Why Should I Have My Wisdom Teeth Removed At Dentists & Doctors?

At Dentists & Doctors, our priority is to ensure our patients are relaxed and comfortable during their dental surgery. We have the latest CBCT (3D X ray) machine at our Geelong clinic which allows us to safely and accurately plan the removal of your wisdom teeth. This ensures each patient receives the safest and highest care of treatment.

We offer additional sedation services which allows you to ‘sleep’ throughout the procedure. To further discuss what is involved and how this may work for you, please call our friendly staff to book an appointment.

The entire process may take between 3-12 months, depending on your unique medical conditions and the operation you require.

The end result? A stronger solution, which looks better, feels better, and is less prone to further tooth decay.

How Do I Take Care Of My New Dental Crown Or Bridge?

Your new dental crown/bridge will need to be taken care of just as you would your natural teeth. This means you will need to brush and floss twice daily in the area, your dentist will demonstrate how to do this following your treatment.

We advise that you avoid eating any hard foods in the area of the new Dental Crown or Bridge for 24 hours immediately after placement. The cement used to bond the dental crown/bridge continues to set and mature for approximately 24 hours to achieve optimum strength.

If you experience mild sensitivity to hot or cold foods do not be concerned. The sensations will improve gradually over the next 4 – 6 weeks.

Movement of the crown or bridge
Sensitivity to sweet foods/drinks
Sensitivity to pressure
Breakage or loss of material from dental crown or bridge (very unlikely with Porcelain fused Zirconia crowns)
Bad taste in the mouth in the area of your dental crown/bridge

*Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks, the clinicians at Dentists & Doctors will be happy to discuss all risks associated with any procedure prior to your treatment.

The Drawbacks Of Dentures And Bridges

If you’re missing multiple teeth, you may have a set of dentures or a traditional bridge to support your teeth.
Dentures can be inserted during the day to support your missing teeth and the gums which surround it. However, they must be taken out at night and cleaned regularly, or else further complications might develop, such as cavities, stomatitis and infection. Dentures also vary in their comfort and stability, and it is not uncommon for people to develop ulcers as a result.
A traditional bridge replaces a missing tooth by using support from its two neighbouring teeth. These two neighbours are reshaped to be able to support one crown each, while the missing tooth is replaced by an artificial tooth known as a pontic. The pontic is supported by an abutment and the two crowns on either side of it, creating a firm trio. While bridges are strong, the healthy bone and gum underneath it remains vulnerable to deterioration. If left unchecked, the deteriorated structures might allow the growth of bacteria, which is a risk to both the replaced tooth and its neighbors.
