Because the majority of oral health problems are preventable, we incorporate therapeutic and prevention-based strategies that equip your family with the resources necessary to avoid unnecessary treatment later on.
Seeing our dentists on a routine basis allows us to carefully monitor your mouth for signs of unhealthy developments, such as gum disease or weakening enamel.
For most healthy individuals, we recommend these visits every six months.
A Comprehensive Examination
As we check for changes in your teeth, we’ll also assess the integrity of your restorations (crowns, fillings, etc.) to ensure everything is holding up properly.
Diagnostic Imaging
Digital X-rays make it possible to screen for dental disease and tooth decay below the surface of what’s visible during your exam. These safe and efficient images help us to diagnose conditions before they have a chance to evolve into something more complex.
Clean and Polish
We’ll gently remove stains and tartar deposits that have accumulated since your last dental clean, including those in hard-to-reach areas between your teeth and just under the gumlines.
Oral Cancer Exam
Sun exposure, viruses, tobacco and alcohol are all risk factors for this deadly disease. Early diagnosis is the most crucial aspect of successful treatment. Because oral cancer is sometimes found in healthy individuals, we will screen for symptoms even if you do not smoke or drink.
Screening for Periodontal Disease
The health of your gums is vital when it comes to the overall integrity of your smile. Measuring where the gums and bone attach to your teeth allows us to intercept the risk of tooth loss before it occurs.
Fissure Sealants and Fluoride
These two preventative services minimise the risk of decay in cavity-prone areas and weak enamel. Fluoride is useful for patients of all ages who tend to have sensitive teeth or recurrent cavities, while sealants are most appropriate for newly erupted permanent teeth.

Visiting a preferred provider dentist under private health insurance presents numerous advantages for patients.
Patients typically enjoy reduced out-of-pocket expenses as treatments from preferred providers are often covered to a greater extent. This makes quality dental care more affordable and accessible.
Additionally, the claims submission and reimbursement process is often more streamlined, reducing the administrative burden on the patient. There’s also the assurance of quality; preferred provider dentists are generally vetted by the insurance company, ensuring they meet specific standards of care and professionalism. This provides patients with added confidence in the treatment they receive.
Furthermore, the straightforward referral systems within the network can facilitate more accessible access to specialists or additional dental services if needed. Overall, seeing a preferred provider dentist via private health insurance ensures both financial savings and peace of mind regarding the standard of care.
