General Dentistry Brisbane

Close up of patients smile at Brisbane dentistAt Edward St Dental, we know that no matter your age, the most relevant and essential procedures in dentistry involve routine exams and teeth cleanings. Overall, the greatest challenge to your teeth is the progressive growth of bacteria that forms a film called plaque. This growth is an inevitable result of eating and drinking and is in itself not a problem. But it can become a problem when that plaque builds up because brushing and flossing alone cannot remove it all.

Routine Dental Services for Health

In addition to routine checkups and teeth cleans, Edward St Dental offers a range of services. Some of those services are:

 

Benefits of Visiting Your Brisbane General Dentist Regularly

Working with a trusted general dentist offers several benefits you might not have considered.

Build Relationships

When Dr Matthew Pulvirenti and his dedicated team see you more often, they can develop both personal knowledge of your oral history as well as a trusting relationship.

Emergency Care

You can rest at ease knowing you have a dental team you can trust to help you during dental emergencies. Don't wait to contact Edward St Dental during a tooth emergency.

Innovative Care

At Edward St Dental, we are especially proud of our advanced technology like CEREC same-day crowns and other porcelain restorations, such as porcelain veneers and inlays.

Improved Oral Health

Healthy gums are the foundation of overall oral health, and if neglected, infected gums can lead to many other adverse health conditions.

Comprehensive Services

At Edward St Dental, we offer patients the full range of dental services needed to maintain, restore, and enhance their smiles.

Frequently Asked Questions

For optimal oral health, we recommend visiting your dentist every six months for a check-up and teeth clean. If we can detect dental problems early, we may provide less invasive and less expensive procedures.

However, we constantly tailor a treatment plan to an individual patient, so if you have gum problems or a high decay rate, we may recommend you visit us every three or four months.

X-Rays Are an Important Part of Oral Health Maintenance

X-rays alert your dentist to fundamental problems that we can’t see with the naked eye. Without x-rays, we can check only 50 per cent of your tooth surface – cavities under dental fillings could lie undetected until it’s too late. We recommend that we use screening Bitewings every two years and take large OPGs (panoramic radiographs of the entire mouth) every five years.

Book a Checkup with Our Dentist in Brisbane

At Edward St Dental, you can book an appointment online using our easy booking system. This option allows you to select from the currently available times – meaning you can choose the most suitable appointment time for you. If you do not see the time you are looking for, please contact us directly and we can help.

If you would like to speak with our administrative team to book your appointment, please get in touch with our dental clinic by calling (07) 3221 5855.

Benefits of Visiting Your Brisbane Dentist Regularly

At regular appointments, our patients will undoubtedly notice leaving the clinic with an unmistakable clean and fresh feeling in their mouths. But that reflects just the first of the benefits our patients experience at Edward St Dental.

Second, removing plaque that persists after home care is also vital for your gum health and can ward off the early stages of periodontal disease. Healthy gums are the foundation of your overall oral health, and if neglected, gums that become infected can drive many other adverse health conditions. But regular dental cleanings do most of the preventative work vital to gum health.

Finally, when Dr Matthew Pulvirenti and his dedicated team see you more often, they can develop both personal knowledge of your oral history as well as a trusting relationship. Significant dental decay, a cracked cusp or broken cusp, and tooth loss are most often preventable. And if an unforeseen circumstance does arise where you require more involved dental treatments, we can offer every procedure and restoration you may need. We are especially proud of our CEREC same-day crowns and other porcelain restorations such as porcelain veneers and inlays.

Individualized Treatment Plans at Edward St Dental

Woman smiling in treatment chair at dentist in BrisbaneOur goal at Edward St Dental is to empower our patients to make their own informed decisions on their teeth. This process begins with solid communications so that our recommendations and patient goals, and priorities are aligned. However, we never lose sight that individual people are on the other end of the teeth.

So we offer high-quality work that does not sacrifice patient comfort. Dr Pulvirenti and a hygienist will assess your oral health and discuss your current situation. Their recommendations are augmented with x-rays and scans of teeth to help you understand what options you have with treatment plans, especially with treatments like root canal therapy and periodontal care.

Whether you need smile maintenance with a preventive teeth clean and checkup, tooth replacement, or smile enhancements, our team is well-equipped to help you reach your goals. 

General Dentistry Technology

Digital dental x-rays

Digital Dental X-Rays

Dentists can see so much through a visual exam, but they need x-ray vision to see everything. Digital dental radiographs make it possible for your Brisbane dentist to see what lies beneath the surface of your teeth and gums. 

Digital x-rays are instant, detailed images of what is under your enamel and gums. These images are invaluable to detecting decay and bone loss in their early stages when they are often easier to treat.

Because they emit less radiation and don’t require chemicals to develop, they are better for you, your family and our fragile environment.

Like digital photographs on your computer screen, your Brisbane dentist can zoom in, adjust exposure and improve contrast to ensure they can see every detail available.

Digital Records

Keeping your records computerised means having access to your entire dental history within our clinic at our fingertips. This helps us to monitor any changes from one exam to the next, even subtle differences to bone levels.

Having digital records means a seamless continuity of care for our patients.
