Great dental care starts early, and you can bring your child to visit our dentist in Greensborough as soon as they begin to get their milk or primary teeth. At this stage we will be able to check their teeth and jaws are developing normally and we can offer a lot of advice on oral care at home.

A mouthguard is made from a tough thermoplastic material and fits closely over the teeth and gums. A sports mouthguard is designed to protect teeth during sporting activities and where there is a possibility of a dental injury, reducing the risk that your child will knock out.

Orthodontics uses various appliances to create a more balanced relationship between the teeth and jaws, aligning them correctly to achieve the best level of occlusion.

Dental fissure sealants protect the chewing surfaces of back teeth by sealing out bacteria that could otherwise cause cavities and consist of a plastic material which can be painted onto the tooth surfaces.

During dental examination our dentists will thoroughly but gently examine your child’s teeth, jaws and oral tissues and if necessary will recommend suitable treatments.

Ceramic inlays and onlays are used when a back tooth (a premolar or molar) has lost a substantial part of its structure, either to decay or to trauma which has caused a large part of it to chip or crumble away.

Cosmetic dentistry can give you a smile to be proud of so you can live life to the full. Treatments such as tooth whitening and dental veneers can improve the overall look of your teeth, greatly boosting self-confidence levels.

A gleaming white smile is associated with health and youthfulness and can look very attractive. It is little wonder that tooth whitening is one of our most requested cosmetic dentistry treatments.

Dental veneers consist of very thin pieces of porcelain that are shaped to fit exactly over the front surfaces of your teeth. They are bonded onto the tooth to create a long-lasting restoration.

Many adults may not have had the opportunity to have childhood orthodontics, but treatment can still be worth considering later in life, particularly if you have teeth that are significantly out of alignment or which are quite crooked.

Braces are orthodontic appliances that can be bonded onto your teeth using brackets and wires, or they can be removable. They are used to correct the position of the teeth and jaws, aligning them so you can bite together properly.

Many people assume orthodontics is purely used to create a more pleasing smile and facial appearance. While this is perfectly true it does overlook other and arguably more important reasons for considering orthodontics.

This makes it very easy to maintain good oral health without the need to spend additional time cleaning around brackets and wires. In addition, there is no need to avoid hard or sticky foods which could damage conventional fixed braces.

Often it can be as simple as making a few straightforward changes to your eating habits, cutting down on snacks in between meals or making smarter and more tooth friendly choices.

Fissure sealants are a very thin plastic coating that is painted onto the chewing surfaces of premolars and molars (back teeth).

Most of us brush our teeth without paying attention to what we are doing. As a result it is all too easy to miss areas or to brush less effectively. Oral hygiene instruction can help ensure you clean all your tooth surfaces more thoroughly.

Full mouth rehabilitation is a procedure that can correct poorly aligned teeth and jaws, and which will replace or repair any worn down, broken or missing teeth.

At Banyule Dental Greensborough we offer various restorative options. We aim to managed and restore the functionality of your teeth whilst achieving natural healthy looking teeth.

If we discover a cavity in a tooth or an old filling that needs replacing, we will almost certainly recommend a tooth coloured filling made from composite resin. This material is suitable for repairing small to medium-sized cavities in your teeth.

Dental bone grafting is a surgical technique to build up bone in areas of the jaw where there is insufficient bone to support a dental implant. This is a common procedure that restores the density and mass of bone in the jaw.

Dental implants are a great way to replace multiple teeth, and will protect any remaining natural teeth through keeping them in position, while preventing bone loss around the dental implants.

A sinus lift is a specialised type of bone graft that adds bone to your upper jaw in the area just above your premolars and molars.

Wisdom teeth generally come through during the late teens and early 20s and are the last adult teeth to erupt. By this stage the jaw is fully formed and often lacks sufficient space to accommodate these additional teeth.
