Understanding Dental Procedures: What to Expect
Dental procedures can sometimes seem daunting, but understanding what to expect can help alleviate anxiety and ensure a smoother experience. At Kurri Kurri Dental Surgery, our team is dedicated to providing compassionate care and transparent communication throughout every procedure.
Here's what you can expect during common dental treatments:
Fillings: Fillings are used to repair teeth damaged by decay. During the procedure, the decayed portion of the tooth is removed, and the area is filled with a durable material such as composite resin or amalgam. The filling restores the tooth's shape and function while preventing further decay.
Extractions: Tooth extractions may be necessary for severely decayed, damaged, or impacted teeth. Our team will ensure your comfort throughout the procedure, using local anesthesia to numb the area before carefully removing the tooth.
Root Therapies (Endodontics): Root canal therapy is performed to save a tooth that has become infected or severely decayed. During the procedure, the infected pulp is removed, and the root canal is cleaned and sealed to prevent further infection.
Modern Dental Technology: At Kurri Kurri Dental Surgery, we utilize state-of-the-art dental technology to enhance patient comfort and treatment outcomes. From digital X-rays for precise diagnostics to CAD/CAM technology for same-day crowns, we leverage the latest advancements to provide efficient and effective care.
Patient Education: Our team will take the time to explain each step of the procedure and answer any questions you may have. We believe in empowering our patients with knowledge so they can feel confident and informed about their dental treatment.
Whether you're visiting us for a routine filling or a more complex procedure, you can trust the experienced team at Kurri Kurri Dental Surgery to provide compassionate care and exceptional results.
