Common dental issues series – crooked teeth
When we are feeling philosophical here at Walkerston Dental in Walkerston GP SuperClinic, Queensland, we might ask ourselves the question – does the perfect smile exist? After many years of experience working with many different types of patients and numerous smiles, we can tell you that the answer is yes. However, the reality of the perfect smile varies from patient to patient. Part of our job is to discern what you think a great smile looks like, mix it up with a bit of technical knowledge and craft something that is perfect for you.
When we are acting as your dentist in Mackay, we encourage you to talk about any aspirations you have for your smile. It doesn’t mean you have to act on them straight away, but we can begin to talk to you about any options that we offer which meet your needs. You might think that something like the positions of your teeth are fixed once you reach adulthood. After all, braces are just for teenagers, aren’t they?
In fact, at the dentist in Mackay, we offer several different methods of teeth straightening that appeal to adults as well. Lots of people are now choosing to have their crooked teeth or gaps addressed using modern equipment that integrates well into your lifestyle.
One of the patient-centred practices we are proud of at the dentist in Mackay is our customisation. We work with a range of equipment and have plenty of experience tailoring our general service to meet individual needs. When you visit, we will assess your teeth and tell you what’s possible, how long it will take and so on. At the same time, we’ll listen to any priorities or restrictions that you have and incorporate your needs into the plan.
We know that you are more likely to want to go ahead with a teeth-straightening plan that makes it easy for you to get the smile you want without causing disruption in your life. We are with you throughout the whole treatment and on hand to answer any questions, provide advice on having braces as an adult and ensure that everything is going according to plan.
