At Designer Dental Studio, it makes sense to us that Preventive Care is an essential part of our patients’ care. This type of care includes regular assessment of the teeth, bone and gums to identify concerns in a timely manner. With consistent Preventive Care, our patients can maintain good oral health and prevent the need for extensive, costly dental treatment.

For example, a tooth will a small hole may only need a seal or small filling (few hundred dollars), whereas a tooth with a very large hole may end up needing Root Canal Treatment and then a crown (few thousand dollars)! By addressing concerns early, the necessary appointments are also fewer, shorter, and more comfortable.

Previous generations have endured ‘patch and repair' dentistry, and are therefore accustomed to only attending the dentist when they are in pain. Fortunately the dental industry is now focused on preventing dental concerns, as well as fixing them!

We encourage our patients to schedule regular Preventive Care appointments, which include an examination with Dr Craig Duval and Professional Clean with Jade, our Hygienist and Oral Health Therapist. The frequency of Preventive Care appointments can vary, depending on the health of your teeth and gums.

While most patients attend six-monthly appointments, some only need to see us twelve-monthly, while others need to see us three-monthly or four-monthly. Jade will monitor your overall oral health, to ensure that your teeth and gums remain healthy.

At Designer Dental Studio we customise our patient’s oral home care to suit their individual needs. A good level of oral hygiene is essential to prevent infection, dental discomfort and even bad breath.
