At Walkerston Dental in Walkerston<\/strong>, we offer many different procedures. We treat the whole family, from children and teens, through to parents and grandparents. If you are looking for a one-stop shop to meet your dental needs, look no further. After all, who wants to go to one practice for Timmy\u2019s braces and another for mum\u2019s dentures? Here we do it all.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s an overview of the types of treatments we provide as a dentist in Mackay<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"DentistThe check-up<\/strong><\/p>\n

The bi-annual maintenance appointment includes a tooth-by-tooth examination and sometimes x-rays or photographs. We\u2019ll also do a scale and polish cleaning to remove plaque and hardened tartar.<\/p>\n

Restorations<\/strong><\/p>\n

This includes partial restorations to keep the original tooth root in place such as fillings and crowns, and we can also replace missing teeth with dentures, plates and dental implants.<\/p>\n

Extractions and root canals<\/strong><\/p>\n

Whether because of decay, infection or overcrowding, sometimes it is necessary to remove a tooth or cut the root. Our dentist in Mackay<\/strong> offers extractions and root canals to deal with these conditions.<\/p>\n

Cosmetic dentistry<\/strong><\/p>\n

For our patients with healthy teeth, we offer cosmetic work to help them to enhance their smile. This includes: veneers, cosmetic braces, teeth whitening and gum contouring.<\/p>\n

Preventive and children\u2019s dentistry<\/strong><\/p>\n

At any age, it\u2019s helpful to know good brushing technique and which foods are best for your teeth. Our dentist in Mackay<\/strong> can also advise adults on lifestyle habits that create or prevent good oral health. For children, we offer fissure sealants to protect those big back teeth they haven\u2019t got used to brushing properly yet. You can also bring your youngster in for a braces check as young as age 6.<\/p>\n

Braces<\/strong><\/p>\n

We offer teeth straightening work for all ages, including children who need to realign their jaw and adults who want a straighter smile.<\/p>\n

Nervous patients<\/strong><\/p>\n

We have an in-chair entertainment system, so nervous patients can watch a film or listen to music while having their treatment. We also offer gas and general aesthetic for those who are particularly anxious.<\/p>\n

Additional services<\/strong><\/p>\n

As well as taking care of your teeth, we also help patients who have trouble with snoring and sleep aponea, TMJ disorder, teeth grinding and tongue-tie.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
