Question 1

How often should you visit the dentist?

Accepted Answer

If you would like to find out how often you need to visit the dentist, consult our team of dentists today by making an appointment. We need to consider many aspects of your oral health to give you an estimated timeline for check-ups.

We cannot advise the frequency of check-ups due to everyone having different oral health and risk levels. The lack of proven research in this has left the dental industry unable to give recommendations for the average patient on how often to visit the dentist.
 
At Dentist Collingwood, we can help determine the optimal frequency you’ll need to visit a dentist based on your oral health, age and lifestyle. The last thing you want is to be visiting a dentist too often. 
 
If you’re in need of a new dentist or have never been before, give us a call and we can help you find a home with our team at Dentist Collingwood. Make the switch today and find out why we’re one of the best dentists in Melbourne.

Question 3

What does a dentist do during my first appointment?

Accepted Answer

Dentists will always perform different steps and procedures depending on their practice. Their will, however, will always be the same — to provide a dental check-up to gain comprehensive information about your oral health. 
 
Our team at Dentist Collingwood is dedicated to giving you the best quality dentistry. We’ll begin by asking you some simple questions that allow us to formulate the best check-up procedure. Once we’ve understood everything we needed to know we’ll begin the following steps.

Question 4

Best Dental Clinic For Teeth Hygiene In Collingwood?

Accepted Answer

Our dental hygienist will clean your teeth and remove plaque and other foreign bodies that might impact the health of your teeth. Based on their observation, our hygienists may give you specific brushing and flossing tips to achieve better oral hygiene.

Question 5

How do All on 4® dental implants compare to traditional implants?

Accepted Answer

All on 4® is an implant treatment option that can fix and correct 4 teeth at once. Our dentists can fix the All on 4® to your jawbone in just a single visit. The All on 4® also allows those needing dental bridges to begin just 2 days after the All on 4® installation.

Another benefit of All on 4® is that you can undertake this procedure with low jawbone density while also avoiding bone grafting.

Traditional impacts can help replace and restore a single tooth, but it’s not the smart choice for restoring a full dental arch.

If you want multiple implants, the All on 4® can often be a cheaper option than multiple singular dental implants. Standard implants often require a month recovery after the installation.

Question 6

How much will my All on 4® implants cost?

Accepted Answer

All on 4® is a state-of-the-art restoration option that can replace an entire arch of teeth with just 4 implants. It is a cost-efficient treatment to get a fixed replacement. 
 
•	4 implants reduce the total time the procedure takes. Standard implants may require up to 14 implants to restore your arch, increasing the cost and time it takes.
•	Our single implant procedure attaches the All on 4® in only a couple easy sitting.
•	Discover a fully functional dental bridge in only 2–3 visits with our clinic and the All on 4®.
•	Our All on 4® procedure avoids the need for bone grafting.

The All on 4® upper jaw cost starts at $19,500, while the lower jaw is $18,000. This cost estimate does not include teeth extractions, sleep dentistry or computer-guided surgery. We will provide you with an accurate cost estimate after completing a detailed oral examination. 
 
We believe in offering high-quality dental solutions that are affordable for people in Melbourne. Dentist Collingwood is a proud service provider for insurance networks AHBF, Bupa, HBA, HFC, HICAPS and Medibank just to name a few.
 
Dentistry doesn’t have to be out of reach, we have also partnered with GE CareCredit to offer flexible interest-free finance options. Learn more about the CareCredit plans today.

Question 7

How long does the Myobrace® treatment program last?

Accepted Answer

Myobrace® is a pre-orthodontic treatment option that corrects crooked teeth for children. Myobrace® devices help children to breathe through the nose, train their tongue to rest in the correct position, swallow correctly, and keep their lips together. 
 
This treatment ensures the proper development of their mouth and jaws by correcting poor oral habits and straightening their teeth. 
 
The treatment duration of Myobrace® varies from person to person. Though the treatment system is designed for children aged between 3 to 15, the earlier your child starts the Myobrace® treatment, the better and faster the results will be. 
 
Myobrace® includes a series of devices children should wear 1–2 hour every day and throughout the nights while sleeping. Children can also perform activities such as breathing using mouth and tongue exercises. These routines will instil good habits for your child.
