Family Preventive Dental Care in Blue Mountains
We welcome every age group and often recommend twice-yearly visits for dental examinations and teeth cleans. This helps our dental team monitor oral health changes to help ensure you can avoid many common dental issues, like dental cavities and periodontal disease. How often you need to come to the clinic will depend on your individual needs.
At your initial examination, we will introduce you to our modern approach to dental diagnosis. We initially take an OPG x-ray, which provides a flat view of your upper and lower jaw, as well as intra-oral images of your entire mouth, enabling us to walk you through every potential or current problem you have. We will also clean your teeth to remove surface stains and promote gum health, and we may recommend additional preventive treatments such as fluoride.
After your initial exam, we design a customised treatment plan for you, providing you with different options for treatment and the costs associated with them. We offer procedures such as root canals, extractions, gum disease treatment, dental crowns and bridges.
How Much Does General and Preventive Dental Care Cost?
At Katoomba Dental Centre, fillings start from $203, and a comprehensive new patient check-up and clean is $199. These services are designed to help maintain your oral health and catch potential issues early. Costs may vary depending on the complexity of treatment and your individual needs. We recommend booking an appointment to receive tailored advice and care.
Prevention is about more than dental check-ups, teeth cleans and restoring oral health. It is also about protecting your family’s teeth from injury, particularly athletically inclined children participating in sports. If you or a loved one sustains an oral trauma, it's important to seek dental care as soon as possible. Leaving a chipped, broken or damaged tooth (or teeth) untreated can result in long-term complications, including the need for extraction.
This feared dental procedure does not deserve its unfair reputation. This treatment will relieve pain rather than cause it—and it will save your tooth in the process. A root canal may rid your tooth of the infection as well as discomfort and swelling.
