To keep your smile healthy, we recommend scheduling a preventative checkup and cleaning at least twice per year. Thanks to regular visits with our Moonee Ponds dentist, you can lower the chances of tooth decay and periodontal disease as well as a host of other dental concerns.
Comprehensive check up & clean for just $ 250
Having an extensive baseline reading of your tooth and gum health makes it easier to intercept issues in the future. During your comprehensive examination, our dentist will evaluate everything about your smile, including assessments of:
At Future Dental Centre, we welcome all health funds patients and provide on-spot claims through HICAPS. And if you are an HCF, NIB or Smile.com.au member, you can receive even more value by visiting our dental practice located at the heart of Moonee Ponds.
We also accept various government schemes and vouchers such as SACM Dental Coverage, CDBS, cohealth vouchers, Monash vouchers, Victorian Emergency Dental Voucher (VEDS) and Victorian General Dental Scheme (VGDS).
Should you require any therapeutic or restorative treatment, we will review all options with you so that you know what choices are available. From there, we’ll formulate a customised treatment plan, which includes the type of procedures, number of appointments and estimated costs involved. Most treatments are scheduled for a later date rather than initiated on the day of your exam (unless it’s an emergency).
Following the exam with our dentist, our oral health therapist or hygienist will then complete the appointment with a professional scale and clean. For subsequent checkups, you can plan to see the therapist or hygienist prior to your periodic dental exam.
As part of your clean, we’ll gently remove soft and calcified buildup across your teeth, then polish away surface stain. If there are any problem areas that require special attention, we’ll share strategies to help keep them clean between checkups.
Finally, we’ll apply fluoride across your teeth to help strengthen enamel, combat tooth decay and manage symptoms of sensitivity.
Periodontal disease is a condition that disrupts the attached tissue around your teeth. When bone structures and gingiva (gums) are compromised, it leads to recession and tooth exposure or mobility. Left untreated, periodontitis can also cause bone and tooth loss.
Screening for gum disease is an essential step in preventing loose teeth. By pinpointing gum pockets early, we can assist you in modifying your oral hygiene routine to prevent future complications. Or in instances where the disease is caught much later, we can plan for a series of periodontal therapy appointments to halt the spread of the infection. Be sure to let us know if you’re experiencing symptoms of sore teeth, bad breath or bleeding gums.
