BENEFIT YOUR SMILE
For all our checkup and clean services, we’ve carefully designed a step-by-step process to ensure we consider all elements of your oral health. By joining our practice for your own needs, you can expect:
• A complete examination of your teeth and gums – By examining both your teeth and gums, our clinicians can identify any potential problems including gum disease, cavities, and more.
• Intra-Oral camera photos – Mainly used as an education tool, these photos can allow both you and the dentist to see inside your mouth to better involve you in your treatment option plans.
• Fluoride application – Fluoride prevents decay while reducing teeth sensitivity, keeping you protected well after you leave our office.
Station Dental Chatswood recommends a professional checkup and clean every six months for most patients. Patients with a history of gum disease, high decay risk, or complex dental needs may benefit from more frequent visits — your dentist will advise the right schedule for you at your appointment.
A dental checkup at Station Dental Chatswood includes a thorough examination of your teeth, gums and bite, digital X-rays, intra-oral camera photos, and a professional scale and clean. Your dentist will discuss any findings with you and recommend a personalised treatment plan if any issues are detected.
Medicare generally does not cover general dental treatment for adults in Australia. However, children aged 2 to 17 who meet the Medicare eligibility criteria may receive up to $1,095 in dental benefits over two consecutive calendar years under the Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS). Station Dental Chatswood can check your child’s eligibility — call 02 9410 2211 for details.
Station Dental Chatswood uses tooth-coloured composite resin fillings, which are matched to the natural shade of your teeth for a natural-looking result. These replace older silver amalgam fillings and are suitable for both back and front teeth. The area is numbed with local anaesthetic before the procedure to keep you comfortable.
A scale and clean is a professional dental cleaning procedure that removes tartar (hardened plaque) and surface stains from your teeth — areas that regular brushing and flossing at home cannot fully reach. At Station Dental Chatswood, a scale and clean is included as part of your six-monthly check-up appointment and is one of the most effective ways to prevent gum disease.
Gum disease (also called periodontitis or periodontal disease) is a bacterial infection of the gums and supporting bone around teeth. It is very common in Australia and one of the leading causes of adult tooth loss. Station Dental Chatswood screens for gum disease at every check-up and provides treatment ranging from a deep clean to ongoing periodontal maintenance, depending on severity. Early detection leads to much better outcomes.
Yes, Station Dental Chatswood provides custom-fitted mouthguards for contact sport and for teeth grinding (bruxism). A custom mouthguard is made from an impression of your own teeth, providing a more precise fit and better protection than a generic over-the-counter option. Ask at your next check-up or book a separate appointment.
