General Dentistry

Templestowe

What We Offer

Our range of general dentistry services includes preventive care, such as regular check-ups and cleanings, as well as restorative procedures, such as fillings and crowns. We also offer cosmetic treatments, such as teeth whitening and veneers, to enhance the appearance of your smile.

Root Canals

Root canals are one of the most common procedures performed in general dentistry, and despite the fear and discomfort that the words often evoke, our team is equipped with the latest technology and techniques to ensure that the experience is as pain-free and stress-free as possible. In most cases, root canals can be completed in just two appointments, with minimal discomfort and long-lasting results.

Sports Mouthguards

Sports mouthguards are vital for athlete protection, and choosing one that fits well and provides adequate coverage is essential. Our dental professionals take a precise impression of your teeth to create a custom-fitted mouthguard tailored to your unique needs. This personalized fit not only enhances comfort and protection but also lasts longer than generic mouthguards found in sports stores.

Wisdom Teeth

Wisdom teeth extraction is a common procedure in dentistry, especially when these teeth cause issues. If your wisdom teeth are leading to pain, swelling, or crowding, our team can help remove them to prevent further complications. Typically emerging in the late teens or early twenties, wisdom teeth can sometimes disrupt oral health. Our dental professionals will carefully evaluate your situation and discuss the best treatment plan tailored to your needs.

Sleep Dentistry

Does the thought of a visit to the dentist cause you anxiety? It’s a common problem, but there’s a simple solution: sleep dentistry. It should not stop you from receiving necessary dental treatment. At King Street Dental, we understand the discomfort associated with dental procedures, and that’s why we offer sleep dentistry as an option for our patients.

Frequently Asked Questions

General dentistry is a crucial aspect of maintaining good oral health, and at King Street Dental Group, we understand the importance of regular check-ups and early diagnosis of any dental conditions. Our general dentistry services include a wide range of treatments and procedures aimed at keeping your teeth and gums healthy, from routine cleanings and fillings to more complex procedures like root canals and wisdom teeth extractions.

At King Street Dental Group, we recommend visiting the dentist every 6 months for regular check-ups and cleanings. This schedule helps maintain good oral health and allows us to catch and treat any potential issues early on. If you have any underlying dental conditions or a history of oral problems, you may need to visit more frequently. During your check-up, your dentist will assess the health of your teeth and gums and recommend the best course of action to maintain or improve your oral health.

Gum bleeding is a common issue and can be caused by a variety of reasons, including brushing too hard, gingivitis, or periodontitis. It’s important to schedule an appointment with your dentist if you notice persistent bleeding, as it could be a sign of an underlying problem.

At King Street Dental Group, our dentists will assess the cause of the bleeding and recommend the best course of action to treat it.

Both manual and electric toothbrushes can be effective in cleaning your teeth and maintaining good oral health. The type of toothbrush you choose may depend on your personal preference and specific needs.

At King Street Dental Group, we recommend using a toothbrush with soft bristles, regardless of whether it’s manual or electric, to avoid damaging your enamel or gums. We also suggest brushing for at least two minutes, twice a day, and replacing your toothbrush every three to four months.

Dentistry can be expensive due to several factors, including the cost of materials, laboratory fees, and the cost of running a dental practice. The cost of dental procedures can also vary based on the complexity of the treatment and the experience of the dentist.

At King Street Dental Group, we understand that cost is a concern for many of our patients. That’s why we offer several payment options and work with insurance providers to ensure that our patients receive the dental care they need at a price they can afford.

At King Street Dental Group, we recommend bringing your child in for their first dental appointment around their first birthday or when their first tooth erupts. This early visit helps familiarise your child with the dental office and sets the stage for a lifetime of good oral health.

Oral health is an important aspect of overall health and well-being. Poor oral health can lead to a variety of problems, including tooth decay, gum disease, and infections.

Maintaining good oral health involves regular brushing and flossing, eating a balanced diet, and scheduling regular dental check-ups and cleanings. At King Street Dental Group, we are committed to helping our patients maintain good oral health and preventing future problems.
