Checkups and cleans are a major part of general dentistry. At C4AD, we perform all the standard oral examinations and tooth cleaning with your comfort in mind. Lie back with Netflix and a set of Bluetooth headphones as we clean your teeth using the EMS Airflow tooth-cleaning system. Checkups and cleans have never been less invasive or more comfortable.
Are you experiencing dental pain, a broken tooth, a lost filling, or a dental abscess? At C4AD, your dental emergency is our priority. That’s why we will follow through with all emergency appointments within 24 hours. We are open six days per week, operating until 8 pm on Tuesdays
We are a dentist in Glen Huntly that believes in minimal intervention techniques and avoids unnecessary procedures where possible. However, there are conditions such as tooth decay, infection, or trauma that necessitate nerve removal. Root canal treatment removes pain and retains a tooth that is still functional. As long as the tooth is strong enough, retaining your own teeth is always the best option. There is nothing better than smiling, eating, and talking with your own set of pearly whites!
If you’re experiencing issues such as dental sensitivity, pain with chewing, chipped teeth, a lost filling or more complex problems like broken crowns, you might be in need of restorative dental treatment.
Restorative dentistry focuses on restoring a tooth to its former functional self. Depending on a patient’s preferences and needs, we can also restore a tooth’s aesthetics. At C4AD, dental fillings are the most common restorative treatments that we perform. Direct restorative dentistry involves directly bonding tooth coloured composite resin onto the affected tooth resulting in a sturdy, functional tooth that looks and feels like the original. Because this is done directly in one appointment you can go back to fully enjoying the food and drinks without having to wait.
Direct composite bonding often doubles as a cosmetic treatment as well. This is a fast and effective way of masking some aesthetic problems such as discolouration, gaps between teeth, poorly shaped teeth and sometimes even crooked teeth.
Indirect restorative dentistry involves a specialised dental laboratory making your ceramic restoration outside of the mouth. Hence, it is called “indirect”. Often the restoration – a crown, veneer, inlay or onlay – is milled from a block of tooth coloured ceramic called zirconia which looks and feels like a natural tooth. It is very strong, durable and highly polished and once cemented onto the tooth it lasts decades.
Unlike amalgam—the material we use for fillings—ceramic and composite resin are tooth-coloured. They blend seamlessly with the natural tooth and are a great aesthetic choice.
