How often should I see a dentist?

Dentists recommend that you attend a regular check-up and oral hygiene clean once every six months. Depending on your individual needs, your dentist may recommend recurring visits more frequently or less frequently, such as every nine to 12 months. During your check-up, your dentist will look at your oral hygiene and diet, the health of your teeth, lips, gums, and any risk of gum disease, signs of tooth wear and the alignment of your teeth, jaws and bite.

Can a professional dental cleaning damage teeth?

What are the alternatives to wisdom tooth removal?

If our dentists check your wisdom teeth and are happy with the way they are growing, we may recommend over-the-counter pain medication to help you manage the pain and discomfort and we'll monitor the tooth to check that it comes through normally. We may also prescribe antibiotics to treat an infection if there is one present. For some over eruptions or partial eruptions of wisdom teeth, we may recommend removing part of the tooth or some of the gum tissue covering the tooth rather than extracting the whole tooth. We'll make sure you know all your options so you can decide what's best for you.

How much does wisdom tooth removal cost?

The cost of wisdom tooth removal in Perth can vary depending on the number of teeth to be extracted and the type of sedation required. EVP Dental have agreements with two dedicated anaesthetists. This means for patients with private health insurance hospital cover (having served waiting periods and not exceeded yearly limits), the excess cost for the anaesthetist and hospital may be minimal. For patients without hospital cover, IV sedation can also be an affordable cost alternative for wisdom tooth removal and can be administered at our practice or at Southbank Day Surgery.

Restoring your smile with dental implants

A dental implant is the closest available solution to a natural tooth and can be used to replace a single missing tooth, multiple teeth or an entire arch of teeth. Dental implants can also help stabilise loose-fitting dentures for better function and facial support.

Unlike any other missing teeth solution, dental implants can mimic the function of tooth roots that help to stimulate the jaw bone when you chew food. This helps keep the jaw bone healthy and stops it from shrinking away.

Book an initial consultation today to discuss your treatment goals and understand whether treatment is right for you. We will check your medical history, examine your mouth and then take radiographs and a 3D bone scan to check if there's enough jaw bone to support dental implants.

Our team has the skills, technology, quality materials and experience to help you smile again.

Restoring your smile with dental implants

Dental implant procedure

The process of getting implants is conducted over several appointments, depending on the implant solution you have chosen and the number of teeth that need replacing.

1. Consultation & Treatment Planning

We examine your teeth and gums, discuss your medical history and take a 3D cone beam scan and a digital impression of your bite. These records can be used to pre-plan your surgery and produce a surgical guide that will help the dentist precisely place the implant into in your jaw.

2. Placing Your Dental Implants

On the day of your surgery, your dentist makes an incision in the gum and carefully places the dental implant into the jaw bone. The implant is then left to heal under the gum or with a small metal cap or healing abutment.

3. Designing Your New Tooth

After two to three months, your dentist will check that your jaw has properly healed before taking digital impressions for the dental lab to design your crown.

4. Creating Your New Tooth

We arrange for your visit to the dental lab to meet our dental technician who will carefully craft and colour match your new crown to existing teeth.

5. Fitting Your New Tooth

Once your crown is ready, your abutment and crown are attached to the dental implant.

6. Maintaining Your Smile

Six months after your crown is fitted, you attend a follow-up appointment to check your dental implant and crown, then professionally clean and polish your teeth.

Dental implants are typically placed under a local anaesthesia to numb any pain during treatment. We can also provide treatment under IV sedation (sleep dentistry) or general anaesthesia for nervous patients or complex cases.
