TEETH WHITENING
Please don’t be tempted by the dangerous teeth whitening systems available online. We offer simple and safe procedures to whiten your smile, which can be completed in just one session at our clinic or in the comfort of your own home.
COMPOSITE FILLING
A composite filling is a tooth-coloured plastic and glass mixture used to restore decayed or disfigured teeth. Composites are also used for cosmetic improvements of the smile by changing the colour of the teeth.
VENEERS
Dental veneers are very thin wafers of material made from composite resin, porcelain, or ceramic, which are bonded to the front surface of a tooth. Veneers are usually used to change the appearance of teeth, including colour, shape, size, or length.
BRACES FOR ADULTS
Achieving a beautifully-straight smile is truly priceless. We offer a range of orthodontic treatments for adults, including traditional braces with cosmetic brackets, Invisalign, and Cfast.
Professional teeth whitening is a straightforward and non-invasive procedure that uses hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide to whiten your dull and stained teeth. Methods of brightening your smile include in-clinic and take-home whitening systems.
Generally, the more active ingredients the product contains the more effective it will be; however, above a certain strength requires a dentist to apply and remove the whitening product. In-dentist clinic strength products contain comparatively more active ingredients to achieve the desired whitening effect. These products are administered by dentists to ensure patient safety during the application process.
At Maidstone Dental, your dentist will use the Opalescence tooth whitening system. Each type of whitening utilises a unique application technique to protect your tooth and gums during the whitening process and also long term. Some products contain features that actively protect your tooth and gums during the process, and these can be beneficial as they enable you to achieve the desired whitening effect without incurring damage to your tooth or gums.
It’s best to seek our advice on which whitening product is most suitable for you and approximately how many shades whiter you are able to achieve.
Orthodontics is the branch of dentistry that deals with the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of problems in the alignment of teeth and jaws.
Full treatment usually involves fixed appliances (braces) for about two years. In many patients, the best time to start full orthodontic treatment is around the time the last baby tooth is shed; this is usually about 12 years of age.
Orthodontic treatment is not restricted to children and teenagers. The basic process involved in moving teeth is the same at any age. Orthodontic treatment can be successful for adults.
A thorough examination is important for proper diagnosis and treatment planning. When you’re ready, feel free to give us a call on 9317 5636 to make an appointment.
Artificial crowns
Although the outside of the tooth is made of strong and hard enamel, teeth can be chipped, broken or weakened due to:
Bridges
A bridge replaces one or more missing teeth. It consists of an artificial tooth anchored to the adjacent natural teeth. If a tooth is lost through an accident or is too badly decayed to save with a crown, a bridge may be the treatment of choice.

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that are inserted into the jawbone to replace missing natural teeth. Implants and their attached crowns mimic the look and function of real teeth. They can make an attractive alternative to dentures and bridges.
Dental implant techniques can replace one or several missing teeth. In some patients, an entire set of artificial teeth can be carried on dental implants.
Properly maintained implants that are anchored by sufficient bone can last for many years, although repairs may be needed, like other dental appliances. In order to achieve a good outcome, a patient’s case may need to be managed by several practitioners. While this can affect the length of treatment and costs, it is done in the interests of the patient’s well-being and good oral health.
Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner such as a Specialist Oral Surgeon.
