Sydney Dental Clinic opened in 2002 with the focus on providing the very best dental services through the latest advances in dental technology. Holdsworth House dentists take pride in excellence in dentistry through dedication, personal and team growth, as well as respect for patient's needs and time.
Dental care starts from understanding what is important for you as a patient. Treatment plan is then tailored to suit your like or dislike about your teeth, while addressing your concerns. Dental checkups also examine your gum, how your teeth look and function towards proactive approach to save you from expensive solutions in the years ahead. The first examination is thorough and very important. Holdsworth House dentists also generate charts; take radiographs and photos to help you follow what is happening in your mouth. You can then take your time to consider your options and decide.
To prevent infection, autoclave is used for all instruments. New mask and gloves are used for every patients, as well as sterilisation of treatment room. Every precaution is taken including protective glasses for patients and staff.
When treatment requires highly specialised practitioners, we work with dental specialists such as oral surgeons, endodontists and orthodontists.
The health of your jaw and neck muscles can be influenced by your occlusion, that is, the way your teeth meet when you close your jaws. Your teeth meet during talking, swallowing, and chewing, and this can occur over 2000 times a day. Bruxism (grinding or clenching teeth) can lead to headaches, neck aches, painful jaw joints, and chipped or worn teeth. These symptoms can be treated by fixing the occlusion, physiotherapy, chiropractic treatments, or reducing stress.
If you are self-conscious about your teeth, or would prefer them to be whiter or a different shape, there are many techniques available to alter your smile. Bleaching is a safe way of lightening teeth, with results in about 2 weeks. Teeth shape and position can be changed using composite and porcelain materials. For services which are not provided by HHDP, you can be referred to specialists such as orthodontists, periodontists, and oral surgeons. Your dentist can explain all the options available and discuss them with you.
Periodontitis is a disease of the gums, ligaments, and bone structure, which can result in the loss of teeth. If plaque is not properly removed, it can harden around the gum line, and the structures supporting your teeth can become infected and damaged. It is important to remove the daily build-up of soft plaque through proper brushing and flossing. A periodontal examination by your dentist can accurately examine the health of your 'gum pocket', the space between the tooth and gum. Periodontal treatment can involve scaling (removing deposits of plaque and calculus above the gumline), and root planing (removing deposits from the surface of tooth roots).
