Why Choose Huntingdale-Thornlie Dental for Your Oral Health Care

At Huntingdale-Thornlie Dental, we offer several sedation options to support patients experiencing dental anxiety. Here’s how we help:

• Nitrous oxide (laughing gas):
  This mild sedative is inhaled through a mask, quickly helping you to relax without putting you to sleep. It’s safe and effective, and the effects wear off soon after the mask is taken off, allowing you to recover quickly.
• Oral sedation:
  An oral sedative is taken shortly before your treatment to help you feel relaxed when it starts. This method is ideal for reducing anxiety without the need for needles or IVs.
• IV sedation:
  For those who need a deeper level of sedation, we offer IV sedation administered by a qualified anesthetist. This option is considered on a case-by-case basis only if it suits your specific health and dental needs.

Our priority is to make your dental visits as comfortable and worry-free as possible. Each sedation method is designed to provide a soothing experience, helping you to feel calm and cared for throughout your treatment

   An examination of your teeth, gums, and mouth helps us identify current needs and preventive measures.
3. Aesthetic goals:
   We discuss what you hope to achieve aesthetically, aligning our treatments to meet these desires.
4. Budget constraints:
   We consider your budget to suggest options that are financially manageable while still effective.
5. Time frame:

Our focus on detailed assessments and your personal preferences makes your dental journey both effective and aligns with your overall lifestyle and health goals.

Patients with missing teeth have several treatment options available at Huntingdale-Thornlie Dental. Here’s a detailed look at each option:

• Dental implants:
  A titanium post is implanted into the jawbone, acting as an artificial root for a crown that looks and functions like a natural tooth. This option provides a stable, long-lasting replacement.
• Bridges:
  Crowns are placed on both sides of the gap left by the missing tooth, attached to natural teeth or implants, with a false tooth positioned in the middle. Bridges assist in keeping teeth aligned and restoring their function.
• Dentures:
  These are removable appliances that replace missing teeth while maintaining facial structure and improving speech and eating abilities. They’re suitable for patients missing multiple teeth.

These options provide versatile options for replacing missing teeth, catering to varying needs and preferences. Understanding these differences allows us to recommend a suitable option for restoring your smile and dental function.
