Preventive Dentistry in Doreen

It can be easy to put off your regular trip to the dentist, especially if your teeth feel healthy. Did you know that your routine dental visits are one of the best ways to prevent oral health problems in the future? Like a vehicle, your smile requires routine maintenance to stay in top shape.

We base our regular check and clean frequency on your oral health, so the best way to see if your smile is on point is to arrange your next booking for you and your entire family.

Your Community Dentist in Doreen

We strive to help our patients achieve and maintain optimal oral health and wellness through preventive dentistry.

  • Routine examsfamily smiling in Doreen, VIC, after getting check and clean
  • Clean and polish
  • Diagnostic x-rays
  • Fluoride treatment (when necessary)
  • Fissure sealants (depending on risk)
  • Mouthguards for sports
  • Nightguards for grinding
  • Restoration of damaged teeth

By maintaining your regular dental visits to Doreen Dental Clinic, you are protecting the future of your smile. If your dentist or hygienist discovers an oral health condition, we can address it in its early stages when it is often less costly and less complicated to treat.

Brushing and Flossing Is Great, But Not Enough

No matter how good your brushing and flossing skills, your at-home tools cannot reach the intricate areas of your teeth or below your gumline, where bacteria like to hide.

Your hygiene exams at Doreen Dental Clinic employ specialised instruments designed to find bacteria, tough-to-remove tartar and sticky plaque that eyour brush and floss can't reach. We can also alert you to problem areas you might be missing at home so that you can perfect your technique.

Digital Dental X-Rays for the Win!

family at home in Doreen, VICIt’s impossible to see what is happening beneath the surface of your enamel or gums without some technological insight in the form of digital radiographs. Dental x-rays help your dentist see and diagnose dental conditions often before they cause pain, dental emergencies or significant damage.

We can store your digital x-rays in your paperless chart and compare them over time to track any changes to your dental health.

Cavity Prevention for the Whole Family

Often, we associate treatments like fluoride application with kids. Indeed, kids are often on the receiving end of fluoride and fissure sealants to protect their young teeth from decay. Sometimes, adults can benefit from fluoride, especially if they are more prone to decay.

We Welcome Your Family to Doreen Dental Clinic

We treat patients of every age and love welcoming families to our Doreen dental practice. We can even book multiple appointments at once for family members to maximise their time at the clinic. You are welcome at our non-judgmental, family-oriented dental clinic, and we look forward to helping you and your family achieve healthy smiles for a lifetime.

The Link Between Oral Health and Overall Wellness: Insights for Doreen Residents

Looking after your dental health has never been more critical as we now understand the close link between oral health and general health. Here's what you should know. 

The Oral Systemic Connection

Science has shown us a clear link between people who suffer from gum disease and those suffering from systemic health concerns, such as: 

  • Diabetes
  • Heart disease
  • Dementia and Alzheimer's disease
  • Rheumatoid arthritis
