At Telopea Park Dental our aim is to provide top-quality dental care for our patients in the Canberra area, especially in the Garran and Woden Valley communities.
Modern dental technology and techniques are a significant part of our practice, this helps us provide the optimal experience while we treat our patients like family.
We encourage you to review our featured technologies below.
Nitrous Oxide Sedation
At Telopea Park Dental, we understand how dental anxiety interferes with the care for those who need it most. When fear causes a person to avoid their dentist, the health of their teeth suffers. When this happens, a person's tooth decay may progress too far, causing pain and even more avoidance. The team at Telopea Park Dental breaks this cycle with a mild sedative gas called nitrous oxide.
Dentists prefer nitrous oxide for numerous reasons.
- Easy to administer
- Mild effects that relax you rather than knock you out
- Though sedated, you can still respond to your dentist's requests
- Few side effects
When you need its effects, you inhale nitrous oxide through a small mask. When your treatment is done, your dentist replaces the gas with oxygen, which quickly removes the sedative effects so that you can even drive yourself home after your procedure.
In short, nitrous oxide is a safe way to take the edge off while encouraging patients to endure their treatments without complaint.
Screens in Treatment Rooms
One way to make dental visits more enjoyable is by offering entertainment on screens in both the waiting and treatment rooms. At Telopea Park Dental, our caring staff believes a welcoming clinic environment definitely helps improve the patient experience. Along with many other comforts, we achieve this goal by providing entertainment that may distract you from any unpleasant effects of treatment.
We invite you to watch your favourite program or brush up on the news during a clean and polish or other therapy. Before you know it, your treatment will be complete.
Reciprocating Rotary Endodontics
Today, reciprocating rotary endodontics is a safe and modern technique for performing root canal therapy in Garran and Canberra region. This new file system allows us to gently and quickly remove infected material from inside your tooth.
In the past, dentists had to manually clear your tooth with steel files that were slow and inefficient. With reciprocating rotary endodontics, Dr Eric Kropinak uses an electrically-powered handpiece and special heat treated NiTi files allowing him to perform root canals with increased speed and efficiency, often with only 1 file.
EMS Airflow Prophylaxis Master
Having your regular visit to the dentist just got easier with the use of our EMS Airflow Prophylaxis Master treatment unit. At Telopea Park Dental, we are able to effectively remove plaque and stains from your teeth, implants, crowns and bridges with the use of compressed air, water and a fine powder. Surface stains caused by tobacco, tea, red wine are also removed by this technique.
