General Dentistry at Integrity Dental is about more than just fixing problems — it is about helping you develop effective care routines to keep you healthy, smiling and looking good for life. Our team provides comprehensive general dentistry services at our Baulkham Hills and Dural practices.
Restorative (Fillings)
High-quality tooth-coloured restorations are placed to restore any defect caused by decay or other damage to the tooth structure. Our fillings are carefully matched to the natural colour of your teeth, providing both function and aesthetics in one appointment.
We use the latest materials and techniques to ensure your restoration is durable, natural-looking, and comfortable for everyday use.
Diagnostics
Accurate diagnosis is the foundation of great dental care. Our team uses digital X-rays, intraoral cameras and clinical examinations to ascertain the correct diagnosis and explain our findings to you in a clear and understandable way.
We believe informed patients make better decisions about their dental health. We take the time to walk you through your X-rays and examination results so you fully understand your options.
Dental Decay
Where a tooth has been damaged by decay, a restoration (filling) is the best treatment to restore the tooth to its full function and appearance. Our dental hygienists work with you to maintain an ongoing preventative program to reduce the risk of future decay.
Early detection of dental decay means simpler, less invasive treatment. That is why regular check-ups are so important — catching small problems before they become large ones.
Wisdom Teeth
Wisdom teeth (third molars) typically erupt between the ages of 17–25. Problems most often arise when a wisdom tooth only partially erupts or is in an improper position in the jaw.
Reasons for Removal
- Decay
Bacteria collect around impacted wisdom teeth making them very difficult to clean, leading to decay in the wisdom tooth and sometimes the adjacent molar.
- Pressure Causing Pain
An erupting wisdom tooth can press on neighbouring teeth, causing pain, crowding and shifting of your existing teeth.
- Formation of a Cyst
An infected, fluid-filled pocket can form around an impacted wisdom tooth, potentially causing bone destruction and damage to surrounding structures.
- Unerupted but Symptomatic
Lower wisdom teeth are especially problematic — even when unerupted, they can cause pain, infection and discomfort in the jaw and gum tissue.
The Extraction Process
Assessment includes a thorough clinical examination and dental X-ray. The extraction procedure uses a local anaesthetic numbing injection to ensure you are completely comfortable. Our team will phone you after your procedure to check on your recovery and healing.
