Tired of being referred from clinic to clinic? Our caring team includes registered dental specialists in orthodontics and oral surgery, working alongside our general dentists. For families across Coffs Harbour, that means much of the treatment you need can happen right here, with people you already know and trust.
Each of our general dentists has completed dental school along with ongoing professional training, allowing them to provide a broad range of preventive, restorative and cosmetic treatments. To support our patients further, our practice also works with a registered orthodontist and oral surgeon. Together, this team can manage the majority of dental concerns in one familiar place, so you rarely need to be referred elsewhere. Because everyone works from the same records, your history travels with you and there is no need to repeat your story each time. And for anyone who finds the dentist a little daunting, our reassuring ‘Dentist for Chickens’ approach is here to help you feel calm and well looked after.
Many people picture an orthodontist as the dentist who fits braces, yet their work covers a good deal more. After completing dental school, an orthodontist undertakes further specialist training to diagnose and treat irregularities in the teeth and jaws. This includes addressing crowded or crooked teeth, concerns with the way teeth meet, and jaw alignment.
If you live with ongoing jaw discomfort, the position of your teeth may be one possible factor worth assessing. Our specialist orthodontist, Dr Tiffany Huang, can review how your teeth come together and talk through suitable options, which may include clear aligners such as Invisalign®.
Orthodontic assessment can be helpful at different stages of life, for younger patients and adults alike, and the right time to begin will depend on your situation. Every plan is tailored to your individual needs following a careful assessment, and your dentist will explain the process, the likely treatment time and any costs clearly before you decide to go ahead.
An oral surgeon focuses on conditions affecting the teeth, mouth, jaws and surrounding structures, including injuries and more complex extractions. This role calls for additional training and surgical experience beyond dental school, and it allows us to look after concerns that some practices would need to send elsewhere.
If you visit us with facial or jaw pain, or a tooth that needs more involved removal, our oral surgeon may form part of your care. Procedures they commonly carry out include:
• Wisdom tooth removal
• Assessment and management of cysts and similar conditions
• Dental implant placement
• Exposure of teeth to assist orthodontic treatment
• Assessment of jaw and developmental concerns
Deciding to have oral surgery is rarely easy, and it is completely normal to feel uncertain beforehand. Because our oral surgeon visits our practice and works in a setting that already feels familiar, we hope to make the experience as comfortable and reassuring as possible.
As with any procedure, your surgeon will talk through the benefits, the risks and what recovery involves before you begin, so you can make a decision that is right for you.
From routine check-ups to specialist treatments, our caring team offers comprehensive care right here in Coffs Harbour.
