General Dentistry in Mirrabooka

Grandma, mother, and daughter smiling Many people are not aware that good oral health is essential for total well-being. Taking care of your teeth and gums can also help you avoid treatment for tooth decay, gum disease and other oral health issues. Good oral health can also help you avoid embarrassing conditions such as bad breath or stained teeth. Also, more and more studies are showing that plaque build-up on teeth can contribute to artery and heart disease, diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, certain types of cancers and other health problems, so regular preventive care visits along with proper daily brushing and flossing habits are essential. 

At Western Smiles Dental Care, our caring team will develop an individualised ongoing oral care program for you that is best for you and your health needs. Our goal is to ensure you and your family members enjoy beautiful smiles and good oral health for the rest of your lives. This customised approach will allow us to identify any problems while they are still in their early stages and often easier—and less expensive—to treat.

Here are some examples:

  • Tooth-coloured fillings—Not only do these aesthetically pleasing dental fillings no longer mean you will have grey amalgam in your teeth, but they also require less drilling of the tooth in question. This means a better look in the end—and less time in the dental chair for drilling.
  • Digital x-rays—Not only are digital radiographs safer because they emit less radiation than their traditional film counterparts, but they are quicker and much more efficient. Because the images are digital, they can be enlarged on a computer screen to get a better view. You will be able to see the image and have a clear understanding of your situation after your dentist explains it to you..
  • Panoramic digital OPG x-rays and intra-oral cameras—These are often used in conjunction with digital x-rays to give even more in-depth views of the mouth. This often means dental problems are discovered earlier so that treatment may be less invasive.
  • Intra-Oral Trios digital scanner—This equipment eliminates the need for traditional dental impressions and can be used to construct digitally printed models, bruxism splints and CAD-CAM crowns, bridges and implants.

Let's explore the link between gum disease and total health.

What Is Gum Disease?

Gum disease is late-stage gingivitis. Gingivitis is curable, while full gum disease (periodontitis) is merely treatable.

If you have gum disease, infections and inflammation first isolated in the soft tissues supporting the gums (gingivitis) have now spread to the bone and periodontal ligaments.

How We Help Patients with Dental Anxiety

Many people are anxious about visiting the dentist, but rather than simply offering sedation as a stop-gap, Dr Duke has a more unique approach to make people comfortable coming to Western Smiles Dental Care. Relationship-building is a crucial aspect of Dr Duke’s approach, and he takes the time to get to know those in his care as people—not just as patients. He firmly believes that it is a lack of a symbiotic relationship that causes most dental anxiety. He is happy to spend some time on the phone with those thinking of coming in before they even step foot into the clinic.

Dr Duke understands that anxiety and fear can be overcome when dental care is provided by a professional you know, like and trust. This proven pathway of building trust has allowed many patients to feel at ease when attending to their dental care. We understand that it is difficult to choose a new dentist. Dr Duke wants to help you feel reassured by your choice.

If you are seeking a dentist, please call the friendly dental care team at Western Smiles Dental Care. We promise to treat you in a compassionate, caring and non-judgmental way.
