How can we help you?
We understand that visiting the dentist can raise many questions about treatments, procedures and what to expect during your appointment. Our comprehensive FAQ section addresses the most common inquiries from our patients, providing clear and helpful answers to put your mind at ease. From appointment scheduling and payment options to specific treatment information, dental implants, and aftercare instructions, we've compiled these responses to ensure you feel fully informed and confident about your dental care journey with us.
Full Mouth Reconstruction
A full mouth reconstruction can transform your confidence and quality of life, and at Forster Tuncurry Dental & Implants, Dr Kenny and Dr Olivia work with patients from all walks of life to create their dream smiles. The beauty of smile makeovers is that they're highly customised to address each person's unique concerns and goals.
Personalised Treatment Plans for Healthy, Beautiful Smiles
Ideal candidates typically include people with:
- Multiple cosmetic concerns affecting several teeth
- Significantly discoloured or stained teeth that don't respond to whitening
- Worn, chipped or broken teeth from age or grinding
- Gaps between teeth or uneven spacing
- Crooked or misaligned teeth
- Missing teeth that affect appearance and function
- Gum irregularities that impact smile aesthetics
- Old, failing dental work that needs replacement
What Makes a Good Candidate?
You should be in good general and oral health, or be willing to address any underlying issues first. Realistic expectations are essential, as is commitment to maintaining excellent oral hygiene after treatment. Non-smokers typically achieve better, longer-lasting results.
There's no upper age limit for smile makeovers. Whether you're in your twenties wanting to perfect your smile or in your seventies looking to restore function and aesthetics, treatment can be tailored to your needs.
During your consultation at our Forster dental surgery, we'll discuss your concerns, assess your oral health and create a personalised treatment plan. Dr Kenny and Dr Olivia will explain all available options and help you understand what's possible for your unique situation, ensuring your makeover exceeds expectations.
A full-mouth rehabilitation treatment plan is highly personalised to the patient's unique needs. Dr Kenny or Dr Olivia provides a thorough evaluation in which they'll gather information about your smile goals, needs, budget and lifestyle. They use that information to make recommendations for your treatment plan.
Customised Treatment for Your Smile
Some of the treatment procedures our dentists may recommend are:
- Tooth-coloured fillings — Composite fillings aim to eliminate small areas of tooth decay.
- Veneers — Composite or porcelain veneers can restore chipped or broken teeth, gaps between teeth, tooth size or shape discrepancies.
- Dental implants — These are the gold standard in tooth replacement because they restore both tooth and root.
- Root canal treatment — Root canals can eliminate a tooth infection and preserve natural tooth structure.
- Tooth extraction — An extraction removes a tooth that's become unsalvagable due to decay, damage or infection.
- Clear aligners — Clear aligners are designed to straighten teeth without the need for wearing traditional braces.
How Can I Get Started?
If you're living with several smile concerns, you should know there are solutions. The first step is to book an evaluation with one of our dentists. With x-rays, an exam, 3-D imaging and photos, our dentists will create a treatment plan to help you reach your goals.
