What can you find at the dentist in Mackay?

At Walkerston Dental in Walkerston, we offer many different procedures. We treat the whole family, from children and teens, through to parents and grandparents. If you are looking for a one-stop shop to meet your dental needs, look no further. After all, who wants to go to one practice for Timmy’s braces and another for mum’s dentures? Here we do it all.

Here’s an overview of the types of treatments we provide as a dentist in Mackay.

The check-up

The bi-annual maintenance appointment includes a tooth-by-tooth examination and sometimes x-rays or photographs. We’ll also do a scale and polish cleaning to remove plaque and hardened tartar.

Restorations

This includes partial restorations to keep the original tooth root in place such as fillings and crowns, and we can also replace missing teeth with dentures, plates and dental implants.

Extractions and root canals

Whether because of decay, infection or overcrowding, sometimes it is necessary to remove a tooth or cut the root. Our dentist in Mackay offers extractions and root canals to deal with these conditions.

Cosmetic dentistry

For our patients with healthy teeth, we offer cosmetic work to help them to enhance their smile. This includes: veneers, cosmetic braces, teeth whitening and gum contouring.

Preventive and children’s dentistry

At any age, it’s helpful to know good brushing technique and which foods are best for your teeth. Our dentist in Mackay can also advise adults on lifestyle habits that create or prevent good oral health. For children, we offer fissure sealants to protect those big back teeth they haven’t got used to brushing properly yet. You can also bring your youngster in for a braces check as young as age 6.

Braces

We offer teeth straightening work for all ages, including children who need to realign their jaw and adults who want a straighter smile.

Nervous patients

We have an in-chair entertainment system, so nervous patients can watch a film or listen to music while having their treatment. We also offer gas and general aesthetic for those who are particularly anxious.

Additional services

As well as taking care of your teeth, we also help patients who have trouble with snoring and sleep aponea, TMJ disorder, teeth grinding and tongue-tie.
