Often after having a large cavity or filling, a tooth may start to become weak and in some cases begin to crack or break away. In these cases it is important to restore the tooth in a way that provides strength and support. A crown is custom made for your tooth to cover and protect what is left and prevent further breaking.

Where you are missing a tooth, crowns on the neighbouring teeth can support a floating tooth made of ceramic to provide a natural looking replacement. This is called a bridge.

Inlays and Onlays are specialised fillings made in a dental laboratory that are cemented into your teeth. They provide a useful alterative to a large filling as they are strong, tooth coloured and only require removal of any weakened part of the tooth. These options can all be discussed with you at Jacaranda Family Dental.

Overtime it is common for our teeth to become discoloured due to consumption of coffee, tea, red wine, staining foods, smoking as well as the ageing process. This can result in teeth that appear dull, dark or aged. These changes can be reversed significantly with use of professional whitening treatments at Jacaranda Family Dental. Professional teeth whitening is both safe and effective.

You can choose between convenient in-chair whitening or the flexibility and comfort of at-home whitening treatments.

Feel free to speak to one of our friendly dentists to determine if you are a good candidate for whitening.

Teeth grinding or clenching, also known as bruxism is a common sleep disorder which can cause extreme damage to your teeth such as major wear to biting surfaces, chips and cracks.

Bruxism can be caused by a disturbed sleep-pattern, stress, airway constriction, some medications or a lack of symmetry in the teeth, and if left untreated, results in excessive wear or even tooth loss.

After a careful assessment of your teeth at Jacaranda Family Dental, we can help your mouth regain its health and vitality be rebuilding any teeth that may have been worn. Further damage can also be prevented by having a custom-made protective night guard or bite splint made for you.

For a beautiful white smile, we can now replace old-fashioned metal amalgam fillings with tooth-coloured composite material at Jacaranda Family Dental.

Composite fillings are a great alternative to dark-coloured amalgam due to their natural appearance, strength, durability and resistance to fractures.
