Dental Implants

Restore your smile and regain oral function. We can help regain your smile, boost your confidence, and maintain your teeth for life. Implants can replace a single tooth or several teeth, and give permanent, natural looking results. They are often used in conjunction with Crowns and Porcelain Veneers to make a perfect smile. If you feel embarrassed or uncomfortable about gaps, missing teeth, dentures that are loose or unexpectedly drop down or you are unable to chew properly, yet you feel you deserve the best today’s modern restorative dentistry can provide, dental implants may be the solution. We are one of a handful of clinics in Western Melbourne offering Dental Implants.

Dentures

Our dentists can assist with partial and full dentures for most people. We offer both chrome dentures, and acrylic / resin denture options. Health fund rebates available, and Medicare EPC is accepted. For consultations regarding dentures, you will need to let us know the date your dentures were made, so please bring this information with you.

Forthcoming Seminars

We are pleased to present a series of information evenings held in our boardroom. Contact our reception by phone or email to secure a spot for you (and your significant other) to find out more about the latest trends in dental treatments, in a relaxed format. Includes a tour of our facilities, and a meet and greet with our clinical team (dentists and hygienist). Our 2012 seminar topics and dates will be posted here soon.

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. Pricing of crowns (dental item codes 613, 615, 618, 611 or 576) depends on a number of factors – and a quick call to us, or a consultation with one of our dentists, should be able to answer most of your questions. Why not ask us for information on how we can help you with Crowns today.

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. Commonly the bridges will include the following item codes – 613 or 615, plus 643). Ask our dentist if a Bridge could be a solution for you - to restore your smile, and boost your confidence.

Veneers

Veneers are an option where for aesthetics or function, there is a need to hide discolouration, or to straighten mis-shapen teeth, or repair chipped teeth. Porcelain Veneers and Composite Veneers are the most common types, although Bonding is also considered for some cases. Our dentist will have a consultation with you to determine if Veneers are suitable for your case. This may also involve taking a model of your teeth, and in some cases showing you a wax up of how the new teeth would look. In some cases a combination of Veneers and Crowns may be used in a smile makeover. Veneers usually utilise dental item codes 582 and 583. Ask for a consultation to discuss options for Veneers 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 Adam and Kris, and Oral Therapist Peter, are experienced in whitening procedures, and will make the shade as white as will be possible for your particular tooth structure. Results vary depending on the particular person – although commonly you would expect between 2 and 6 shades lighter.
We offer 3 different options to suit most patients wishes for a white smile using 3 main teeth whitening systems.
Zoom - in chair whitening with dramatic results visible right away. We use Zoom 3 Advanced Power which now protects the lips and nose from UV.
Contrast - in chair whitening with more subtle results with minimal sensitivity for most patients
Day White / Night White – a home whitening option that delivers results, where time in achieving great results is not a factor
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 (and prices) on our tooth whitening options, click HERE.

Root Canal Treatment

If your tooth has decay that has reached closed to the nerve, and therefore is unable to remain vital, as an option to tooth 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 maintain your smile, and 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. Keeping your teeth as long as possible is the preferred option for many reasons. Our dentists are trained in root canal therapy, and undertake Root Canal every day.

Our “Red Carpet” Comprehensive New Patient Examination
New patients will spend about an hour with our dentist and/or hygienist – undertaking a full examination of your teeth and gum health, and undertaking an initial scaling and cleaning with our high tech equipment. We will take low impact digital xrays of any areas of concern. The price for this service is capped at $160 for patients without health insurance. If you do have health insurance, then you should have no gap to pay at the end of the appointment (as we include check up, cleaning, xrays, intraoral photographs, flouride treatment and study models in this offer with no gap to pay). Offer valid to 10 Dec 2011.
Simply call us to make an appointment that suits - and bring your membership card to your appointment. We swipe the card, and you should have no gap to pay. Check with your health fund that you have dental extras, and have passed your waiting periods, and that your level of membership qualifies for this offer.
Of course if you are a member of Medibank Private or HCF on a qualifying level of cover, the health fund offers you a Free Check Up & Clean every 6 months (dental item codes 011 and 114). In addition we offer you no gap on the other preventative and diagnostic services (022 072 073 074 121)

Medicare EPC – Care Plans

We are no longer accepting new Medicare EPC patients.
We suggest that you may wish to contact Plenty Smiles, who also bulk bill Medicare EPC - and are taking new patients. Their details are available at www.plentysmiles.com.au.

As the Medicare EPC program is earmarked as soon concluding, all appointments made for existing Medicare EPC patients must be attended as booked, and we do not allow changes to appointments for Medicare EPC patients under 24 hours prior (for existing or new patients).

Children and Medicare Teen Dental Vouchers

If your family are patients of our clinic, we have a Dental Therapist on staff to look after the dental heath of your children. 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 - however we do ask that the appointment you make is kept - otherwise we will levy a $50 charge (per child) to change a teen dental appointment (and this cannot be bulk billed to Medicare).

At Hampstead Dental we are partners will all the major Health Funds, including nib Health Insurance and HBF and we also accept other Health Funds who participate in HICAPS - enabling you to claim your rebate on the spot, saving you time and hassle. If you are considering life insurance, Aussie Life Plan is a good option to consider. Or contact Guardian Insurance for a Life Insurance Quote.
