fixed to implants rather than the adjacent teeth. In cases of missing three or more consecutive teeth, implant-supported bridges are used.

Dental implants are the more common solution today as they can last a lifetime, but dental bridges are an affordable and effective solution for people that are missing multiple teeth and are better than dentures.

Dental Crowns Glenwood

When a filling or onlay is insufficient to fix a tooth that has significant decay or fracture, a dental crown is used to restore a tooth’s strength and function.

Traditionally, an all-porcelain crown is recommended for the front smile zone of the mouth for its natural look. In our Glenwood clinic, a dental crown must be fitted over the course of two to three appointments. We will first remove decay from the tooth, shape it, and fit a temporary crown on it. Your smile remains intact when you leave after each session so you can go about your life without feeling self-conscious.
