Complete Dental Implants

At Dentist on Tweed, we offer a range of cosmetic dentistry services to our clients in Tweed Heads and Southport. Our services include dental implants, teeth whitening, crowns and dental bridges.

Dental implants (including mini implants) are made up of an artificial root manufactured out of titanium metal and a replacement tooth. An implant is, as the name suggests, implanted into the jawbone to anchor the synthetic tooth in place. Mini implants are used to replace smaller missing teeth or where there is a tighter space to work with.

Both implants help to create a complete, natural looking smile while being a long-term tooth replacement solution. Talk to one of our dentists about dental implants today.

Crowns & Dental Bridges

In some cases, fillings won’t provide enough protection to the tooth. When this occurs, often a crown is used to provide a protective covering. Crowns are commonly used for cosmetic enhancement purposes, to help repair decaying teeth, replace fractured fillings or in root canal treated teeth.

A dental bridge is similar to the crown in the way they cover a tooth, encapsulating a set of teeth, rather than just one. By combining 2 or more crowns, we are able to fill in gaps created by several missing teeth. This can help restore not only the look of your smile, but assist with enhancing your chewing and speaking abilities.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is cosmetic dentistry?

Cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving the appearance of your teeth, gums and overall smile. It includes a variety of procedures such as teeth whitening, veneers, bonding and reshaping. While these treatments are primarily aesthetic, some also contribute to the functionality and health of your teeth.
How long do cosmetic dentistry results last?

The longevity of cosmetic dentistry results depends on the type of procedure and how well you maintain your oral health. For example, teeth whitening results may last several months to a few years, depending on your diet and oral care habits. Veneers and crowns can last 10-15 years or longer with proper care. Regular dental check-ups, good oral hygiene and avoiding habits like teeth grinding or smoking can help extend the life of cosmetic dental work.
Is cosmetic dentistry suitable for everyone?

Cosmetic dentistry can benefit most people looking to enhance the appearance of their smile, but it’s important to have a healthy foundation before undergoing cosmetic treatments. Issues like gum disease, cavities or significant tooth decay should be addressed before pursuing cosmetic procedures.

Additionally, certain treatments may not be suitable for everyone; for instance, teeth whitening may not be effective for individuals with deep intrinsic stains. A consultation with a dentist will help determine the best course of action based on your oral health and aesthetic goals.
How do I care for my teeth after cosmetic dentistry procedures?

After undergoing cosmetic dentistry procedures, maintaining good oral hygiene is crucial to preserving the results. This includes brushing twice a day, flossing daily and using any specific products your dentist may recommend. Regular dental check-ups are also important to monitor your oral health and the longevity of the cosmetic work.

Additionally, avoid habits that can damage your teeth, such as biting hard objects, grinding your teeth or consuming staining foods and drinks, especially after teeth whitening procedures. Your dentist will provide detailed aftercare instructions tailored to the specific treatment you received.
Should I go to the dentist if I have a toothache?

An ongoing toothache is a definite sign that you should make an appointment with your dentist. Until you can see your dentist, we recommend rinsing your mouth out with water and flossing to help remove debris, which may reduce pain. If you have any swelling, apply a cold compression to your cheek.

You may use painkillers, although avoid aspirin as they are known to prevent blood from clotting.
Is there a way I can stop my braces or retainer from being uncomfortable?

We find if you place a tiny bit of cotton ball or little piece of wax over the end of the wire, it will stop it from being irritating or uncomfortable.

If the wire has pierced your cheek, please call your dentist immediately. Do not attempt to remove the wire yourself as it may cause you more harm.
Can a tooth that has been knocked out be put back in?

It can! You have about 30 minutes to call our emergency dental service to rescue the tooth. Until you arrive, gently clean the tooth with water only and place it back into the socket the right way up. If the tooth cannot be replanted, place the tooth in a container of milk or water. Alternatively, you can place the tooth inside your cheek until you reach your dental office.
What do I do if I have broken or chipped a tooth?

Make a dental appointment straight away. In the meantime, clean the chipped tooth segment with water, milk or your own saliva. To help reduce swelling and minimise pain, apply a cold compression to the area.
What do I do if I have badly bitten my lip or tongue?

If your lip or tongue is bleeding, apply direct pressure with a clean piece of cloth or gauze. Swelling can be reduced with a cold compression. For severe cuts, call your dentist or doctor immediately.
