General & Restorative Dentistry
At Boutique Dental Bondi we understand that the health and function of your teeth and mouth are of the foremost importance. We offer a wide range of services to ensure you can eat, talk, laugh and smile to the fullest! From our Bondi Junction clinic we offer:
Cleans and Check ups
The accumulation of plaque and calculus around the teeth and under the gums can cause a cascade of dental problems like tooth decay, gingivitis, bone loss, halitosis (bad breath), and eventually, tooth loss. Routine cleanings in our Bondi Junction clinic rids the mouth of harmful bacteria and ensures you can enjoy a lifetime of exceptional oral health.
Our thorough and professional teeth cleans include:
Radiographs (X-rays): 3D CBCT, OPG x-rays and highly detailed, digital intraoral x-rays can all be done at our clinic for the most comprehensive view of your teeth, jaw and sinuses.
Scale and Polish: Our dentists will remove plaque and calculus build up from your teeth. We use both ultrasonic and hand scalers to provide you with a thorough clean.
Photos: Photos taken will be shown to you to help explain any treatment and to create a comprehensive record of your teeth.
Tooth Polish: we use an electric polisher, to polish and smooth the enamel surface of your teeth. The teeth are smoother and shinier, less likely to stain and are easier to keep clean at home afterwards.
Prophy air polish: This method is the safest and quickest way to remove even the most stubborn stains from your teeth, particularly from hard to reach places.
Fluoride Treatment: to reduce teeth sensitivity and to strengthen and re-mineralise teeth.
Need any further treatment? We will always provide you with a comprehensive treatment plan showing all preventive measures. These will be explained in detail and all costs provided.
Gum Treatments (Deep Cleaning)
Perhaps it’s been a few years since your last cleaning and your gums are really sore. You’re bleeding a lot while brushing and flossing, and maybe you’ve even noticed your teeth shifting. It might be time you’re evaluated for a deep cleaning or what we call a scaling and root planing.
Deep cleanings can help alleviate many dental health problems by removing soft or hardened plaque from under the gum line, facilitating the healing of gums, and preventing tooth and bone loss and the spread of gum disease. After a full examination, accompanied by a full set of dental x-rays and full mouth pocket depth assessment, you will be scheduled to start your gum treatment (quadrant scaling and root planing). We normally suggest to split the procedure up into either two or four appointments, but you and your dentist will discuss the pros and cons concerning your specific case. After full local anesthesia is achieved, a combination of ultrasonic instruments and hand scalers will be used to gently, yet efficiently rid your teeth of this harmful buildup.
Fillings
All of the fillings placed at Boutique Dental Bondi use only the very best bonding and filling material for your teeth. No more unsightly metal or mercury fillings. The tooth decay (caries) is removed and the durable composite (white filling material) is bonded to the tooth and a high intensity UV light is used to set the filling in place.
Crown and Bridges
Crowns are full-coverage restorations that are used to cover a tooth that is likely to break or is too damaged to be corrected with a traditional filling.
Crowns are placed over your weakened or decayed tooth after they are reduced in size, to allow the crown to fit over the tooth like a thimble.
Although there are aesthetic benefits to this treatment, the main reason for placing crowns is to strengthen damaged teeth so they can withstand the large forces we exert on them when we eat. And thanks to the latest developments, porcelain crowns can now blend in seamlessly with your other teeth.
A bridge is an excellent way to replace a missing tooth. The teeth on either side of the missing tooth are crowned and a false crown is attached between them to replace the missing tooth.
Both crowns and bridges are extremely durable and require only the same care as your own teeth.
INlays and Onlays
At Boutique Dental Bondi in Bondi Junction we offer inlays and onlays. if you have damage or tooth decay within the cusp of a tooth. An inlay is used similarly to a traditional filling, but are much stronger and look more genuine. An onlay is necessary for a significant reconstruction, where it extends out over one or more cusps of the tooth. Often, inlays may replace traditional fillings that failed or fell out, since they are more durable.
If you have a larger filling, or perhaps a broken cusp on a tooth, we may want to consider a porcelain inlay or onlay! These restorations are a simple and effective treatment, and in some cases are an excellent alternative to a complete porcelain crown.
Dentures (Plates)
There are various kinds of dentures available, but all share a common function: replacing teeth that have become loose or lost. Dentures are a removable replacement for missing teeth and can be either full or partial oral appliances. Natural, existing teeth may need to be prepared for dentures to fit properly. In some cases, teeth may need to be extracted and your mouth given a chance to heal before new dentures can be placed.
If you need a tooth taken out and don't want to be left with a space we can have a denture made ready so that it can be placed immediately after an extraction.
There are many styles of partial dentures and one of our dentists can discuss which is the best option for you.
Even with dentures, regular dental check ups are still necessary to have your dentures examined and professionally cleaned. We can also help make sure your dentures still have a proper fit to prevent slippage and discomfort. And with any check up, one of the dentists here at Boutique Dental Bondi will also examine the inside of your mouth to make sure it’s healthy.
Extractions
We’re sorry, but in some cases you may have to get a tooth removed due to various issues. Some teeth are extracted because they are severely decayed; others may have advanced periodontal disease or have broken in a way that cannot be repaired. Other teeth may need removal because they are poorly positioned in the mouth (such as impacted teeth), or in preparation for orthodontic treatment. Whether it’s a wisdom tooth or a tooth that had trauma, it may be an unpleasant experience. However, at Boutique Dental Bondi in Bondi Junction, we will do everything we can to make this treatment as painless and forgettable as possible.
After having a tooth removed it can lead to issues relating to your ability to chew, your jaw joint, and shifting teeth, which may have a major impact on your dental health. To avoid these complications our dentists will discuss alternatives to extractions, as well as replacement options for the extracted tooth.
Nightguards
If you have problems with teeth grinding, clenching your teeth, or snoring, we can help improve your smile and help you get a good night’s sleep. At Boutique Dental Bondi in Bondi Junction, we offer mouth guards and night guards individually designed and customized to fit your mouth perfectly.
Without a guard, teeth grinding and clenching could be causing:
- Extreme Jaw Pain
- Eroded Teeth Surfaces
- Fractured Enamel
- Extreme Sensitivity
- Headaches
Mouthguards
Mouthguards are an essential item if you play any contact sports. They help to lessen the forces caused by blows to the head, helping to protect your teeth and jaw from fractures. All of our mouthguards are custom made for your teeth and jaw to ensure maximum protection. We can even customise the colours, design and add your name, if you'd like!
Snoring & Sleep Apnoea Appliance
Sleep apnoea affects nearly one million Australians and causes interrupted breathing patterns during the night, resulting in poor quality sleep for both them and their partner.
The Oventus O2Vent Optima™ integrates a valve into a mouthguard to naturally increase airflow. It does this by advancing the jaw forward (mandibular advancement) to prevent the airways collapsing and incorporates an airway channel that further stabilises the airway, reducing snoring. Developed over 3 years in conjunction with the CSIRO, RMIT and Neuroscience Research Australia (NeuRA), this convenient and durable device is essential for:
Anyone who snores or suffers mild to moderate sleep apnea.
Anyone who suffers nasal congestion or a blocked nose and reverts to mouth breathing during sleep.
Anyone that cannot tolerate CPAP or wants a more convenient or comfortable alternative.
