Bondi Dental's FAQVisiting a good Dentist regularly can ensure the detection of problems in your mouth before they cause you pain or become difficult and expensive to treat. A regular check-up can save you time and money.
We all clean our teeth. We might make every effort, with our brushing and flossing to daily remove plaque from our teeth and gums. Most of the time we can remove some of the plaque. However there are some hard-to-reach areas that are difficult to get to, in which case, there will be build-ups. If plaque has been left on a tooth for a day or two it becomes hardened by the minerals in your saliva. Gradually this plaque tartar builds up and is called calculus. Calculus is very hard, removing it is no longer a job for your toothbrush, you need the professional help of a Dentist or Dental Hygienist.

There are often signs that a filling needs to be replaced. When you first notice a filling has changed in appearance, is broken, painful, leaking, loose or falls out it is time to have it replaced. Fillings that feel fine should be regularly checked by a dentist for any damage or wear. You may choose to have an amalgam filling replaced to improve its appearance and to reduce the long term risk of your tooth developing a fracture.

Replacing a missing tooth can be achieved through dental implants, a bridge or a partial or full denture. By replacing a missing tooth you are ensuring your continued chewing function and cosmetic appearance. You are also preventing future problems that can result from the loss of a tooth, such as, sideways drifting of the teeth, bone loss and over eruption of the tooth that bites against the gap in your smile.
Our first recommendation is to have your teeth professionally cleaned. If you have stains, tartar or red, puffy, bleeding gums a professional cleaning will make a noticeable improvement to your smile’s health and appearance. Cosmetically there are many ways to improve your smile. Dr Andrew Sih can artistically use tooth coloured materials that bond to your teeth to alter the apparent size, shape, height, contour or colour of your teeth. Dark or stained teeth can be dramatically lightened by use of our professional home whitening system. Crowns or Veneers can be used to obtain the same level of translucency and light reflecting texture of natural teeth.
