Protect Your Smile Safely

Anyone participating in a sport with a risk of contact to the face should wear a mouthguard. At Carrum Downs Dental Care, we custom make a mouthguard for you in the colour of your choice. A mouthguard helps absorb shocks to the face, which might otherwise result in chipped or broken teeth, tooth loss, and, in severe cases, concussion or broken jaw, which can lead to long and potentially expensive treatment.

Prevent Damage, Relieve Pain

An occlusal splint is a slim hard acrylic custom made guard fitted to the upper jaw and covering the biting surfaces of your upper teeth. It is designed to be worn at night, to aid in the treatment of grinding of the teeth (bruxism). Bruxisim can cause pain in your jaw joints, headaches, breaking and chipping of teeth and in severe cases even cause your tooth to die, leading to needing a root canal.

An occlusal splint will not stop you from grinding or clenching but guides the jaw into a neutral position, relieving pressure on the jaw joint and effectively protecting your teeth.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should my child visit the dentist?

It’s best to take your child to the dentist by their first birthday or when their first tooth appears. Early visits to a family dentist in Carrum Downs can help prevent dental issues and familiarise children with dental checkups, ensuring better oral health from a young age.

How often should I get a dental checkup?

Visiting the dentist every six months is recommended to maintain oral health. Regular checkups with a trusted dentist in Carrum Downs may help detect early signs of cavities, gum disease, or other dental issues, ensuring timely treatment and preventing more severe problems in the future.

Is teeth whitening safe for everyone?

Teeth whitening may not be appropriate for all patients. A dental consultation will allow your dentist to assess your teeth and gums and discuss available options based on your individual circumstances.

What should I do during a dental emergency?

In case of a dental emergency, such as a knocked-out tooth, severe pain, or bleeding, contact your dentist immediately. Rinse your mouth with warm water, avoid touching the affected area, and seek professional help as soon as possible.

How long do dental implants last?

Dental implants can function for many years with proper care. Regular brushing, flossing, and dental checkups can help maintain their durability. Avoiding habits like smoking and excessive alcohol consumption may also improve the longevity of implants and overall oral health.

Do children need fissure sealants?

Yes, fissure sealants can protect children’s molars from cavities by sealing deep grooves where food particles get trapped. They can help prevent decay, especially for children prone to cavities or with poor brushing habits.

What are the benefits of Invisalign treatment?

Invisalign can be a discreet way to straighten teeth without metal braces. The clear aligners are removable, making eating and cleaning easier. It can gradually align teeth, improving both appearance and bite function without disrupting daily activities.

Are dental treatments affordable at Carrum Downs Dental Care?

Treatment costs vary depending on the type of care needed and individual circumstances. Our team discusses fees clearly before treatment begins and can explain eligible rebates available through government programs or community dental vouchers.

What should I bring to my first appointment?

For your first visit, please bring any relevant dental records, your Medicare card if applicable, and details of private health insurance or vouchers you plan to use. This helps ensure your appointment runs smoothly and allows accurate claiming where available.

How can I find out what my private health insurance covers?

Private health insurance coverage differs between providers and policies. Contacting your insurer directly allows you to confirm inclusions, waiting periods, and annual limits before your appointment.

Will I be informed of costs before treatment begins?

Yes, treatment options and associated fees are discussed before proceeding. This allows you to ask questions and make informed decisions about your dental care.
