Laser Dentistry

When a specific technology or innovation means an easier and more precise treatment for our patients, our dentists are eager to make it part of our dental surgery. In that capacity, we are proud to offer laser dentistry in Blue Mountains.

There are many patient benefits and practical uses for laser dentistry. And we are eager to show you how this technology simplifies treatments that used to be invasive and how it makes your outcome more precise while promoting faster healing.

What Is Laser Dentistry and How Is It Different?

Our Diode Laser emits focused light in a single and precise wavelength. This continuous laser light treats the area without encroaching on surrounding tissues and structures. It can also be used to cauterise tissues following a dental procedure.

We’re all very excited to learn of the many ways Drs Moss, Waters and Westreicher will choose to use laser dentistry in our dental surgery!

Are dentures right for me?

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.

Are You Considering Dentures in Katoomba?

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.

We are happy to serve all locales, including Katoomba, the Blue Mountains, Leura and Yosemite.
