Prosthodontics
When all teeth are missing, the 2 main options are complete dentures and implant-supported full-arch teeth. Both rebuild your smile and your bite. Both can also lift the face and soften the look of ageing around the mouth.

Prosthodontics
A broken crown needs a specialist prosthodontist, not a quick patch. A crown is a custom-made cap that covers a tooth down to the gum. When it cracks, falls off, or starts to leak, the tooth underneath is at risk.

Bruxism is the habit of clenching, grinding, or gnashing the teeth, often without realising it. It can happen during the day (often linked to focus or stress) or at night (sleep bruxism).

Restorative
Chipped tooth repair in Turramurra depends on how big the chip is. A small chip can be fixed in one visit with bonding. A bigger chip that affects the biting edge or the nerve needs a veneer or a crown.

Patient Care
Dental anxiety is a real, often strong feeling of fear or worry about going to the dentist. Some people feel a small flutter in the stomach. Others cannot sleep the night before a visit, or have avoided the dentist for years.

Cosmetic
The right fix for discoloured teeth depends on whether the stain is on the outside or inside of the tooth. Outside stains come off with a professional clean like EMS Airflow. Inside stains need whitening, composite, or porcelain veneers.

Prosthodontics
A denture that used to stay put suddenly moves when you eat. A lower denture that lifts when you talk. A loose denture changes what you eat, how you speak, and how comfortable you feel around other people.

Prosthodontics
You have 3 main options for a missing single tooth: a dental implant, a bridge, or a partial denture. Each one has trade-offs in cost, time, and how it affects the teeth next to the gap.

Tooth sensitivity (also called dentine hypersensitivity) is a short, sharp twinge in a tooth when it meets something cold, hot, sweet, or sour. Our team finds out why the tooth is reacting, then calms it down.

Prosthodontics
Losing one tooth is different from losing several. The gap looks small, the chewing still works on the other side, and the temptation is to leave it. The trouble is that a single missing tooth quietly changes the mouth around it.

Sleep
A sleep apnoea diagnosis can be a relief, in a strange way. It explains the daytime fog, the partner's complaints about snoring, and the years of tired mornings. For many people, the answer is a small, custom-made mouth device.

Sleep
Snoring is loud, it strains relationships, and it is often a sign that the airway is working too hard at night. For many people, a small, custom-made mouth device is all it takes to quiet the night.

TMD
A headache every morning. A tight band across the temples by 3 pm. A dull ache behind the eyes that no amount of water or screen breaks will shift. Sometimes the cause is not the head at all. It is the jaw.
