Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Dentures in Katoomba are time-tested tooth replacements. And most patients are excellent candidates for this type of prosthetic.

We offer various denture options to meet the needs of our patients, including:

• Partial dentures
• Full dentures
• Implant-supported dentures

Your dentist will talk to you more about the options during your initial consultation, as well as whether dentures are a suitable tooth replacement for you. At this first look, we may take x-rays or perform specific exams to ensure your candidacy. We also answer your questions and address any concerns.

In some cases, we may recommend pretreatments. For example, if you’re considering complete dentures, we will have to extract any remaining teeth. If you’re considering a partial denture, your dentist will ensure the integrity of the supporting teeth and may need to remove one or more if they are not healthy enough to support a partial denture.

Full dentures stand in for complete tooth loss. Partials take over only where teeth are missing. Implant-supported dentures rely on four to six dental implants for a stable option.

If you’re considering tooth replacement, we encourage you to arrange a consultation with the dentist. We also recommend looking into our current specials and membership plan for potential savings on your dental care.

The best way to maximise dental health funds is to use them during the calendar year. Your health funds may expire at the end of December, which is why we encourage end-of-the-year dentistry for patients who need treatment.

Additionally, our dental team can help you make the most of your dental care funds annually!

Treatment with Your Katoomba Dentist

Treatment may include regular check-ups and teeth cleans or an evaluation of any oral health changes. For example, you may have a sensitive tooth or loose restoration. You may have damaged your nightguard or suspect bruxism.

No matter the issue, we encourage you to call and arrange a visit with the dentist. We think treating or diagnosing issues early before they cause significant pain or put your oral health at risk is best.

We also urge you to ask questions. If you have an oral health concern, our team is always happy to chat with you.

Do You Need a Dental Appointment in Katoomba, NSW?

If you have concerns about your oral health, dental changes, or broken restorations, we encourage you to contact our dental team to arrange a visit with the dentist today.

We offer an exclusive Membership Plan and periodic specials on treatments and services. Additionally, patients visit us from all locations, including Katoomba, Blue Mountains, Leura, and Wentworth Falls.

Clear aligners, such as ClearCorrect® or Invisalign® in Katoomba, work by gradually moving misaligned teeth into straight positions. In our dental clinic, we use ClearCorrect to fix the following orthodontic issues:

• Crowded, crooked, overlapping, and twisted teeth
• Gaps or unusual spacing between teeth
• Bite misalignment, including the overbite

ClearCorrect is virtually invisible, and you can remove your aligners for oral hygiene and meals.

How ClearCorrect Works

First, you visit our dental clinic for an orthodontic assessment. We’ll determine whether ClearCorrect can address your orthodontic needs. During this visit, we set aside time to answer your questions and address your concerns. We’ll let you know what to expect during treatment and after. A team member will also break down your treatment costs and how long you’ll be in treatment.

Your dentist takes impressions of your teeth and sends the results to ClearCorrect for the fabrication of your aligners. You wear each set in the series according to your dentist’s schedule, usually changing them every few weeks.

Over time, you’ll notice your teeth moving into straighter positions.

After treatment, we provide a retainer to ensure retention.

You Deserve a Straight and Healthy Smile

To book your consultation or if you have questions for our Blue Mountains dentist, we encourage your call on (02) 4782 1507, or you can book online. Remember to ask about our current specials.

We proudly serve all locales in the Blue Mountains area, including Leura and Wentworth Falls.

ClearCorrect® in the Blue Mountains is not better than braces, but it can be an alternative.

Many people prefer ClearCorrect over braces for the following reasons:

• ClearCorrect is a discreet orthodontic system made from clear plastic.
• It may be more comfortable than braces because it doesn't involve metal or wires.
• You can remove your aligners for more productive oral hygiene.
• Removability means no eating restrictions, unlike traditional braces.

Your Katoomba dentist will evaluate your teeth to determine if you are a suitable candidate for ClearCorrect and inform you of the expected duration of aligner wear. Treatment can last for up to two years or longer, with an average of eighteen months. However, the timeframe depends on the complexity of your orthodontic needs.

After Treatment with ClearCorrect

After treatment, we want to ensure your teeth remain in their new positions. To protect your smile from orthodontic relapse, we move you to the retention stage of treatment. This means your Katoomba dentist fits you with a retainer. This clear retainer is essential for achieving long-term orthodontic success. Wear it as instructed by your dentist.

Are You Considering Clear Braces?

To start your journey to an aligned smile, we welcome your call on (02) 4782 1507, or you can book online. We also encourage you to ask about our specials.

Proudly serving Blue Mountains, Wentworth Falls, Leura and your neighbourhood.

The team at Katoomba Dental Centre are always on the lookout for technologies that make dentistry more comfortable for our patients. Your relaxation in the dental chair has always been one of our top priorities.

So, our Katoomba dentists are always thrilled to incorporate new technology that promotes patient comfort, safety, and optimal results.

Painless Anesthesia Delivery

The STA Wand is a computer-guided way to administer anesthesia without you feeling the stinging poke. We’re thrilled to offer this technology because it helps our patients feel more relaxed—no longer anticipating the poke.

3-D Cone Beam

3-D Cone Beam is a digital technology that aids diagnostics but is especially helpful with surgery planning—for example, image-guided dental implant placement.

Digital Scanner

Our digital scanner allows us to take impressions for restorations without using gooey materials in the mouth. In addition, the scanner is small and allows for accurate and comfortable dental impressions.

Laser Dentistry

Laser dentistry is far less invasive than a scalpel and suture surgery. You’ll experience little or no bleeding and a faster recovery time using laser dentistry. Your dentist can use laser dentistry in various capacities, including but not limited to the following:

• Reversal of gummy smiles
• Tooth decay treatment
• Periodontal treatment
• Cosmetic dentistry
• Tongue ties
• Dental implants
• Biopsies

Your Katoomba Dentist Encourages Your Call

Call us to learn more about what we have to offer or arrange a booking in our dental clinic. We serve all areas, including the Blue Mountains. 

Digital dentistry is a safer, more comfortable and environmentally friendly way to provide dental care in Katoomba, NSW.

We Emphasise Patient Safety

Digital imaging emits less radiation, which is always better for our valued patients and the environment.

Patient Comfort Is a Priority

Digital scanning means we can take most impressions (for restorations, prosthetics, and oral appliances) electronically. This technology eliminates the need for gooey impression materials, which are typically uncomfortable.

Digital scanning plays a role in our same-day dental restorations, helping us send digital moulds to our onsite computer and milling machine.

Environmentally Friendly Dentistry in Katoomba

Digital dentistry includes digital records and files. Your Katoomba dentist can store your films on a safe computer for easy access. Additionally, there is no paper, which makes digital records more environmentally friendly.

Digital imaging also means we don’t use chemicals to develop x-ray films, which is far better for the environment. Nothing is toxic because we don’t have to dispose of harsh chemicals.

For More Information, Your Blue Mountains Dentist Encourage Your Call

If you’d like to learn more about digital dentistry, sustainability, treatments and services, we urge you to contact our dental office today. A knowledgeable and friendly team member is happy to chat with you about Katoomba Dental Centre.

Prosthodontics is the area of dentistry that deals with missing or damaged teeth. It is about restoring and replacing these teeth via crowns, prosthetics or other means.

A prosthodontist can place restorations and replace lost teeth, but so can many dentists, including our dentists in Katoomba, NSW.

Prosthodontic Restorations and Tooth Replacement in the Blue Mountains

Restoration can mean many things, including but not limited to the following:

• A dental crown to restore function to a damaged tooth
• A tooth-coloured filling to protect a tooth after cavity treatment
• A dental veneer to conceal a crack or chip in the tooth

Tooth replacement may mean:

• A dental bridge
• A complete denture
• A partial denture
• An implant-supported denture
• All-on-4
• Single dental implants

When restoring and replacing missing teeth, your dentist will consult with you. This helps you choose the most suitable options for your needs and goals.

As of this writing, we are offering free dental implant consultations in Katoomba, NSW. This is a fantastic opportunity to learn more about dental implants and how they can replace your lost teeth.

Are You Considering Restorative or Tooth Replacement Dentistry?

If you want to learn more or are ready to arrange a consultation, a team member is happy to get you started today.

Our Katoomba dentists care about the planet and strongly emphasise community, which is why we practice sustainability whenever possible.

We have partnered with TerraCycle to help local businesses with their recycling. TerraCycle allows businesses from all locales to recycle by designating specific businesses as labelling and shipping hubs. For example, neighbourhood businesses can drop off their recycling at a select business, allowing all items to be labelled and shipped in one go or from one place. We work with businesses such as Blue Mountains Food Co-op.

Aside from supporting the efforts of others, we also practice sustainability in our Katoomba dental clinic. For example, we use digital imaging and file storage to reduce our paper footprint. Digital imaging and storage also eliminate the need for chemical developers, which can harm the environment.

Our in-house milling machine also means we can create specific restorations in our dental practice. This reduces shipping waste and fuel use.

Katoomba Dental Centre is always on the lookout for new ways we can reduce our footprint whilst providing patient-focused dental care.

We Encourage You to Talk to Your Katoomba Dentist

If you have questions about our treatments, services or recycling practices, we urge you to contact a friendly dental team member today to learn more.

Serving all locales, including the Blue Mountains.

We customise your preventive dentistry schedule, but usually, we recommend seeing the dentist once or twice yearly for dental check-ups and teeth cleans. However, if you’ve already seen the dentist and it’s nearing the end of the year, we recommend booking an appointment if you have any of the following issues:

• Broken or loose-fitting restoration
• Damaged tooth
• Damaged prosthetic or splint
• Oral health concerns like tooth sensitivity
• Oral health changes, including sores that don’t heal

In other words, if you have concerns, we want to help. So, the best time to visit the dentist—aside from preventive checks and cleans—is when you have a concern. Additionally, if it’s nearing the end of the year, we suggest sorting out dental health issues before your health fund expires. It’s a way to ensure you receive the benefits you’re entitled to.

Dental Care in Katoomba, NSW

We offer general dentistry and advanced services like cosmetic dentistry, TMJ therapy, and bruxism treatment. Your dentist is also here to help you through dental emergencies and sudden oral health issues.

We Encourage You to Contact Your Katoomba Dentist

If you have concerns or new oral health issues, a dental team member is standing by to speak with you today. Also, ask about our current specials and exclusive Membership Plan.

People visit our dentists from multiple locations, including Leura, Wentworth Falls, Blue Mountains, Katoomba, and your neighbourhood.

Our Katoomba dentists (and most dentists) recommend dental implants above other tooth replacement options. There are many reasons for this:

• Dental implants are most like natural teeth because they replace the entire anatomy of your lost tooth, including the valuable root.
• Dental implants are strong and lasting, allowing you to enjoy your meals and add new and exciting foods to your diet.
• They are easy to take care of and require only what your natural teeth require—brushing, flossing, check-ups and teeth cleans.
• Because dental implants are a fixed restoration, you may feel more secure when smiling and laughing with family members and your best mates.
• Finally, dental implants are versatile, offering everything from single implants to All-on-4 and implant-supported dentures.

However, the first step is learning whether implant dentistry is suitable for you. To make this determination, your dental implant dentist has you in for a consultation. And at the time of this writing, we are offering free dental implant consultations in Katoomba!

Our free dental implant consultation is a no-obligation chat and check with the dentist. This visit will let you know whether you’re a suitable candidate for implant dentistry.  

We Invite You to Reach Out to Your Katoomba Dentist for More Information

If you want to learn more, including whether you’re a candidate for implant dentistry, we encourage your call.

Our dentists serve many locations, including Katoomba, Blue Mountains, Yosemite, Leura and your area.

The cost of dental implants in Katoomba varies for a few reasons, including:

• The complexity of the case—Some implants require bone grafting, sinus lifts or other pretreatments, impacting cost.
• The number of implants—We offer All-on-4, implant-supported prosthetics like dentures and single implants at various price points.

Fortunately, we offer a free consultation for dental implants. At this visit, you’ll learn whether you’re suitable for dental implants and how much it will cost to restore your smile. Your dentist will go over the options as well.

Single Dental Implants for Tooth Replacement

This option means a single replacement tooth root capped with a dental crown.

All-on-4 for a Full Smile

For this option, we rely on a low-profile prosthetic of restoring teeth to complete your smile. Typically, this means a full set of teeth secured with four dental implants.

Implant-Supported Prosthetics for a Secure Denture and Bridge

Implant-supported prosthetics can mean dentures or bridges secured with dental implants.

Are You Considering Dental Implants in Katoomba?

If you would like to learn more about our dental implant options, including whether you’re a suitable candidate for implant technology, we encourage you to reach out today to arrange your free consultation with a dental implant dentist.

Dental implant patients come to our dental clinic from all areas, including Katoomba, Blue Mountains, Yosemite, Leura and your locale.

All-on-4 is a way for your Blue Mountains dentist to utilise implant dentistry even if you have complete tooth loss.

Many believe that complete tooth loss puts implant dentistry (and all its benefits) out of reach. However, with All-on-4, we can combine the practicality of prosthetics with the oral health and functional benefits of dental implants.

All-on-4 means attaching an entire arch of restoration teeth to the jaw using four dental implant posts. These strong posts act as replacement roots, bonding with bone and promoting optimal function and aesthetics.

With All-on-4, you’ll be able to diversify your diet and not worry about a removable prosthetic that can move or shift when you speak or laugh.

It all starts with a visit to our implant dentist. At this visit, we can determine whether all-on-4 will work to restore your smile or if any pretreatments are in order. We also encourage your questions as we discuss your new smile. And we’ll let you know about the cost before arranging your implant surgery.

For All-on-4 Dental Implants in Katoomba, We Encourage You to Contact Us

We are always happy to help our patients reclaim their smiles and oral health through tooth replacement. So if you’re ready to arrange your consultation in our dental clinic, we are happy to get you started today. And check out our specials page for exclusive dental savings. 

When you think of dental implants in Katoomba, you probably imagine a single tooth replacement, but we offer additional options in our dental clinic.

These options make implant dentistry accessible to patients with every level of tooth loss.

Single Dental Implants

Single dental implants are just what you might expect: a tooth root replacement surgically inserted into the gum. This new root is made of solid titanium, and it integrates into the bone. Then, we top your implant with a replacement tooth when the integration process finishes.

Implant-Supported Dentures

This option works for complete tooth loss, and the process is similar to single implant placement. We rely on four to six implants with implant-supported dentures to secure your prosthetic. As a result, you’ll never again have to worry about relines or a loosening denture.

All-on-4

All-on-4 is ideal for patients who do not want to wear dentures. This is a lower-profile arch of replacement teeth secured with four dental implants.

Is Implant Dentistry Right for You?

We encourage you to book a consultation with our implant dentist to determine whether implant dentistry is a smart choice for your tooth loss. In some cases, pretreatments may be in order to make you a better candidate.

For Dental Implants in Blue Mountains, We Encourage Your Call

We invite you to reach out today to learn more about implant dentistry and how it can work for you.

• Implant dentures are secured to the jaw using four or more dental implant roots.
• All-on-4® is a low-profile arch of replacement teeth fixed to the jaw using four dental implant roots.

They are similar but slightly different. Your Blue Mountains implant dentist will help you choose the best option for your tooth replacement.

Considerations for implant prosthetics include jawbone density, sinus placement, and general health. Sometimes, you’re an immediate implant candidate, not suitable for implants at all, or you need pretreatments to make them a reality.

We can only determine your candidacy through a comprehensive evaluation in our dental clinic. This visit also reveals your final costs, and we answer any questions you might have about implant dentistry.

Why Most Dentists Recommend Implants Over Other Options

• Long-Term Solution: Implants can last for decades and even a lifetime.
• Easy Upkeep: With dental implants, you don’t have to add oral hygiene steps or purchase special products.
• Superior Function: Dental implants function just like natural teeth.
• Oral Health Benefits: Implants offer jawbone support and guard against tooth shifting.

Your Implant Dentist in Katoomba Awaits Your Call

Are you ready to book a consultation? Do you have questions? We encourage you to call our dental clinic today on  (02) 4782 1507. Remember to ask about our specials.

While dental implants are a popular choice for replacing missing teeth, some patients want or need a non-surgical option due to medical complications, or simply personal preference. 

At Katoomba Dental Centre, we offer non-surgical ways to replace missing teeth to meet all of our patients’ needs. 

Dental bridges — Dental bridges use the stability of adjacent teeth to support a prosthetic to fill the gap in your smile. 

Partial dentures — Partial dentures are a removable option to replace multiple missing teeth. Small clasps attach to the remaining natural teeth to hold the denture in place.

Complete dentures — Traditional removable dentures have been replacing teeth for centuries. But today’s dentures are not like the bulky, boxy ones your grandparents wore. Today’s dentures look more natural. We offer a variety of teeth shades and shapes to complement your facial features, and dentures in our Katoomba dental clinic are lighter weight and more comfortable than the old-fashioned dentures of decades ago.

Say Goodbye to Missing Teeth!

To learn more about all of your options to replace missing teeth, including bridges, partial dentures and full dentures, we welcome you to get in touch with our Katoomba dental clinic on (02) 4782 1507 to arrange a booking with one of our skilled and gentle dentists. 

Are you considering dentures in Katoomba?

Replacing missing teeth with a prosthetic is an excellent decision. With tooth replacement, you restore your bite and your smile.

At Katoomba Dental Centre, we offer three denture types to meet your needs and always pay close attention to the details. We want you to enjoy a modern and natural-looking prosthetic that functions as intended.

Our options include:

• Partial dentures
• Complete dentures
• Implant-retained dentures

The process includes a consultation where we decide your candidacy for dentures. We will also answer your questions.

If you decide to move forward with this option, we take impressions, so a trusted lab can create your denture. We then make final adjustments to the finished prosthetic to ensure proper fit. All along, you make choices for tooth and gum colour.

Implant-supported dentures work a little differently and are designed for exceptional stability.

For Dentures in Katoomba, We Welcome Your Call

Dentures are an excellent tooth replacement option, especially today when modern materials and techniques have made them functional and more natural looking.

If you’re considering dentures, we encourage you to reach out to a team member to arrange your consultation with one of our dentists. We also suggest looking into our current specials and membership plan for possible savings and discounts on your dental care.

Our dentists serve many locations, including Katoomba, Blue Mountains, Yosemite, Leura and your area.

The team at Katoomba Dental Centre know how frustrating tooth loss can be. It can change your diet, speech and even influence your oral health. Tooth loss can also make smiling and laughing emotionally tricky.

Many patients with complete tooth loss turn to removable dentures as a practical tooth replacement option.

Of course, removable dentures are a good solution for tooth loss, but there are drawbacks, including slippage, rocking, and the eventual need for adhesives and in-clinic or laboratory relines.

The good news is that your dentist in Katoomba can combine dentures with dental implant technology to create a stable prosthetic that restores function whilst eliminating denture drawbacks.

For implant-supported dentures, we typically rely on four to six implants to secure your denture to your jaw. This is a straightforward undertaking performed under anesthesia. However, if you’re feeling particularly nervous, ask our implant dentist about sedation dentistry options and how they can help you feel more at ease.

Would You Like More Information about Implant-Supported Dentures in Katoomba?

Your Katoomba dentists want nothing to stand in the way of your dental care and healthy smile. This is one of the top reasons we offer sedation dentistry. As a bonus, we also provide a virtually painless anesthesia delivery.

Patients opt for sedation for a variety of reasons:

• Fear and anxiety about dental work
• Multiple treatments during a single visit
• A strong gag reflex

We encourage you to talk to us about your sedation needs, no matter your reasons.

Three Levels of Dental Sedation in Katoomba

Our sedation starts with nitrous oxide, a safe relaxant delivered in gas form through a nasal mask. This medication produces feelings of detachment and ease. Sometimes it is called laughing gas. There are no lingering effects with this option, and you can drive yourself home.

We also offer oral sedation, which is a pill taken before treatment. Some patients who choose oral sedation do not remember portions of their treatment. With this option, you’ll need transportation.

IV Sedation is delivered intravenously and may be a bit more potent than oral sedation. Unfortunately, this option also means you’ll need transport home from our dental clinic.

Ready to Learn More about Sedation Dentistry?

We urge you to reach out to a team member today for more information or to arrange a sedation consultation.

Dental anxiety is common among many people, but our team can help. Besides providing gentle dentistry in a relaxing environment, we also offer three levels of dental sedation in Katoomba, including combination options, to fit your needs.

For most options, we take a health history or rely on a recent history on file. We also ask questions to assess whether sedation dentistry is a suitable option for you. We want you to feel relaxed but always ensure your safety.

Our sedation dentistry options include:

• Nitrous oxide
• Oral sedation
• IV sedation (when available)

Nitrous oxide is a relaxing gas administered through a nasal mask. It has no lingering effects and produces feelings of melancholy and detachment.

Oral sedation is a pill given before treatment. With this option, you may not remember your time in the dental chair but can still respond to your dentist. You’ll need transportation with this method.

IV sedation is medication delivered through an IV. It’s more potent than nitrous and oral sedation.

We Encourage You to Contact Your Katoomba Dentist

We invite you to reach out today to learn more about implant dentistry and how it can work for you.

Dental implants offer exclusive oral health benefits not found in other tooth replacement options.

For example:

• Dental implants are long-lasting and can remain viable for decades and even a lifetime.
• Dental implants guard against jawbone loss and are the only option that offers this benefit.
• Dental implants prevent tooth migration, throwing off your bite and leading to further tooth loss.
• Dental implants require no additional maintenance or upkeep. Visit your dentist regularly, and don’t skip brushing and flossing.
• Dental implants restore your chewing force, so there are no eating restrictions.
• Dental implants never shift or tilt, which can be embarrassing when out with friends.
• Dental implants don’t develop the pain points and irritation sometimes found in dentures.

Are You a Candidate for Dental Implants?

We start by having you visit our dental implant dentist in Katoomba. This visit is the discovery phase of implantology. We learn whether you’re a candidate by assessing your jawbone integrity, sinus placement and more. The dentist may deem you an instant candidate, but in some cases, you’ll require pretreatments to make implants a reality.

Pretreatments may include extractions for implant dentures or bone grafting to shore up the jawbone. Your dentist will tell you what to expect and how much treatment will cost.

Dentists recommend dental crowns for various reasons, and some patients choose crowns as part of their cosmetic makeover.

If your dentist recommends a dental crown, here are a few reasons why:

• You have a weak or treated tooth in need of stability.
• You have deep tooth decay (treated) that puts the tooth at risk for breakage.
• You have a short tooth that is compromising your bite.
• You need a single dental implant, which includes a crown.
• You need a dental bridge with accompanying crowns.

Dental crowns can also hide cosmetic issues, including chips, cracks, discolouration, shape abnormalities and more.

The Dental Crown Process

For general tooth crowning, we start with an assessment of the tooth. Then, we shape the tooth, take impressions and provide a temporary restoration until your custom tooth crown is ready for placement.

Before your Katoomba dentist secures the crown, we ensure the colour and shape match your teeth. We also evaluate the function of your new restoration.

For Crowns and Bridges, We Welcome Your Call

If you need a dental crown in Katoomba, we encourage you to contact our dental team to book an evaluation with the dentist.

We work with ZipPay financing and proudly serve all neighbourhoods, including Blue Mountains, Wentworth Falls and Leura.

When you think of dental implants in Katoomba, you probably imagine a single tooth replacement, but we offer additional options in our dental clinic.

These options make implant dentistry accessible to patients with every level of tooth loss.

Single Dental Implants

Single dental implants are just what you might expect: a tooth root replacement surgically inserted into the gum. This new root is made of solid titanium, and it integrates into the bone. Then, we top your implant with a replacement tooth when the integration process finishes.

Implant-Supported Dentures

This option works for complete tooth loss, and the process is similar to single implant placement. We rely on four to six implants with implant-supported dentures to secure your prosthetic. As a result, you’ll never again have to worry about relines or a loosening denture.

All-on-4

All-on-4 is ideal for patients who do not want to wear dentures. This is a lower-profile arch of replacement teeth secured with four dental implants.

Is Implant Dentistry Right for You?

We encourage you to book a consultation with our implant dentist to determine whether implant dentistry is a smart choice for your tooth loss. In some cases, pretreatments may be in order to make you a better candidate.

For Dental Implants in Blue Mountains, We Encourage Your Call

We invite you to reach out today to learn more about implant dentistry and how it can work for you.

There are a number of ways to treat gaps in your smile, but your options will depend on the size of your gaps and the desired aesthetic results.

Invisible braces—Invisible braces, such as Invisalign, can fix a number of problems with your smile, including gapped or misaligned teeth. Treatment is quicker than with traditional braces, with most patients getting their desired results in time periods between six and 18 months.

For those patients who do not want to undergo orthodontic treatment, we offer:

Tooth bonding—If the gaps between your teeth are minor, tooth bonding might be able to give you the results you desire, and treatment can usually be provided in just one visit. Using the same material that is used for tooth-coloured fillings, the tooth-coloured resin material is bonded to the teeth using adhesives and a high-intensity curing light.

Dental veneers—These ultra-thin, translucent tooth covers camouflage a variety of problems with your smile, including teeth that are gapped, chipped, unevenly spaced or sized differently. Treatment of your natural teeth is required before application, so this is a permanent cosmetic option.

Dental implants— A single tooth implant can help close of that cap in your smile and provide a long term solution to your missing tooth/teeth. With implants we have a variety of options to replace multiple or single missing teeth giving you back your smile.

For more information about fixing gaps in your smile with cosmetic dentistry, we invite you to call our Katoomba, NSW dental surgery to book a consult.

Veneers used to be exclusive to celebrities, but no longer! Today, you can enjoy a beautiful, symmetrical smile with these popular cosmetic restorations.

And, yes, porcelain veneers must be considered permanent because your dentist removes a bit of tooth enamel to secure the restoration to the tooth. We remove this enamel to ensure the porcelain veneer does not appear bulky or unnatural compared with your untreated teeth.

Enamel removal means the tooth must remain covered for life to prevent decay and fractures. Without coverage, the treated tooth will be at risk.

About Porcelain Veneers in Katoomba, NSW

Porcelain veneers are thin strips or shells of quality porcelain fixed to the surfaces of the forward-facing teeth. They can correct or conceal a variety of cosmetic issues, including the following:

• Short or worn-down teeth
• Gummy appearing smiles
• Unusual spacing
• Slightly misaligned teeth
• Tooth discolouration
• Tooth chips and cracks
• General tooth flaws

With veneers, you can enjoy smile symmetry and achieve the look you’ve always wanted.

However, the first step is a consultation with our cosmetic dentist.

Are You Considering Porcelain Veneers in Katoomba, NSW?

To learn more about our cosmetic dentistry options, including porcelain veneers, we welcome your call. Also, a team member is standing by if you’re ready to book your cosmetic consultation today.

A smile makeover means we combine cosmetic dental treatments to address multiple issues. We may also discuss general dentistry treatments to prepare you for a smile makeover in Katoomba. This can include treating undiagnosed cavities and addressing issues like gingivitis.

Your dentist will assess your teeth and gums to determine what’s possible with combined cosmetic dentistry options. You may require pretreatments to become a candidate for certain cosmetic dentistry options.

Our Cosmetic Dentistry Options in Katoomba

• Dental veneers
• Dental bonding
• Professional teeth whitening
• Dental implants
• Tooth-coloured restorations

Your Consultation with the Dentist

We carefully examine your teeth and gums before proceeding with cosmetic dentistry. We also want to learn what you’d like to achieve through aesthetic dentistry. We determine costs and can provide cosmetic treatments on a timeline that works for you, considering your time and budget.

Muscle relaxants can help patients with paralysed muscles in the face which leads to an asymmetrical smile. By relaxing the same muscle on the opposite side, a symmetrical or ‘softer’ appearance can be achieved.

There are many cosmetic dentistry options available today that can enhance the look of your smile.

• Invisalign clear braces—If your teeth are not aligned properly, you can get invisible braces to straighten them. Using clear plastic aligners, Invisalign treatment only takes on average about six to 18 months to straighten teeth.
• Porcelain veneers—If you are looking for more dramatic results, porcelain veneers can cover up many unattractive issues with your smile, including discolouration, gaps between teeth, fractures and chips, misalignment and size discrepancies. Many celebrity smiles you admire have likely been improved with porcelain veneers.
• Dental implants—If you are missing teeth, you can get one or more dental implant to restore your smile. Because they integrate into the jawbone, implants are permanent tooth replacements that also protect your bone health. Dental implants function most like your natural teeth. If you have dentures, you can get implant supported dentures to stabilize them for a more natural, comfortable experience.

You don’t have to go through life with a smile you are not happy about. Once thought reserved for the rich and famous, cosmetic dentistry today is more affordable and accessible than ever. Call our Katoomba, NSW surgery for more information on cosmetic dentistry.

We can incorporate tooth replacement into your smile makeover if you have missing teeth!

A smile makeover in Katoomba may include any of the following cosmetic dentistry options:

• Professional teeth whitening
• Dental veneers
• Tooth replacement
• Dental bonding
• Tooth-coloured restorations

Cosmetic dentistry can address the following issues:

• Slightly crooked teeth
• Missing teeth
• Discoloured teeth
• Gummy smiles
• Short and worn teeth
• General imperfections

With a smile makeover, your dentist carefully plans treatment to address your aesthetic concerns, using a timeline that works for your smile, budget and goals.

For example, we may start with a teeth cleaning and whitening, which allows you to choose lighter restorations, prosthetics or dental implant crowns.

Your Smile Makeover Consultation Is the First Step

Your consultation outlines the options and allows you to share your goals with the dentist. When it comes to smile makeovers, it’s all about you and what you hope to achieve. Your dentist will then determine your candidacy, and we’ll discuss costs and the timeframe.

Smile makeovers improve aesthetics, but some options, such as tooth replacement, promote better oral health.

Smile Makeovers in Katoomba

For more information or to book a consultation with the dentist, we encourage you to call (02) 4782 1507 today. We also urge you to talk to us about financing options.

Cosmetic dentistry has the reputation of being expensive and accessible to only the wealthy. What many people don’t know is that many cosmetic treatments at Katoomba Dental Centre are affordable for nearly any budget.

Take-Home Teeth Whitening in Katoomba

One of the most popular and affordable cosmetic dental treatments is professional teeth whitening. While many kits are available online and in shops, people most often find that professional teeth whitening provides superior results. Additionally, teeth whitening under the supervision of a dentist can help you avoid common side effects like sensitivity or gum irritation.

If you want a whiter smile in one day, we have an in-chair teeth whitening special for fast results.

Affordable Dental Bonding

Tooth veneers get all of the glory because they can instantly transform a smile. Dental bonding, however, is a more affordable option to make smaller repairs and improvements to teeth. Dental bonding can address the following cosmetic issues:

• Chipped or misshapen teeth
• Minor smile gaps
• Certain types of discolouration

Typically, dental bonding can be completed in a single appointment and is particularly effective for people with minor cosmetic issues. 

We use the same high-quality resin for dental bonding that we use for tooth-coloured fillings. To learn more about our current specials or to arrange an appointment, contact Katoomba Dental Centre on (02) 4782 1507.

Teeth whitening may be an excellent way to enhance your smile quickly. It is non-invasive and can be completed safely under the directions of your Katoomba dentist.

However, if you purchase a kit online, we can’t guarantee that the ingredients are safe for your teeth and gums. Some components can be harsh and abrasive. As a result, you can end up with tooth sensitivity or uneven and disappointing results.

Our dental office offers two options—in-chair teeth whitening with Zoom! and a special take-home kit customised to fit your teeth.

The in-chair option typically means faster results and is ideal if you have an event soon.

Our take-home option allows you to whiten your smile at your convenience. You can also touch up your teeth periodically, provided you follow the instructions given by our dental team.

We first bring you into our dental clinic for a consultation—especially if you are a new patient—to make sure whitening is safe for your smile. Then, your dentist will talk to you about what to expect following treatment.

Are You Considering Professional Teeth Whitening in Katoomba?

Teeth whitening can be used alone or as part of a smile makeover. We anticipate your call if you want to learn more or are ready to arrange a consultation.

Dental veneers in Katoomba are thin but strong strips of porcelain secured to the fronts of teeth.

The process involves removing a bit of tooth enamel for a flushed and natural-looking finish. Because of this enamel removal, we consider veneers permanent, meaning if you damage a veneer, it should be replaced to protect your tooth.

Dental veneers are a patient favourite because they can conceal many types of tooth flaws, including:

• Gummy smiles
• Slightly misaligned teeth
• Discolouration
• Tooth gaps or uneven spacing
• Worn-down teeth

With dental veneers, you can choose one veneer or many, depending on your specific smile goals.

Veneer care is simple because they brush and floss them along with your natural teeth. However, it’s also essential to visit your Katoomba dentist regularly for dental check-ups and professional teeth cleans.

Your veneers may last for many years with proper care and healthy habits. Your dentist will provide specific tips and advice based on your unique case.

For Dental Veneers in Katoomba, We Welcome Your Call

Sometimes, deep tooth infections, failed root canal treatment and oral injuries mean a tooth cannot be saved with traditional treatment and crowning. However, seeing our emergency dentist at the first signs of oral health changes, such as pain, swelling and tooth injury may increase the odds for successful treatment.

For these reasons, we’re pleased to offer emergency dental care!

If We Can’t Save Your Tooth, We'll Discuss Replacement

To stabilise your bite and keep your oral function on track, the dentist will recommend replacement if your tooth can’t be saved.

For a single missing tooth, we offer:

• Partial Dentures
• Dental Bridges
• A Dental Implant

For significant tooth loss, we will discuss complete dentures and implant-supported dentures in the Blue Mountains area.

First, we’ll assess you to determine candidacy because some tooth replacement options may work better for you than others. Your dentist also considers your budget and lifestyle when helping you choose.

Do You Need an Emergency Dentist in Katoomba, NSW?

If you have a damaged tooth, tooth pain, swelling or other symptoms, we encourage you to contact our dental team to book an emergency visit with the dentist as soon as possible.

We work with ZipPay and offer periodic specials to help patients budget their dental care.

There are many types of dental emergencies, from infections to tooth trauma. Fortunately, you can lower your risks for the most common emergencies.

#1 Visit Your Katoomba Dentist on Schedule

Regular dental care is the best way to avoid common dental emergencies like oral infections and advanced tooth decay. Preventive check-ups mean early diagnosis, and teeth cleans in Katoomba removes built-up plaque, tartar and bacteria. The latter ingredients lead to oral health complications like tooth infections, decay and even gum disease.

#2 Don't Skip Brushing and Flossing Sessions at Home

Regular dental care combined with brushing and flossing sessions work together and may significantly improve the odds that you don't develop a toothache or other oral health issues.

#3 Wear the Proper Oral Appliance

You should have a fitted mouthguard to protect your smile if you're an athlete. And if you grind your teeth, a nightguard helps lower your risks of sudden tooth breakage and increased cavities.

To Learn More about Emergency Dentistry in Katoomba, We Welcome Your Call

Reach out today to arrange a prompt emergency dental appointment. And after you've been assessed and treated, a team member can talk to you about our current specials and membership plan.
We serve all locales, including Blue Mountains, Leura, Wentworth Falls, and your neighbourhood.

The most common emergencies we see are oral infections of the tooth. These infections are often in the tooth root and require root canal therapy to eliminate pain and swelling and restore the tooth to health.

Other common dental emergencies in Katoomba include:

• Broken/lost tooth, restoration, or prosthetic
• Object lodged in the oral tissue or between teeth
• Deep decay that causes oral pain and swelling

Sometimes, you may be unsure whether your situation is a dental emergency. However, if you have pain or an oral health change that does not improve, it is best to contact your Katoomba dentist. A team member can talk to you about your symptoms and provide the correct advice going forward.

Of course, you may be able to lower your risks for dental emergencies by visiting your dentist regularly for checkups and teeth cleans and by implementing an excellent oral care routine daily.

Have a Dental Emergency in Katoomba? We Want to Help

If you have a dental emergency or suspect something may be wrong, we strongly encourage you to reach out to our dental team as soon as possible. We also invite you to check out our website to learn more about our current dental specials and exclusive membership plan.

Our patients come from all areas, including Katoomba, the Blue Mountains, Leura, and Yosemite.

We have many options for restorative dentistry in Katoomba, NSW. Your dentist will gauge the severity of your chip or tooth fracture and make the best determination on ways to restore it.

For minor chips, your dentist may talk to you about dental bonding. This is a fast and easy way to conceal the chip without invasive treatment. Bonding is made from tooth-coloured filling material, which we spread across the chip. Your dentist then shapes it to blend in and sets it with a special light.

For more significant tooth cracks and fractures, your dentist may recommend a dental crown. The crown is a tooth-shaped cap cemented over the damaged tooth. It fits to the gumline and restores your bite force while protecting the tooth underneath. Your dental crown is custom crafted to look like your untreated teeth, down to the colour!

If you have a severe break below the gum line, we typically recommend a complete extraction followed by tooth replacement. We offer various tooth replacements, including dental implants.

For Restorative Dentistry, We Encourage You to Contact Your Katoomba Dentist

Reach out today to get started and to learn more about our current dental specials and exclusive membership plan.

Our patients reside in multiple locations, including Katoomba, the Blue Mountains, Leura, and Yosemite.

This type of oral infection is typically painful and puts your surrounding teeth at risk. For these reasons, we consider root canal treatment a dental emergency in Katoomba, NSW.

In rare cases, you may not have pain because the nerve is no longer conductive. However, if you notice swelling and a blister on the gum, you likely have an infected tooth and should call our dental clinic as soon as possible.

Of course, some dental health issues can present with the same symptoms, so getting an assessment in our dental clinic is crucial.

Stabilisation and Root Canal Treatment

We provide gentle root canal therapy in Katoomba. First, we numb the treatment site and extract the infected or inflamed pulp. Your dentist seals the tooth after rinsing the canal to prevent reinfection. These steps save the tooth and relieve the pain and swelling, fully stabilizing your dental emergency.

At a future dental visit, we crown the tooth to restore the structure and prevent future breakage.

Do You Have a Toothache or Potential Dental Emergency?

If you’re unsure whether your oral health issue is an emergency, we encourage you to contact a helpful dental team member to discuss the symptoms. We can help determine the urgency of your situation.  

If you have a dental emergency in Katoomba, rest assured our team will handle it with gentle hands and sensitivity. We understand that dental emergencies can be frightening and will always work to eliminate your pain as soon as possible.

Regarding the emergency treatment, it depends on the nature of your issue. For example, a tooth root infection requires root canal therapy. This procedure gets rid of the pain and eliminates swelling.

For a root canal treatment, your dentist numbs the treatment area and extracts the infection from the tooth’s canal. Then we close it temporarily with a rubber-like filling material. At a future appointment, we typically finish with a dental crown to reestablish stability to the tooth.

Other dental emergencies can mean repairing a crown or re-setting an avulsed tooth into the gum. As your dentist treats your emergency, we can talk to you about what we’re doing and what to expect. If there are multiple options for treatment, we’ll talk to you about those as well.

Toothaches happen for a variety of reasons. In some cases, they may not even be dental-related. For example, a toothache in the upper jaw can be associated with a sinus infection or sinus pressure.

However, most of the toothaches we see result from:

• Tooth Root Infections
• Deep Tooth Decay
• Tooth Injury
• Gum Recession

Toothaches: The Common Culprits

• Tooth Root Infections: This means you have an infection in the pulp chamber of your tooth. You may also notice swelling and tooth discolouration.
• Deep Tooth Decay: Advanced and deep cavities can cause extreme tooth sensitivity and pain.
• Tooth Injury: A tooth injury can disrupt blood flow and leave your tooth at risk for an infection or loss.
• Gum Recession. Gum recession can lead to root exposure, which means tooth pain.

At Katoomba Dental Centre, we consider pain a dental emergency and want to hear from you as soon as possible.

The goal of emergency dentistry is to ease your pain and restore your oral health.

If you’ve gently bumped your tooth and there is no injury, the mild pain may go away on its own. However, most toothaches, including those that start suddenly or worsen throughout the day, typically do not go away without intervention from your dentist.

At Katoomba Dental Centre, we consider toothaches dental emergencies. Anytime you have pain or swelling, we encourage you to contact our dental clinic to arrange a visit with our emergency dentist.

Your Emergency Dentist in Katoomba

We set aside time to see patients with dental emergencies, including toothaches. A toothache may indicate a root canal infection, deep tooth decay, or injury. You should seek treatment as soon as possible to prevent tooth loss, worsening pain or the spread of infection and decay.

To lower your risks for toothache-related dental emergencies, visit your dentist regularly for checks and cleans, brush and floss at least twice daily and report concerns to your dentist promptly.

We encourage you to ask a team member about our current specials and membership program.

Tooth extractions may be straightforward or surgical. Your Katoomba dentist will evaluate the tooth, take x-rays, and then determine whether it’s a complex or simple tooth extraction.

Healing from extraction does not take long. However, healing may take longer if it’s a surgical extraction—for example, an impacted wisdom tooth. On average, you may notice mild soreness and swelling for a few days after extraction or as long as one week. A shop-bought pain reliever is typically sufficient to ease any pain.

Tips for Healing After a Tooth Extraction in Katoomba

• Follow your dentist’s aftercare instructions.
• Avoid drinking through a straw or smoking for a few days post-extraction.
• Keep the head elevated for multiple or surgical extractions.
• Wait a few days before chewing on the extraction site.
• For a few days, try a soft foods diet—yogurt, soup, scrambled eggs, mashed veggies.
• When rinsing the mouth, do not spit. Instead, let the water drain into the basin.
• Use sterile gauze to staunch any minor blood flow, biting gently.
• Call our office if you have concerns.

Gentle Tooth Extractions in Katoomba, NSW

If you have questions about our treatments and services or would like to book a consultation, a dental team member will take your call today.

Your wisdom teeth typically erupt during the late teens or early twenties. They are located at the back of the mouth (four teeth or less) and serve no useful purpose. So, if these teeth cause problems, it is usually better to consider wisdom tooth extraction in Katoomba.

In many cases, wisdom teeth only partially erupt, leaving the gum open to bacteria and infection. Sometimes these teeth don’t have room on the jaw to come through, so they push and encroach on adjacent teeth, which can be painful.

Your Katoomba dentist can talk to you about extraction if you have problematic wisdom teeth. Wisdom tooth extraction can be straightforward or surgical, depending on complexity. But in either case, your dentist will ensure the area is numb before starting work. We can also talk to you about sedation dentistry options for ultimate relaxation.

After extraction, we provide aftercare instructions to promote faster healing and easy recovery.   

Do You Have Troublesome or Painful Wisdom Teeth?

If you notice pain or partially erupted teeth at the end of the gum—upper or lower—we encourage you to contact your Katoomba dentist for an evaluation. We rely on image-guided technology and a gentle touch to provide a more straightforward treatment for you.

Tooth extraction is a relatively standard dental procedure, and your Katoomba dentist recommends it for various reasons.

If a tooth is fractured and damaged below the gumline, the dentist may recommend extraction if we cannot save it with a dental crown. However, in this case, we can talk to you about replacing the tooth to restore your smile and prevent tooth migration.

For patients seeking dentures, extraction is sometimes part of it, especially if some teeth remain and are not healthy enough to support a partial denture.

We may also recommend extractions before orthodontics if the jaw is not large enough to accommodate a full mouth of aligned teeth.

Additionally, our dentists provide wisdom teeth extractions in Katoomba. Wisdom teeth should erupt several years after your final adult teeth. But sometimes, one or more of these teeth don’t have room to come in correctly. They push on adjacent teeth and only partially come through the gum. This can be painful and even leave you vulnerable to oral infection.

Fortunately, you don’t need these teeth, and your dentist can plan for their extraction if necessary.

Gentle Tooth Extractions in Katoomba

We encourage your call if you would like more information about tooth extraction or other treatments we provide at Katoomba Dental Centre.

Katoomba dentists recommend tooth extractions for a few reasons, including deep decay and damage or as a precursor to orthodontics or cosmetic dentistry. We may also talk to you about extraction if you have partially erupted wisdom teeth that are causing oral health concerns.

Simple vs. Surgical Extractions

Some dental extractions are simple, requiring local anesthesia and a quick pull. Others are more complicated, especially where there is nerve involvement, overlapping roots, or partial eruption. In these cases, we consider you for surgical extraction.

We have a lot of experience with complex extractions, but if the need arises, we work with several specialists who can treat your case. However, most of the time, our dentists can gently remove the tooth without a referral.

We use local anaesthesia for extractions, but we can also talk to you about sedation dentistry for surgical, dental extractions in Katoomba.

For Dental Extractions in Katoomba, We Are Here for You

If you have a damaged or broken tooth, we can evaluate it for extraction or repair. We can also discuss problematic wisdom teeth and whether they should be removed.

We offer a dental membership plan and periodic dental specials. Additionally, we serve all areas, including Katoomba, Leura, the Blue Mountains, Yosemite, Wentworth and your location.

Tooth extraction is a painless procedure that is sometimes necessary to keep your oral health in check. Sometimes, if it’s not a wisdom tooth or planned extraction for orthodontics, your Katoomba dentist will recommend tooth replacement.

Depending on the x-ray findings, extractions may be surgical or straightforward. For example, an impacted wisdom tooth that is encroaching on neighbouring teeth and roots is considered a surgical extraction.

No matter the extraction type, we use local anaesthesia to ensure a numbed treatment site and offer sedation dentistry. After the medication wears off, you may notice mild soreness, which you can treat with an over-the-counter pain reliever.

Reasons You May Need Tooth Extraction

• Damaged or Deeply Decayed Tooth — Your dentist will recommend tooth replacement in this case.
• Post Root Canal Therapy — A dental crown restores tooth stability after a treated infection.
• Overcrowding or Impaction—A wisdom tooth or other teeth that do not line up correctly on the jaw may need to be extracted.
• Before Orthodontics — Extracting a tooth before orthodontics is common for a predictable outcome.
• Before Complete Dentures— If supporting teeth are not stable enough to support a partial denture, we will extract and place a complete denture.

We recommend a custom mouthguard because it is fitted to your teeth and gums. Unlike shop-bought mouthguards, it won’t slip and irritate the mouth. A mouthguard fabricated by your dentist simply offers superior fit and protection.

Custom Mouthguards in Katoomba

We take an impression of your mouth and use the results to create your customised mouthguard. During this visit, your dentist will make final adjustments for fit and comfort. We encourage you to ask questions and are always happy to address your concerns.

We have many options for restorative dentistry in Katoomba, NSW. Your dentist will gauge the severity of your chip or tooth fracture and make the best determination on ways to restore it.

For minor chips, your dentist may talk to you about dental bonding. This is a fast and easy way to conceal the chip without invasive treatment. Bonding is made from tooth-coloured filling material, which we spread across the chip. Your dentist then shapes it to blend in and sets it with a special light.

For more significant tooth cracks and fractures, your dentist may recommend a dental crown. The crown is a tooth-shaped cap cemented over the damaged tooth. It fits to the gumline and restores your bite force while protecting the tooth underneath. Your dental crown is custom crafted to look like your untreated teeth, down to the colour!

If you have a severe break below the gum line, we typically recommend a complete extraction followed by tooth replacement. We offer various tooth replacements, including dental implants.

For Restorative Dentistry, We Encourage You to Contact Your Katoomba Dentist

Our patients reside in multiple locations, including Katoomba, the Blue Mountains, Leura, and Yosemite.

Tooth decay can be tricky because it doesn’t always cause pain. In many cases, it isn’t even noticeable. Some patients are surprised to learn they have cavities when seeing the dentist because there is no spot on the tooth or pain.

If you’re diagnosed with a cavity, treating it according to your Katoomba dentist’s schedule is essential to avoid complications. Eventually, the cavity is likely to cause pain. As it advances, you may even experience the tooth breaking or crumbling.

Decay can also reach the pulp centre of your tooth, which can be excruciating and mean a dental emergency visit for root canal therapy! Advanced decay may require a dental crown instead of a filling or extraction.

How We Treat Cavities

Your dentist ensures you don’t feel pain as we use special instruments to remove the decay. We then fill the tooth with composite resin, a tooth-coloured material that blends with your natural enamel.

The filling process is straightforward, but leaving tooth decay to spread can be complex and even costly.

Do You Need General Dentistry in Katoomba?

If you have a cavity or suspect you might, we encourage you to contact our dental clinic to book a visit with the dentist. Additionally, our team members are always happy to speak with you and answer your oral health questions.

If your Katoomba dentist has diagnosed a dental health issue, we recommend keeping the treatment appointment provided by our dental clinic. Your dentist chose this treatment timeframe based on your oral health issue, and delaying treatment may not be healthy.

However, if you must delay treatment, we encourage you to contact a member of our dental team to discuss your oral health issue. We are always happy to chat with you and want to keep your oral health on track.

How Preventive Dentistry Can Help

Regular checks and cleans in Katoomba can lower your risk for many common oral health issues. It’s also important to brush your teeth at least twice daily and floss at least once.

These practices have been shown to reduce your risks for preventable oral health issues, including:

• Tooth decay
• Tooth infections
• Gingivitis
• Gum disease

If you’re prone to tooth decay, the dentist may discuss fissure sealants as part of your preventive plan. These sealants lock cavity-causing bacteria away from your tooth enamel.

Do You Need Dental Care in Katoomba?

We encourage you not to delay dental care when an oral health issue arises. We welcome your call today to book an appointment with the dentist or if you have questions for our team.

Regular dental check-ups and teeth cleans with your Katoomba dentist are crucial to your long-term oral health.

Some conditions like emerging cavities and gingivitis do not always have symptoms. So, your regular check-up at the dental clinic can uncover these issues before they cost you time in the dental chair or lead to tooth loss.

At Katoomba Dental Centre, we customise your preventive check-up and teeth clean schedule based on your oral health profile. For example, if you are prone to cavities or are diagnosed with an oral health condition, we may recommend additional dental visits throughout the year.

However, most patients visit us yearly or every six months.

At these check-ups, your dentist examines your teeth and gums, takes x-rays when needed, provides an oral cancer screening, and shares any findings with you. Your teeth clean lowers your risks for preventable problems like cavities and gum disease.

It’s important to remember that some dental conditions don’t present with symptoms, and it is always better to treat an emerging issue than a problem that could cost you a tooth or require extensive care.

Is It Time for You to Visit Your Katoomba Dentist?

If it’s time for your next check-up and teeth clean, or if you have not been to the dentist in a while, we welcome your call. And don’t forget to ask about any current specials!

Metal amalgam was a standard material used to fill cavities for many years, and millions of people have them. You can identify them by their tell-tale dark grey colour.

Recently, there have been concerns about the use of amalgam because of the mercury it contains. There have been many studies conducted on this issue, and experts have concluded that amalgam fillings are safe.

Today, however, tooth-coloured fillings, made of a composite of glass and plastic, are more commonly used to prevent the spread of tooth decay. Made to match the colour of your natural teeth, these fillings provide a more aesthetic way to fill in cavities.

In most cases, it is not necessary to replace amalgam fillings with composite fillings unless the metal fillings are compromised in some way. Often metal fillings begin to cause fractures in the tooth they have filled, and they need to be replaced to protect the remaining tooth structure. This is the main reason to replace them, and tooth-coloured composite fillings are often the replacement of choice.

If you have concerns about the amalgam fillings in your mouth, we invite you to contact our Katoomba, NSW dental surgery. We can conduct an examination and advise you on whether replacement with composite fillings is necessary.

Dental fillings are part of cavity treatment. If you have a cavity, it means an area of decay on your tooth that needs intervention from your Katoomba dentist.

Dentists relied exclusively on silver amalgam fillings to treat tooth decay in the past. Today, we can use a tooth-coloured option to not take away from the appearance of your smile.

A tooth-coloured filling is made of white composite resin. We apply this resin in layers after treating the tooth decay. The resin hardens to restore function and aesthetics to your tooth.

The advantages of tooth-coloured fillings are that they are virtually undetectable when you smile. They also do not contain mercury, which many patients prefer.

Of course, no fillings at all are best! To lower your risks for tooth decay, be sure to adopt and implement an excellent oral care routine at home. And visit your dentist in Katoomba on schedule for check-ups and teeth cleans. Additionally, if you notice any issues between dental visits, we encourage you to contact our helpful team.

For Tooth-Coloured Fillings in Katoomba, We Welcome Your Call

Tooth-coloured fillings are a modern and aesthetically pleasing way to treat tooth decay. If you suspect a cavity or would like to arrange a check-up with one of our dentists, we are here for you.

Your oral health therapist in Katoomba enjoys educating patients about their oral health and providing practical advice for at-home care. Their aim is for you to enjoy a comfortable, healthy and pain-free smile for life. They are always ready to answer your questions and provide practical advice on various dental health-related topics.

When you come to see an oral health therapist, expect a kind but knowledgeable dental professional who is happy to spend time with you unpacking your oral health and helping you achieve your best smile.

First, the oral health therapist examines your teeth and gum, looking for potential issues. This visit may involve x-rays if warranted. You’ll also undergo a relaxing teeth clean session, where the therapist uses special tools to clear away debris and polish your enamel gently.

After the check and clean, the therapist will discuss any findings with you and alert the dentist as well. If treatment is needed to address an issue, your health therapist or dentist will provide the options and help you choose the best way forward.

You’ll notice that the therapist sets aside plenty of time to answer your questions and advise you on nutrition as needed. Your OHT also performs procedures to keep your oral health in check.

Is It Time for Your Teeth Clean in Katoomba?

If it’s time for your next check and clean, your oral health therapist awaits!

We encourage you to call if you’re ready to book your next appointment.

Prevention depends on your healthy habits and your dentist’s efforts to keep your teeth and gums healthy. In other words, seeing your Katoomba dentist regularly for dental cleans and check-ups is crucial. At that time, your dentist may recommend additional preventive treatments like sealants to keep cavities at bay.

Dental cleans eliminate cavity-causing bacteria that are hard to clear entirely with your toothbrush and dental floss. Regular teeth cleans may also lower your risk for gum disease.

Dental check-ups allow your dentist to spot potential problems early before they become time-consuming and costly oral health issues. For example, if your dentist catches gum disease in the gingivitis stage, we can often reverse it. And we always perform an oral cancer screening during your dental visit. Early detection is typically best.

Between dental cleans and check-ups, your role is to implement healthy habits, including:

• Brushing at least twice per day
• Flossing at least once per day
• Consuming a healthy diet

If you have questions for the dentist between preventive visits, we encourage your call. Our team members are always happy to help.

Is It Time to Arrange Your Next Dental Exam?

We welcome your call if you would like to book an exam and teeth clean in Katoomba. We are also here if you have any questions about our services.

The team at Katoomba encourages you to check out our current dental specials and learn more about our exclusive membership plan and how it can potentially save you money on dental care.

Your first visit to our Katoomba, NSW surgery will likely start with x-rays. The dentist or dental assistant will initially take a panoramic x-ray (OPG) for diagnostic purposes. X-rays enable the dentist to see beyond what is visible to the naked eye, so problems can be detected early while they are more easily treatable.

Afterwards, we will take you into the treatment room for a pre-clinical discussion. During this time, you and the dentist will get to know one another, and we will go over your medical and dental history. This is the perfect time for you to voice any concerns you might have about your oral health. There will be a clinical examination, and your dentist will make sure to note the condition of each tooth.

When the examination is complete, your dentist will explain findings and discuss treatment options that can help resolve the problems. We always leave plenty of time to answer questions and to explain why we recommend certain treatments. We want you to have the information you need to make a good decision regarding your oral health.

If it’s been a while since your last check-up, we invite you to call Katoomba Dental Centre to book an appointment.

Tooth decay affects patients of all ages—not only children. For this reason, it’s essential to maintain regular dental checks and teeth cleans with your Katoomba dentist.

You may think you’ll know if they have a cavity, but sometimes they are in hard-to-see areas or between teeth.

Tooth decay demands prompt attention because cavities can spread to the tooth canal, which is very painful and can lead to tooth loss. It may also compromise your jawbone health, making it difficult or impossible to replace the tooth if it cannot be saved.

If you don’t treat the cavity, it will only get worse! What may have been treatable with a filling will eventually need a dental crown or even extraction.

Dental Fillings in Katoomba

To treat tooth decay in Katoomba, your dentist numbs the treatment site with powerful anesthesia, gently clears the tooth decay, and then closes with a tooth-coloured filling. We may have to use a dental crown or same-day restoration for larger cavities.

The sooner you treat your cavity, the more tooth structure your dentist can preserve.

Tooth Decay Treatment in Katoomba

If you have not been to the dentist in a while or notice a spot on the tooth or increasing sensitivity, we encourage you to call our dental clinic for guidance.

We invite you to discuss current dental specials and our exclusive membership program.

An oral health therapist performs dental check-ups and professional teeth cleans. They also measure periodontal health, provide primary restorative dentistry, offer tips on at-home dental care, provide information on specific oral care products and may offer nutrition advice.

If you ever have a question about basic dental care and healthy habits, your oral health therapist will be happy to answer it.

Your oral health therapist also shares all dental exam findings with your Katoomba dentist. The dentist or your oral health therapist will then discuss the findings with you and lay out the potential treatment options, helping you make an informed decision for care.

Your oral health therapist works closely with the dentist, and the dentist works closely with your oral health therapist. Theirs is a collaborative relationship. Their combined goal is your healthy smile now and in the future.

Your Katoomba dentist handles all advanced dental care, including dental emergencies, cosmetic dentistry, general maintenance, orthodontics, prosthetics, tooth replacement and advanced treatments and procedures.

Are You Ready to Book Your Next Dental Check-Up and Professional Teeth Clean?

If you would like to learn more about your oral health or if it’s time to book your next preventive dentistry visit in Katoomba, we encourage your call today.

Restorative dentistry is any treatment designed to repair or restore your smile. Restorations may include dental crowns, tooth-coloured fillings, porcelain veneers, same-day restorations, or other. It may also be that we’re repairing your smile through tooth replacement—dental implants, a dental bridge, or dentures.

Our dentists in Katoomba, NSW, offer a wide range of dental restorations to ensure ongoing smile health. The restorations are always customised for your smile and to match the colour of any remaining untreated teeth.

Caring for Restorations

Dental crowns, fillings, veneers, and implants require only brushing, flossing, and regular dental checkups for health and longevity.

A dental bridge should be cleaned daily with a special brush or floss threader. A denture, for the best results, should be soaked overnight in a denture bath. You can add a cleaning tablet to the bath and use denture paste and a brush for daily prosthetic scrubs.

Even if you have full-mouth restorations, you must continue visiting your Katoomba dentist regularly.

For Restorations, We Welcome Your Call

Restorations help prevent tooth loss or replace teeth whilst restoring function. We encourage you to contact our dental clinic to learn more or arrange a consultation with the dentist.

We proudly serve Katoomba, Blue Mountains, Leura, Wentworth Falls, and your neighbourhood. 

Some dental clinics offer same-day tooth crown, but we offer CORiTEC same-day hybrid restorations. They are similar, but CORiTEC means a friendlier price point for our patients.

Both mean same-day treatment and no need for a temporary crown or restoration!

The CORiTEC same-day restoration falls between the crown and composite filling—meaning it satisfies the middle ground in tooth restoration and repair.

Additionally, our restorations are hybrid ceramic as opposed to full ceramic or composite

Why You Might Need a Same-Day Restoration in Katoomba

Common reasons we recommend restoring a tooth include the following:

• Damage or trauma to the tooth
• Weak or at-risk tooth
• Following root canal treatment

Restorations save teeth from loss or extraction. If you need a tooth restoration, your dentist will go over the options and explain why one restoration may be preferable over another. A team member will also discuss crown maintenance with you, which is simple: brush, floss, and continue visiting the dentist on time for check-ups and cleans.

Your Katoomba Dentist Awaits Your Call

If you have a damaged tooth, we invite you to arrange a consultation today. And we urge you to reach out to a team member if you would like to discuss our current specials or want further information about our KDC Membership Plan.

We see patients from Leura, Blue Mountains, Wentworth Falls, and your neighbourhood.

Even if you brush and floss your teeth throughout the day, these healthy habits are no substitute for professional teeth cleans in the dental clinic.

Your toothbrush and dental floss clear surface plaque and bacteria from the teeth, but they cannot remove stubborn tartar and bacteria. Often these elements hide between teeth and in hard-to-reach areas at the back of the mouth.

Failure to clear plaque and bacteria from the teeth leaves you at risk for tooth decay, oral infections, and gum disease.

Gum disease is especially concerning because it can cost you your teeth and even impact your physical wellness. Studies have linked it to heart and lung complications, low birth weight, and certain types of dementia.

Are You Ready to Book Your Professional Teeth Clean in Katoomba?

If you have not been in to see us in a while or have questions about our treatments and services, a team member is standing by to speak with you today.

And we encourage you to ask about our current patient specials and exclusive membership plan and how they can potentially save you money on your dental care.

We are proud to serve patients from all areas, including Blue Mountains, Leura, Wentworth Falls, and your neighbourhood.

Concern over pain is one of the most common reasons people avoid visiting the dentist regularly. For the most part, your dental treatment will not hurt. Most patients report little to no discomfort during routine treatments, such as dental cleans and check-ups.

If you need more invasive treatment, such as a filling or root canal, and we will fully numb the area with a local anaesthetic before proceeding. Any discomfort after the procedure can usually be alleviated with simple painkillers such as paracetamol and anti-inflammatory medicines.

If you are particularly anxious about visiting the dentist, we invite you to contact our Katoomba, NSW surgery ahead of time. Once we know you are nervous about treatment, we can do everything possible to make your time with us as comfortable as possible. Regular visits to the dentist often mean you can avoid more invasive treatments because we can usually detect—and fix—problems while they are still small. Taking good care of your teeth at home with routine brushing and flossing will also go a long way toward protecting your oral health, keeping the need for treatments to a minimum.

If you are overdue for a dental check-up and clean, call our dental clinic to book an appointment.

Periodontal disease, commonly called gum disease, is a serious oral health condition that requires ongoing treatment.

Typically, periodontal disease starts as gingivitis, which is reversible. But if gingivitis is not treated and advances to periodontitis, the condition is much harder to control and becomes only treatable.

However, treatment is crucial because periodontal disease has been linked to tooth loss, heart complications, Alzheimer’s disease, diabetes, premature birth, rheumatoid arthritis, and more.

Fortunately, your Katoomba dentist offers periodontal prevention and treatment.

Prevention is about brushing and flossing regularly and visiting your dentist on time for check-ups and teeth cleans.

Treatment is about specialised cleanings to control the disease. In some cases, this means planing and scaling to remove infection and inflammation from below the gums. This helps your gums better adhere to your teeth.

Your dentist may also recommend additional brushing and flossing sessions at home, along with lifestyle changes such as giving up tobacco in all forms.

Signs of gingivitis and gum disease may include:

• Bleeding gums, especially when brushing and flossing
• Loose or elongated-appearing teeth
• Bad breath that does not improve with brushing
• Toothaches and gum redness or swelling

For Periodontal Treatment in Katoomba, We Are Here for You

We are a judgement-free dental clinic with the singular goal of helping you enjoy a healthier smile. We encourage your call.

The primary cause of gum disease is the build-up of plaque and calculus. Poor oral hygiene is often the cause when the teeth are not being cleaned as thoroughly or as frequently as they should be. This is one of the reasons it is so crucial to visit your dentist for check-ups and cleans every six months—or more frequently, in some cases. This gives your dentist the opportunity to monitor the health of your teeth and gums.

Your dentist or periodontist will check for changes in the size, shape, appearance and texture of your gums, any of which can indicate the presence of gum disease. Often people who have gum disease do not know they have it. The only way to know for sure if your gums are healthy is by seeing the dentist.

In addition, good home care is also crucial when it comes to the health of your teeth and gums. Many people do not floss regularly, and the truth is that your toothbrush cannot reach the areas between your teeth and below the gumline where plaque can build up. Daily brushing and cleaning between your teeth will help keep your gums and teeth clean and reduce the risk of gum disease.

Healthy habits are the best way to lower your risks for tooth root infections and other complications, such as recurring tooth decay, bad breath, and gum disease.

Your Katoomba dentist provides gentle root canal treatment, but having no infection is best of all!

What Are Root Canal Infections?

Root infections mean bacteria have penetrated your tooth enamel, reached the tooth's root chamber, and caused an infection.

Most root canal infections are painful. You may notice some or all of the following symptoms:

• Severe and increasing tooth pain
• A bump or blister on the gum.
• Gum or facial swelling
• Tooth discolouration

If your tooth nerve is damaged, pain may be minimal or absent. If you notice oral health changes without pain, we urge you to consult with a dental team member. Root canal infections are dental emergencies.

How Can I Lower My Risk?

You can lower your risk of root canal infections by seeing your dentist regularly for checks and cleans. It’s also important to brush your teeth at least twice daily and floss no less than once, preferably before bed. Additionally, protect your teeth with a mouthguard if you play sports.

Do You Need an Emergency Dentist in Katoomba?

If you have a toothache or other dental emergency, we encourage you to call on (02) 4782 1507 as soon as possible.

Typically, root canal treatment is straightforward, requiring two dental visits. However, some root infections can be complex, requiring special planning.

Our dentists have experience treating complex dental cases, but we may refer you to a trusted specialist if there are any concerns. However, this is rare.

About Root Canal Treatment in Katoomba

Your dentist will diagnose root canal infection through an exam and x-rays. The next step is removing the infection from your tooth’s canal under general anesthesia. Next, we clean the canal and fill it temporarily. Finally, at a future visit, we typically crown the tooth to avoid future complications like breakage.

You can prevent most root infections through regular brushing, flossing, and preventive dental visits. However, some root canals result from injury. So, wear your mouthguard if you’re competing in sports.

You’ll typically have a toothache and swelling if you have a root infection.

For Root Canal Treatment in Katoomba, We Encourage Your Call

We’re committed to offering gentle dentistry in Katoomba, the Blue Mountains, Yosemite, Wentworth, Leura and your neighbourhood. If you have a toothache or swelling, you must contact our team to arrange an emergency dental visit with one of our dentists.

If you have questions about our membership plan or current patient specials, we urge you to give us a call today.

There are many untrue rumours surrounding root canal therapy. However, the good news is that a root canal treatment in Katoomba relieves tooth pain and restores oral health.

If you need a root canal, you have an infection deep in the canal of your tooth. Most of the time, the root infection is very painful. You may notice:

• Tooth pain
• Jaw swelling
• Gum blister

If you’re fortunate, your dentist can diagnose the infection in the early stages during a routine check-up—treating it before it causes severe discomfort.

A root infection may result from untreated decay or tooth trauma.

The root canal therapy finds your Katoomba dentist numbing the treatment area, gently extracting the infected pulp, and sealing your tooth with a temporary filling. At a future appointment, we cap your tooth with a dental crown to restore function and prevent a future fracture.  

You can lower your risks for oral infections by visiting your dentist regularly and brushing and flossing daily. And if you’ve experienced trauma to your tooth, we recommend talking to one of our dental team members for advice.

Do You Have a Dental Emergency in Katoomba?

A root infection can mean a dental emergency due to tooth pain and discomfort. If you have a toothache or suspect a root infection, we encourage you to contact our dental clinic.

Your Katoomba dentist offers in-chair and take-home teeth whitening because we want patients to have choices. The dentist may also talk to you about laser dentistry to further brighten your smile.  

As a rule, in-chair whitening provides faster results, which makes it ideal if you have an important event coming up.

Our take-home system is the better option for patients who want to independently eliminate tooth stains and whiten their smiles. We only ask that you follow the directions provided by our team.

Professional Teeth Whitening Candidacy

First, we ensure you’re suitable for this cosmetic treatment. If you have not been in to see us in a while or we’re not familiar with your oral health profile, this means a consultation with the dentist.

At this visit, we provide an oral health check to ensure professional teeth whitening is safe for your teeth and gums. Additionally, this is a great time to ask questions and share your concerns with the dentist.

The dentist recommends teeth cleaning first for optimal results if you move forward with professional teeth whitening.

For Teeth Whitening in Katoomba, We Welcome Your Call

We look forward to your call to learn more about our options or to arrange a consultation with the cosmetic dentist.

A dental team member provides all instructions. And we are always here if you have questions along the way. This method is ideal if you have an event coming up and a few weeks remaining to brighten your smile.

For the best and safest results, we recommend whitening your teeth under the care of a dentist or dental professional.

For Professional Teeth Whitening in Katoomba, NSW, We Welcome Your Call

If you have questions or are ready to arrange a professional teeth whitening consultation with the dentist, we anticipate your call. And don't forget to ask about our exclusive membership plan. 

Patients come to us from many locations, including Katoomba, Blue Mountains, Yosemite, Leura, and your neighbourhood.  

We are thrilled to offer Zoom! Teeth Whitening in Katoomba. This popular cosmetic dentistry option provides our patients with predictable results.

Zoom! Teeth Whitening may lighten your teeth and remove stubborn tooth stains during a single dental clinic visit.

Why Do Teeth Stain?

Teeth stain for various reasons, even if you brush and floss regularly.

Some contributing factors include:

• Lack of dental care, including teeth cleans
• Indulgence in tooth-staining foods and drinks
• Tobacco use in all forms
• Certain medications
• A natural part of ageing

Your Katoomba dentist or a member of our dental team can provide tips to keep your teeth whiter for longer, including advanced brushing techniques and a tooth-staining food and beverage list.

Are You a Candidate for Professional Teeth Whitening?

Our aim is always to help you reach your smile goals. So, the dentist will take steps to ensure professional teeth whitening is the best course for you. If whitening is not viable, your dentist may talk to you about alternatives.

To learn more about Zoom! Teeth Whitening or our custom take-home kit, we encourage you to contact a dental team member today. And always reach out if you have any questions about our treatments and services.

Teeth whitening may be an excellent way to enhance your smile quickly. It is non-invasive and can be completed safely under the directions of your Katoomba dentist.

However, if you purchase a kit online, we can’t guarantee that the ingredients are safe for your teeth and gums. Some components can be harsh and abrasive. As a result, you can end up with tooth sensitivity or uneven and disappointing results.

Our dental office offers two options—in-chair teeth whitening with Zoom! and a special take-home kit customised to fit your teeth.

The in-chair option typically means faster results and is ideal if you have an event soon.

Our take-home option allows you to whiten your smile at your convenience. You can also touch up your teeth periodically, provided you follow the instructions given by our dental team.

We first bring you into our dental clinic for a consultation—especially if you are a new patient—to make sure whitening is safe for your smile. Then, your dentist will talk to you about what to expect following treatment.

Are You Considering Professional Teeth Whitening in Katoomba?

Teeth whitening can be used alone or as part of a smile makeover. We anticipate your call if you want to learn more or are ready to arrange a consultation.

For a safe teeth whitening experience, we recommend sticking with dental professionals like your Katoomba dentist.

When you whiten your teeth with our systems, we start you with a consultation to ensure our products are suitable for your oral health. Your dentist considers the health of your teeth and gums and the placement and integrity of your restorations.

It’s important to note that professional teeth whitening will not lighten restorations. However, this does not rule you out as a candidate for treatment.

In our dental clinic, we offer in-chair Zoom! teeth whitening and a convenient take-home kit. Zoom has long been a patient favourite, and our Katoomba dentists trust this system.

Professional teeth whitening can be used alone or as part of a full smile makeover that includes options to enhance your entire smile!

Are You Considering Teeth Whitening in Katoomba?

If you want to enhance your smile with teeth whitening or one of our other cosmetic dentistry options, reach out to a dental team member to arrange a consultation with one of our cosmetic dentists. And don’t forget to ask about our exclusive membership plan and how it may save you money on dental care.  

We proudly serve patients from all locations, including but not limited to Katoomba, Blue Mountains, Yosemite, and Leura.

Teeth whitening systems, including those bought over the counter, will not lighten your restorations. Be wary of products that promise to do so!

Additionally, be suspicious of store-bought products that sound too good to be true.

When whitening your teeth, it’s always best to stick with your Katoomba dentist. Whitening teeth on your own can lead to tooth sensitivity and enamel damage because you can’t be sure that the ingredients are safe for you—every smile is different!

Professional Teeth Whitening in Katoomba, NSW

Our dentists offer Zoom! In-chair teeth whitening and custom take-home trays to meet your needs. In some cases, the dentist may also suggest combination therapy—whitening in our clinic and completing treatment at home.

Before whitening your teeth, we assess your oral health to ensure the ingredients in our systems suit you. If they are, we may start you with a professional teeth clean to promote better whitening results.

Our dental team can also talk to you about how to keep your teeth white after treatment, including advice on tooth-staining foods and information about lifestyle choices.

Dentists are trained to treat oral health issues, including problems in the maxillofacial area. Today, some dentists are happy to treat TMJ. Our dentists in Katoomba are happy to provide appropriate treatments and therapies for TMJ and bruxism (teeth grinding).

What Is TMJ and How Can My Dentist Help?

TMJ is short for temporomandibular joint. The shortened TMJ or TMD is used to describe disorders of this joint. The TMJs are the connecting joints at the back of the mouth that allow for speaking, yawning, and chewing. When these joints are not functioning correctly, they can be painful and debilitating.

Your dentist can evaluate your jaw joints and potentially create a treatment plan to relax the TMJs and ease symptoms.

Therapies may include one or more of the following:

• Relaxation exercises
• Functional therapies
• Muscle relaxants
• Nightguards

In severe cases, you may be recommended for surgery.

TMJ can be present at birth and symptomatic later or result from an injury or teeth grinding.

Would You Like to Learn More about TMJ Treatment in Katoomba?

If you have pain in the neck, head, or shoulders or if you notice a clicking sound in the joint when you yawn, we encourage you to see the dentist for a TMJ evaluation. We welcome your call to learn more or to schedule a consultation.

Muscle relaxants are an effective and safe way to treat TMJ disorders. Muscle relaxants are injected into the jaw muscle which numbs the nerve receptors in the muscles that initiate movement and contractions. This treatment will weaken the target muscle while leaving enough strength for normal use; your speaking and chewing function will not be affected.

The treatment will last approximately 4-6 months and will significantly improve the way you feel every day when it comes to the comfort of your jaw and the associated pain relief.

TMJ means temporomandibular joint. When this joint does not function as it should, we say you have TMJ or TMD. The TMJs are in front of the ears and join your lower jaw to your skull. These joints should move easily when eating, yawning, and speaking. You should book an evaluation with your Katoomba dentist if they do not.

Bruxism means you grind your teeth when sleeping. Over time, this can lead to tooth breakage and even loss. Additionally, it causes exaggerated musculature in front of the ears and upper-body pain and can lead to or exacerbate TMJ.

Treating TMJ and Bruxism in Katoomba

Your dentist will evaluate your case and develop a treatment plan that meets you where you are in these conditions. Treatments can include muscle relaxers, appliance therapy, and jaw joint exercises.

In severe cases of TMJ, you may need surgical intervention to reestablish jaw joint health. Your dentist will discuss the options with you following your consultation.  

Do You Suspect You Have TMD or Bruxism?

If your jaw joints click when you yawn or wake up with tooth pain, it might be best to seek an evaluation with your dentist. Contact a helpful dental team member today to learn more about TMJ and bruxism, or book an assessment.

Dental crowns in Katoomba have a variety of practical uses in dentistry. And our dentists implement them often to help restore smiles and so much more! Dental crowns even play a role in tooth replacement.

Dental crowns are tooth-shaped covers that fit over a tooth that has been prepared or treated by your dentist. Crowns are customised to blend naturally with your untreated teeth.

Tooth Crowns to Support a Weak Tooth

Dental crowns restore function to a weak, fractured, or root-canal-treated tooth. The crown helps prevent further damage by creating a safety zone between your bite force and the tooth beneath.

Tooth Crowns to Hide Cosmetic Imperfections

A dental crown can conceal tooth flaws like discolouration, a worn tooth, or unsightly chips in cosmetic dentistry.

Role of Tooth Crowns in Tooth Replacement

A dental crown connects a dental bridge (prosthetic teeth) to healthy teeth. Additionally, it caps single dental implants to restore your tooth above the gum.

For More Information about Dental Crowns, We Welcome Your Call

If you have a weak or broken tooth, a dental crown may be ideal for preventing loss or the need for extraction. A team member anticipates your call—and remember to ask about our specials and in-house membership plan!

Patients come to us from many locations, including areas of the Blue Mountains Leura and Yosemite. 

We have many options for restorative dentistry in Katoomba, NSW. Your dentist will gauge the severity of your chip or tooth fracture and make the best determination on ways to restore it.

For minor chips, your dentist may talk to you about dental bonding. This is a fast and easy way to conceal the chip without invasive treatment. Bonding is made from tooth-coloured filling material, which we spread across the chip. Your dentist then shapes it to blend in and sets it with a special light.

For more significant tooth cracks and fractures, your dentist may recommend a dental crown. The crown is a tooth-shaped cap cemented over the damaged tooth. It fits to the gumline and restores your bite force while protecting the tooth underneath. Your dental crown is custom crafted to look like your untreated teeth, down to the colour!

If you have a severe break below the gum line, we typically recommend a complete extraction followed by tooth replacement. We offer various tooth replacements, including dental implants.

For Restorative Dentistry, We Encourage You to Contact Your Katoomba Dentist

Reach out today to get started and to learn more about our current dental specials and exclusive membership plan.

Our patients reside in multiple locations, including Katoomba, the Blue Mountains, Leura, and Yosemite.

Dental crowns in Katoomba work in many capacities, including anchoring a dental bridge.

Dental crowns are tooth caps that conceal an entire tooth to the gumline. They are customised to match your tooth’s colour and shape.

In restorative dentistry, dental crowns cover weak teeth at risk for fracture or those treated with root canal therapy. The crown helps prevent loss of the tooth or the need for extraction.

In cosmetic dentistry, the crown can hide tooth flaws—discolouration, chips, and shape issues—to enhance your smile.

A dental crown also caps a dental implant post for single tooth replacements.

A dental bridge in Katoomba is especially reliant on tooth crowns because they anchor the bridge teeth (artificial teeth) to healthy teeth.

A dental bridge is one or two teeth housed between tooth crowns. In most cases, the crowns anchor the bridge. However, it is also possible to rely on a dental implant to secure your bridge.

Zirconia is a popular restoration and prosthetic material known for its durability. Since bridges and crowns are used to chew meals, crafting them with strong materials only makes sense.

Our zirconia crowns and bridges are crafted from a single chunk of quality crystal, which makes them far stronger than traditional porcelain. Additionally, crystal means a natural-looking finish.

About Crowns and Bridges in Katoomba

Crowns work independently to restore stability to damaged teeth or conceal imperfections, but they also play a role in tooth replacement.

If you have a damaged or weak tooth, capping it with a custom crown restores stability. The crown can conceal and elongate if you have a cracked, short or mishappen tooth.

A dental crown caps a dental implant post or connects bridgework to healthy teeth in tooth replacement.

A dental bridge is a way to replace one or two missing teeth in succession. It is a prosthetic of custom artificial teeth situated between dental crowns. We cap healthy teeth, allowing the bridge to fill your smile. Alternatively, we can use a dental implant to secure your dental bridge. This method is called an implant-supported bridge in Katoomba.

We Encourage You to Restore Your Smile

Smile restoration is essential for aesthetics and promotes better oral health and digestion. We invite you to call us today to learn more or to book a consultation with a Katoomba dentist.

Your Katoomba dentist recommends dental crowns for various reasons, including the following:

• Deep tooth decay that is too advanced for a tooth-coloured filling
• A tooth treated for root canal infection that is no longer stable
• A tooth that has been damaged or broken

Dental crowns also connect bridge teeth to biological teeth, and they top dental implant posts. Some patients also choose tooth crowns to hide smile flaws like tooth discolouration, chips, and shape issues.

When Your Dentist Recommends a Dental Crown in Katoomba

Dental crowns restore stability to a tooth at risk for loss or breakage. If your dentist suggests a tooth crown to treat a cavity, it is because too much of the tooth structure was lost to decay, and a filling will not restore that structure.

Tooth crowns create a safe space between the damaged tooth and your bite force. They also look identical to uncrowned teeth.

Would You Like to Book a Consultation?

If you have a broken or damaged tooth and are considering restoring it, we support this idea! Without restoration, the tooth will always be at risk for loss. We urge you to call us today to arrange a consultation with the dentist or if you have questions.

Our dental team proudly serves all neighbourhoods, including Katoomba, Blue Mountains, Leura, and Wentworth Falls.

Dentists recommend dental crowns for various reasons, and some patients choose crowns as part of their cosmetic makeover.

If your dentist recommends a dental crown, here are a few reasons why:

• You have a weak or treated tooth in need of stability.
• You have deep tooth decay (treated) that puts the tooth at risk for breakage.
• You have a short tooth that is compromising your bite.
• You need a single dental implant, which includes a crown.
• You need a dental bridge with accompanying crowns.

Dental crowns can also hide cosmetic issues, including chips, cracks, discolouration, shape abnormalities and more.

The Dental Crown Process

For general tooth crowning, we start with an assessment of the tooth. Then, we shape the tooth, take impressions and provide a temporary restoration until your custom tooth crown is ready for placement.

Before your Katoomba dentist secures the crown, we ensure the colour and shape match your teeth. We also evaluate the function of your new restoration.
