How to choose the right dentist in Mackay for you?

The time of asking friends and family for referrals on where to get your car fixed, get your hair done, find a new dentist in Mackay has passed. The reality is most of us hop on the internet, read some reviews and decide where to go. But Here at Walkerston Dental, part of Walkerston GP Superclinic, Queensland, our family owned and operated clinic is thrilled to know most of our patients are still referred to us through their friends, family and neighbors in the community.

Why is preventive dentistry important?

Our team here at Walkerston Dental is ready to greet your family with a smile, to welcome you into our community, and to create lifelong healthy oral hygiene habits.  Our team of dentists and hygienists aim to prevent dental issues long before they start. By creating dental habits for young and old alike, patients can prevent gum disease, tooth decay, and tooth loss. Besides needing invasive and costly treatments, missing and broken teeth and gum disease can be incredibly painful, prevent you from living your best life, and are even linked to cardiovascular disease.

What about dental procedures for already damaged teeth?

If you are already suffering from missing, broken, or decayed teeth, then it is even more important you visit the dentist in Mackay as soon as you can. Decayed and missing teeth can lead to other teeth becoming decayed, damaged or falling out, and there are options to help prevent it from getting worse, such as dental implants.

We know some people feel some shame surrounding their teeth, but we want you to know that our clinic offers a completely unbiased and safe environment for our patients. There is no reason you cannot start to learn new habits at the dentist in Mackay, even later in life.

What if you are nervous?

We offer the community a family-friendly and welcoming clinic. All of our rooms are decorated to calm your nerves, and each room is equipped with a TV to distract you from the procedures. We care about each patient, and we dedicate enough time to thoroughly communicate all dental techniques, oral hygiene tips, treatment information, and payment options.

All treatment carries risks. Individual consultation is required with one of our practitioners to ensure that the treatment is right for you.
