Root Canal Treatment

If your tooth has decayed and unable to remain vital, as an option to teeth extraction / removing the tooth, the dentist may suggest Root Canal Treatment (RCT).  This procedure removes the nerve from the tooth, and allows you to retain the tooth - which will allow you to continue to eat and chew as you have done in the past, and perhaps avoid dentures in later life.  Extracting a tooth may have complications such as allowing remaining teeth to drift and tilt, so keeping your teeth as long as possible is the preferred option.  See OUR SERVICES page for more details.
 

Crowns

A dental crown (or cap) helps to retain the tooth, by supporting the structure that lies beneath it. Crowns are often used to protect a weak tooth, restore a fractured or cracked tooth, to cover a discoloured tooth, or protect a non-vital tooth (that has had Root Canal Treatment). Your Crown (or cap as some people call them) will be made to fit your smile, and match the surrounding teeth colour and shape.  It takes 2 visits to prepare and fit a crown. Ask us about Crowns today.

Teeth Whitening

Make your smile shine - not a fake Hollywood white - but a natural white that will give you the best possible smile results.  Our dentists are experienced in whitening procedures, and will make the shade look as white as possible, without going too far.  Zoom, Brite White, Opalescence, Night White and many more are available, but we use Visible White - a system that does not use a light activation, and therefore does not leave you with a "sunburnt" nose or lips.   Put yourself in the hands of our dentists for a professional in-chair whitening procedure, and get that smile you have been longing for.   For more information on our whitening options, click HERE.


Bridges
Bridges are an option that give function and aesthetic results, without the need for major surgical procedures required with implants - and often at a much lower cost as well.  The adjoining teeth are used as the structure to support an additional tooth placed in the "gap".  There are different types of bridges depending on the situation - conventional bridge, cantilever bridge, resin bonded bridge and many more. Bridges can be used for rear (molar), side (incisor) or front (anterior) teeth. Ask our dentist if a Bridge could be a solution for you - to restore your smile, and boost your confidence.

Medicare EPC & Medicare Teen Dental Vouchers
Medicare EPC is a program where a GP sets up a care plan, and refers certain patients for treatment at a dentist - we are one of the few dentists in our area that participate in this program.  In most cases there will not be a gap (and in the unlikley event your Medicare EPC Care Plan requires a gap payment, we will let you know well in advance when we are setting up your particular treatment plan).   If you qualify for the Medicare EPC program, ask your GP to refer you to Dr Mattsson or Dr Bautista at Hampstead Dental. 
If you have a child aged 12 - 18 years of age, chances are you have received a "Teen Dental Voucher" in the post from Medicare.  The vouchers can be used to cover the cost of a check up, clean and even xrays.  We accept these vouchers without a gap payment.  The vouchers expire on 31st Dec each year, so make your appointment now and dont let your childs Teen Dental Voucher expire.
