Most patients would like to keep their teeth and avoid painful dental emergencies, which is why we recommend preventive and restorative dentistry to protect your smile. At Oasis Smiles Dental, we always customise your treatment based on your oral health needs and your goals.
The foundation of a healthy smile starts with your routine dental exams and dental cleanings. When we have the opportunity to monitor your oral health at least twice yearly, Dr Daniel Raditaolana or Dr Naledi Mosarwa will often detect small cavities and early gum disease before they cause more serious issues.
Along with digital dental x-rays, your dental check-up and clean are the best insurance for a healthy smile.
Check-ups are more than a quick look and include:
Since dental conditions are often asymptomatic until they are well advanced, missing even a few maintenance dental appointments makes it possible for decay or fractured teeth to go undetected. Untreated dental conditions can mean a dental emergency or even result in extractions.
Dr Naledi Mosarwa will perform an oral cancer screen any oral pathology biopsies necessary to improve the outcome when it comes to pre-cancerous and cancerous mouth lesions. As with all cancers, early detection improves the overall prognosis for most patients.
General dentistry includes nearly every type of treatment to keep your family healthy. In addition to preventive dentistry, dental restorations make it possible to repair damaged or diseased teeth and improve their appearance.
Few of us will escape the need for at least one filling in our lifetimes. At our North Tamworth dental surgery, our dentists use tooth-coloured dentistry to complement your smile.
By using the finest composite and ceramic, the proper restoration can prolong the life of your tooth and improve comfortable function.
Other tooth-coloured restorations include:
Repairing your natural teeth is usually the most conservative approach.
When tooth loss occurs, it does not mean the end of enjoying a beautiful smile and eating your favourite foods. Dental implants, dentures, bridges and implant-retained dentures can replace missing teeth. Modern dentures and bridges look far more attractive than their predecessors.
Sudden toothache or a broken tooth is distressing, especially if you do not have a regular dentist. If you experience a dental emergency, we would like to invite you to contact us right away. We treat dental emergencies as promptly as possible, so you feel comfortable again.
Dr Raditaolana also has years of experience performing dental extractions and root canal treatment.
Our team looks forward to hearing from you. The best way to book a dental appointment for you or your family is to call us directly on 02 6766 2668 to find a time that works best for you.
Even if you are a contender for the tooth brushing of the year award, tartar still develops in the tight places that your toothbrush cannot reach. Dental floss removes plaque from between teeth, but it is still possible for it to accumulate just below the gums and harden into tartar, also called calculus.
For most healthy patients, twice-yearly active maintenance dental visits that include a clean and check-up are enough to maintain oral health. Routine x-rays will identify decay that is not visible through a visual exam alone.
Your active maintenance appointments are also a perfect opportunity to discuss your goals for your smile and any cosmetic dentistry treatments you are interested in.
If you have missed a few dental appointments, there is no need to worry. Our team will never make you feel guilty. Instead, we will focus on helping you restore your oral health by organising a personalised treatment plan.
Each dental clean includes a scale an polish using precision instruments that remove tartar, plaque, bacteria and surface stains. Incidentally, if you are interested in whitening your teeth, immediately following your dental clean is a perfect time to get started.
We welcome you to our Tamworth dental clinic and look forward to seeing your smile.
At Oasis Smiles Dental, we customise treatment based on each person’s unique needs. In many cases, six-month dental visits can help you keep your teeth and gums healthy. Because we strive to identify any dental disease in the earliest stages, these regular visits play a vital role in your oral health.
In some cases when patients have gum disease or other conditions, we may recommend more frequent visits. Contact us to learn more about preventive and general dentistry. We warmly welcome new patients.
Absolutely. Flossing is part of good oral hygiene. Your toothbrush can scrub away surface plaque, but floss is what keeps the areas between the teeth and just beneath the gumline clean. When you do not floss, plaque turns into tartar and collects bacteria. Bacteria in the gums and on the teeth lead to periodontal disease and tooth decay.
We recommend that you brush your teeth for two minutes every day using fluoride toothpaste and the proper technique. Be sure to brush every area of the teeth, including the chewing surfaces.
Flossing once per day, gently moving the floss up and down each side of the tooth, can help you prevent gum disease.
Signs of gum disease include bleeding gums, bad breath, red gums and sensitive tissue. Gum disease is linked to systemic issues such as heart disease and diabetes. Please give us a call to arrange your next dental exam. Healthy teeth and gums are great for your smile and your overall health.
Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that has been proven to strengthen enamel to protect from tooth decay. We recommend fluoride on a patient-by-patient basis depending on the risk of dental caries (decay) and home oral health routines. Contrary to popular belief, fluoride is not just for kids. Adults, especially those with compromised dexterity, can also benefit from supplemental fluoride treatments.
Sealants consist of a flowable barrier that we paint onto the surfaces of back teeth where food particles and bacteria usually collect. By creating this invisible barrier, we can reduce the instances of tooth decay.
Sealants are effective for several years on average when we can replace them to continue protecting teeth from cavities. Because sealants are non-invasive and often less costly than fillings, many patients appreciate having them as part of their preventive dental routine.
