Preventive and General Dentistry

At Fanelli Dental, we believe that the best dentistry aims to protect and repair the teeth you have whenever possible. Our patients appreciate our focus on prevention and high-quality restorations to keep smiles comfortable and looking their best.

Preventive Dentistry

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.

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.

Conduct oral cancer screening
Measure and monitor gum health
Take x-rays to see between teeth and below the enamel
Check dentistry such as heavily filled teeth
Examine muscle and jaw joint health
Ask about airway and sleep issues
Check for signs of bruxism – teeth grinding and tooth wear
Analyze pH and saliva

Our dentist will discuss your results and present anything that requires your attention. We always consider every treatment option available to resolve any oral conditions.

Comprehensive Dental Clean

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.

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.

Prompt Dental Emergency Treatment

When dental emergencies occur, toothache and discomfort can cause concern and make it difficult to get through the day. We are here to partner with you for an accurate diagnosis and to get you looked after quickly – often on the same day. We invite you to get in touch with our Gladstone dental clinic at the first sign of tooth pain or a dental emergency.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I need to come for active maintenance when nothing is hurting?

When you feel dental pain, it is an indication that an oral condition is now advanced. Most dental conditions do not cause pain until they become more involved. What was once a cavity that could be treated with a small filling might now require a root canal treatment and dental crown – or even extraction.

At Fanelli Dental, our regular active maintenance programme is designed to help prevent costly and involved dental procedures by consistently evaluating the health of the teeth, gums and bite.

Regular check-ups will keep our dentists informed of any changes that put your oral health at risk, and diagnostic x-rays will reveal underlying decay, fractures or infection.

Professional cleans with our oral health therapist remove calculus (tartar) and plaque in places that your toothbrush and dental floss cannot reach. The care provided by our oral health therapist complements your daily home care and polishes away surface stains that darken the smile.

Active maintenance is a small investment that pays off by preventing more costly procedures and unexpected dental emergencies that interrupt work and holiday plans.

Even if it has been a while since your last dental visit, we can help you get back on track with healthy teeth and gums. Contact Fanelli Dental, our independently owned and operated Gladstone dental surgery.

Do you accept new patients?

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.

Whole Body Health

Recent research links oral health to overall health in nearly every system of the body. Your mouth is the gateway to the rest of your body, so when infection develops and inflammation is present, it can cause serious health complications.

It is particularly imperative that patients who live with diabetes or heart disease maintain healthy gums, as these conditions are strongly linked.

Certain medications also impact your oral health, which is why we regularly update your medical history.

Care for Expecting Mothers

Gum disease can contribute to low birthweight babies, and it is common for expecting moms to develop pregnancy gingivitis due to fluctuations in hormones. We love watching the families in our Gladstone community grow and will help patients maintain healthy gums throughout pregnancy with personalised treatment plans.

By providing exceptional family dentistry, Fanelli Dental eliminates the need to make additional trips across town to paediatric dentists, or for advanced treatment such as extractions, root canals or orthodontics. We will take care of your dental needs right here in our modern and welcoming surgery.
