Why check-ups are important
It is never too late to take care of your wellbeing

Your routine prevention appointments are a small investment that can provide significant results when it comes to saving time and money and avoiding emergency dental visits.

Our patients appreciate our focus on prevention and high-quality restorations to keep smiles comfortable and looking their best.

At our Gladstone dental clinic, detecting little problems before they become complex and expensive is essential, and it all starts with our Active Maintenance Programme. Dr Remo Fanelli provides much more than just a quick check because your oral health is too important for a one-minute exam.

What to expect from a dental check-up

If you are a patient who appreciates that smooth, fresh feeling after a dental clean, you will be thrilled with your results. Our oral health therapists take their time, giving you a clean like you have never had before.

With your visit to your dentist, you can expect the following things:

Removal of calculus and plaque

Polish and removal of stains

Remineralisation

Education on products and hygiene instruction

If the need for periodontal treatment arises, our oral health therapists will customise a treatment plan designed to bring you back to health. When detected and treated early, gingivitis, or early periodontal disease, is reversible.

Bone loss is the most common cause of tooth loss in adults. In an attempt to avoid tooth loss and the health issues that arise from periodontal disease, our oral health therapists work closely with periodontists to tackle the problem efficiently.

Restorative dentistry

In addition to prevention, dental restorations are an integral part of modern dentistry. Most patients will need at least one filling during their lifetimes, and through early detection, we can repair the tooth in the most straightforward manner possible.

We also offer highly durable, tooth-coloured dental crowns, bridges, bonding, inlays, onlays and veneers for reliable results and an admirable smile.

Using CEREC, we make it possible to have a dental crown in a single visit – something our busy families appreciate.

Why check-ups are important

Dentists recommend having a check-up and clean twice a year. A regular check-up every 6-months is the best way to maintain a great smile, spot any potential issues, and treat them before they become a problem.

Using your dental extras is a great way to maintain your oral health, and boost your wellbeing, without paying out-of-pocket costs - check with your health fund provider to see what you're covered for.

It is never too late to take care of your wellbeing

We understand that it may be scary to visit the dentist or it may have been some time. We don’t judge. We are here to provide an expert helping hand to get you back in good health, as you only get one set of teeth, so let's keep you smiling.

Frequently asked questions

Preventative dental care involves regular check ups, professional cleans, and diagnostic x rays. These visits help your dentist monitor changes in your teeth, gums, and bite so you address issues early.

Most people should have a dental check-up twice per year. This is in order for your dentist to keep an eye on your dental health, prevent issues from occurring, and treat any problems that arise immediately.

If you are having issues such as dental pain and wish to be seen sooner, don’t hesitate to make a booking with your dentist as soon as possible.

Early detection limits the need for involved treatment. A cavity treated early needs a small filling. A cavity left untreated might progress to require a crown, root canal, or extraction. Preventative treatment reduces the risk of emergencies that interrupt work or holidays.

Yes. Your dentist helps you return to a healthy routine with a personalised plan that supports long term oral health.

Toothbrushes and floss do not remove hardened calculus. Professional cleaning removes buildup that contributes to decay and gum disease.

Not only do we accept new patients, we warmly welcome your entire family to our dental practice. We have patients aged 18 months to those who have over a century of wisdom and are well-equipped to provide quality dental healthcare at every life stage and with the challenges that changing medical health involves.
