Treatment for your teeth
Fitzroy St Dental is a full-service clinic where individualised treatment for your teeth is our top priority.
We believe that prevention is better than cure and can't stress enough the importance of oral hygiene education and regular preventive dentistry such as examinations, consultations and professional cleaning. We encourage regular appointments to maintain your oral health in the hope to prevent unnecessary dental treatment down the track.
Our strong focus on children and their development of great oral health routines from an early age is very important. We make it easy to utilise the Medicare Child Dental Benefit Schedule with on the spot claiming for eligible patients ages 2-18 years (*eligibility is determined by the government. Families on tax benefit A and B should have received a voucher/letter outlining the scheme). |
Loss of tooth structure is a sad fact of life. Erosion, decay and fractures can occur to your teeth. We have many techniques for restoring your teeth to their former glory. Root Canal Therapy is sometimes needed to retain the tooth. This process involves the thorough cleaning and treatment of the thin canals found within the roots of your tooth followed by obturation (filling) of these canals. Some teeth though cannot be saved.
The inevitable loss of a tooth can vary from a simple extraction to a complicated surgical extraction. Not all extracted teeth need to be replaced, however we can tailor all aspects of prosthetic replacement dentistry from single tooth implants, removable and/or implant supported partial or full dentures, to fixed crown and bridge tooth restoration. All dentures and ceramic work , where possible, are fabricated locally. |
Fitzroy St Dental can tailor a treatment plan for you involving both the placement and restoration of dental implants at the clinic, from single tooth replacement to all of your teeth. This process involves determining the suitability of implant placement from a clinical analysis and a 3D cone beam radiograph. A titanium implant is then placed into the jaw bone (with much less trauma and pain than one might imagine). The bone osseointegrates (heals) around the implant for a minimum of 3 months. A tooth is then fabricated and screwed on to the implant. The ever improving techniques and products for this treatment are changing the focus of dentistry towards this permanent tooth replacement solution.

We know that the Clarence Valley loves its sport! Hockey, rugby union, rugby league, mixed martial arts and many other sports can however increase risk of damage to your teeth if an injury happens. A professionally made custom fit mouth guard is not only more comfortable to wear, but significantly reduces trauma sustained to the mouth in the event of an injury from contact sport. At Fitzroy St Dental we pride ourselves on our custom fit mouth guards. We make them at the clinic and always have a range of colours and patterns on hand for you to chose from. We can even include a logo or saying to ensure that protecting your teeth always looks awesome! All it takes is a 10 minute appointment with one of our practitioners for an impression and you can pick up your mouth guard in a couple of days. For members of private health funds, rebates are available. |
Awesome looking protection for your teeth.
