Dental Cleanings & Exams in Garran & Woden Valley
At Telopea Park Dental, we emphasise the importance of methodical and precise dental care. While many people in Garran relate to dentistry in terms of urgent care for acute problems, our mission is to help you appreciate the nuts and bolts of your oral health. When a patient develops a plan with our team, we may treat most concerns in the early stages when durable solutions are more precise and easier to apply.
Along with our high-quality procedures and technologies, we also take your comfort and convenience into account. Our clinic is freshly stocked with amenities, including televisions in our treatment rooms.
Our Practice Philosophy Is Comprehensive
Our goal at Telopea Park Dental is to provide an effective treatment plan acknowledging that each dental problem has multiple solutions. So we always start by examining and diagnosing each patient as an individual. Then we may offer options for treatment that patients may decide to pursue based on their needs and priorities. Amidst these choices, our goal is to remain clear and concise.
Our treatment plans usually follow these four phases:
- Control
- Conservation
- Reconstruction
- Maintenance
In phase one, we start with a complete examination, take digital x-rays of your teeth, and then create a comprehensive assessment of your oral health. With this information, Dr Kropinak may construct a treatment scenario. Then, he will discuss your options to answer your questions and alleviate your concerns.
This next phase focuses on your teeth suffering only minor to moderate damage. Then, we may move on to more extensive reconstructions. This phase allows us to utilise dental specialists and their expertise in many cases. So, for more complex treatment, we routinely refer to local specialists, and through those referrals, We have cultivated strong relationships. So you can be confident that if you require particular care, we will refer you to only the most qualified specialists.
The last and continuing phase is maintaining your oral health over the long run. Our Garran team performs dental cleans with special tools and techniques that will have you leaving our clinic with that freshly cleaned and polished feeling.
What Falls under General Dentistry?
Your treatment plan in Telopea Park will likely consist of both preventative and general dental procedures. Preventive dentistry includes routine exams and cleans, sealants, and periodontal care. Procedures that fall under general dentistry include:
- Dental fillings, including tooth-coloured composite resins to correct tooth decay
- Root canal therapy
- Extractions
- CEREC crowns and bridges
Dr Kropinak is a practised and qualified dentist with extensive experience to perform these and many more general dental procedures with a high degree of success.
Dental Amalgam Fillings Treat Tooth Cavities
A dental cavity forms as a hole in the outer layers of your tooth. Ideally, early detection can lead to the least invasive solution. Our team will identify potential problems during your initial or routine exam and take x-rays for confirmation.
At Telopea Park Dental, we offer every filling available depending on your specific needs. For example, for less visible back teeth, you may choose a metallic amalgam for maximum durability. We also do tooth-coloured fillings made of a composite material to match your natural teeth.
Dr Kropinak may also use these same materials to seal your tooth as part of root canal therapy. In places where a dental filling is insufficient, patients may take advantage of our CEREC process to restore the visible portion of their tooth with a porcelain cap.
