Our Services

Regular cleanings and check-ups are essential for maintaining good oral health. General Dentistry appointments enable us to provide a thorough cleaning to remove plaque and tartar buildup accumulated over months.

During your visit, we examine your teeth to screen for any developing issues, such as tooth decay or gum disease. Identifying problems early allows us to avoid extensive treatment in the future.

•     Dental Cleaning and Examinations: 

Regular exams and cleanings prevent plaque and calculus buildup around the teeth and under the gums. Scaling removes these deposits, and digital x-ray exams aid in preventing tooth decay, gingivitis, bone loss, halitosis (bad breath), and tooth loss.

•     Tooth Extraction: 

Some of the reasons why a tooth may need to be extracted include:

1.  Significant decay or damage to the tooth

2.  Gum disease

3.  To improve appearance, such as with orthodontic treatment

4.  Extensive tooth cracks

5.  Poor positioning or functionality

Extractions may or may not require surgery, depending on factors like the patient's health, age, tooth location, and root complexity. Your Demi Dental dentist will discuss best treatment options with you, requiring an x-ray to view the root location and formation, and the density of the supporting bone.

After extraction, your dentist will discuss replacement options, such as implants, fixed bridges, or dentures.

Demi Dental has made significant efforts to create child-friendly practices, staffed with gentle, caring clinicians who specialise in children's dentistry. Our clinics offer a variety of games and entertainment to ensure your child enjoys their visit while learning about dental care.

Routine checkups are essential for maintaining healthy teeth and gums and minimising the risk of toothache. These checkups typically include professional cleaning starting in the early teenage years.

•    No GAP Check-ups and Cleans (or capped at $170*).

We also bulk-bill eligible children under the Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS),  a program providing up to $1,000 in benefits over 2 consecutive years for basic dental services, including exams, x-rays, cleaning, fissure sealing, fillings, root canals, extractions and partial dentures. Orthodontic or cosmetic services are not covered, and benefits cannot be used for hospital services.

•     Composite Fillings: 

Should your dentist determine the necessity to address a cavity, they will commence by meticulously removing the decay and thoroughly cleansing the affected area. Subsequently, the cleaned cavity will be filled utilising a selection of materials as previously outlined.

•     Dental Bonding: 

Cosmetic dental bonding is a straightforward procedure. However, if your teeth exhibit discoloration or yellowing, it is advisable to undergo teeth whitening before proceeding with bonding treatments. This is because the composite material used in bonding procedures cannot be whitened.

•     Dental Crowns: 

A custom dental crown fits over a prepared natural tooth, replacing the visible part above the gums. Crowns improve both smile aesthetics and tooth strength, durability, and stability.

•     Dental Veneers: 

Veneers are a cosmetic dental procedure where thin tooth-colored porcelain or composite resin facings are bonded to the front teeth, offering a conservative alternative to dental crowns for various dental concerns.

•     Gaps between teeth

•     Stained or discoloured teeth

•     Broken or chipped teeth

•     Crowded teeth

•     Crooked, oddly shaped or misaligned teeth

Demi Dental offers top-quality cosmetic dental implants, providing natural-looking smiles with small titanium screws. Our procedures typically last 30 minutes for implant placement under local anesthesia, ensuring comfort with manageable post-surgery discomfort.

•     Implants help maintain and keep your jawbone intact

•     No need to sacrifice the health of adjacent teeth

•     Longer average lifespan

•     Better aesthetic and functional properties 

Immediate implant restoration is possible but not universally recommended for safety and success. We prioritise adequate bone integration before crown placement, promoting long-term stability.

Soft foods aid healing after surgery, and our implants seamlessly blend with surrounding teeth, ensuring stability for chewing. While implant failure is rare, infection or other factors may require alternative treatments.

Our implants are generally suitable for adults over 18 with sufficient bone volume and oral hygiene. A consultation with our qualified dentists determines individual suitability for treatment.

What is Teeth Whitening?

Teeth whitening or tooth bleaching is the process of enhancing the appearance and colour of your teeth. Before starting a whitening treatment, it's important for a dentist to examine your mouth to advise whether the whitening process is right for you.

There are two options of professional teeth whitening available at our Maven practices;

•     In-chair teeth whitening treatments

•     Custom-made take-home teeth whitening kits

Results may vary depending upon the original shade and condition of your teeth, but most people notice visible improvements shortly after treatment. Your dentist will be able to recommend the best option to suit you.

In-Chair Whitening (Philip Zoom Whitening)

We're offering a special promotion: just $499 (originally $799) – Valid Monday to Friday only, our treatment delivers effective, long-lasting results, guaranteeing a brighter smile you'll love!

In-chair whitening is a professional whitening procedure that is the fastest and most effective way to brighten your teeth and is carried out in the dental practice. In-chair whitening is the best option if you’re after almost 'instant' results and usually takes around 1-2 hours to complete.

If you’re ready for a brighter, whiter smile simply book a pre-whitening consultation with your dentist to check your suitability for a whitening treatment and to prescribe the most suitable method for you and the level of ‘whiteness’ you desire.

During the consultation, we will examine your mouth and identify any treatment that may need to be done prior to proceeding with whitening treatment.

The treatment involves the application of dental grade whitening gel to the teeth before it is activated by a special LED light in some cases.

Take-Home Whitening

Take-home whitening treatments allow you to brighten the shade of your teeth in the comfort of your own home. Before you get started, book a teeth whitening consultation with your dentist to discuss your suitability and how the treatment can help you reach your smile goals.

In your consultation a dentist will take impressions of your teeth for custom-made trays and book you in for a follow up appointment to pick up your custom whitening kit.

Your take home whitening kit will include two new custom-made trays (1 complete set with upper and lower teeth), syringes of dental grade whitening gel and easy-to-follow instructions.

Your dentist will advise you how often to repeat your at-home whitening sessions with the snug fit design of your custom-made tray and dentist quality whitening gel to achieve the level of whitening you desire.

•     Adjusting to New Dentures

Adapting to new dentures, whether partial or full, can be challenging. However, the transition pays off as patients regain both the natural appearance and functionality of teeth.

•     Denture Care

Proper care for removable dentures is essential. They should be removed at night and thoroughly cleaned, preferably with denture cleaning solutions to avoid damage from abrasive toothpaste. A specific denture brush is recommended to prevent harm to the dentures. When cleaning, it's crucial to avoid dropping them and to keep them moist at all times, either in water or a cleaning solution. Regular dental check-ups help ensure the dentures remain in good condition. For non-removable implant dentures, a brushing routine similar to caring for natural teeth is advised, along with maintaining gum and oral health.

What is Root Canal Treatment?

Root canal treatment, also known as root canal therapy (RCT) or endodontic treatment, is a dental procedure involving drilling into a decayed tooth to remove the soft center, known as the dental pulp. This pulp contains connective tissue, nerves, and blood supply and extends into the root of the tooth. Removing this soft center is crucial in preventing further decay. Depending on the tooth, crown replacement may also be necessary, where the chewing surface of the tooth is replaced.

Do I need Root Canal Therapy?

A root canal treatment rescues severely infected or damaged teeth caused by decay, repeated dental procedures, wear and tear, gum disease, cracked fillings, or injuries. Preserving natural teeth is crucial for better function and avoiding complex procedures associated with tooth loss. Root canal treatment is often the best solution for tooth preservation.

What's involved in the procedure?

Typically, upper wisdom teeth can be easily removed with local anesthesia, while lower ones might pose more challenges. The process generally includes incising the gum to expose the tooth, removing surrounding bone, and sometimes sectioning the tooth with a drill.

What complications might arise?

Potential issues may include pain, bleeding, swelling, infection, allergic reactions, dry socket, retained roots, adjacent tooth damage, sinus problems, jaw fractures, limited mouth opening, nerve damage, and osteonecrosis.

When can I expect to recover?

Recovery usually takes about a week, with many individuals returning to normal activities during this time.

In summary, while wisdom teeth can present serious issues, their removal is typically a safe and effective means of alleviating symptoms.
