Splints at Abc Dental

Why do I need a night guard / splint?

Night guards protect your teeth from grinding at night. While it's normal to grind, and some grinding won't damage your teeth or jaw, those that do grind (and do it a lot) are at risk. However, night guards are a great way to make sure your teeth are always protected.

Not sure if you're a grinder? You're in luck! You can visit any of ABC Dental's convenient locations for a complimentary consult. Our team will be able to tell, upon examination, whether you show symptoms of grinding.

We accept payments via Afterpay, Zip Money and Supercare. For more information on payment please see link: https://www.abc-dental.com.au/payment-finance

Goodbye Metal Fillings

Goodbye metal fillings! 

Everyone wants a natural, healthy smile. In the past, metal fillings used to be your only option when you needed a crown. Now, there's a better, more naturaloption: porcelain/composite.

Porcelain/composite fillings are tooth-coloured, meaning you can't tell where your natural smile stops and where the filling starts! And at any of our convenient ABC Dental locations, we can replace your existing metal fillings with this fresh option in just one visit.

Why Porcelain/Composite?

Sure, it looks better than metal, but there are other benefits to replacing your old fillings with porcelain/composite, too! 

In addition to better aesthetics, the benefits of replacing metal fillings include:

• No Gum Line Discolouration: Gum line discolouration is a common allergic reaction caused by metal fillings. With amalgam, you don't run this risk.

• No Leakages: Metal fillings can deteriorate over time. In contrast, amalgam won't break down, meaning you won't have to return to the dentist for additional repairs.

The ABC Dental Difference

When you're ready to replace your metal fillings, join us to experience the ABC Dental difference! We offer a number of benefits when it comes to replacing metal fillings:

• Cutting-Edge CEREC Technology: We use the latest technology to maximize patient comfort and to optimise results.

• On-Site Crowns: All of our equipment is on-site. This means your crowns are available quicker and are still made from the highest-quality materials.

• One Appointment Procedures: Because we do everything on-site, you can get your new crowns in just one appointment!

• No Rough Temporaries: We take digital impressions, meaning you don't have to walk around with a rough, temporary crown in your mouth at any time.

• Customised Colours: We use a variety of shades and colours to ensure your new crown is custom-fit to your smile.

When you're ready to book your appointment to replace your metal crowns, call us on 02 8383 1400 or click the link below to schedule online!

Healthfund Benefits: Who does it Benefit?

Many people spend approximately $99-$400 depending on their health insurance policy. Most healthfunds work on a calendar year basis, unless your insurance advises otherwise. This means that all the amount that you paid up until this year will be expired on New Years Eve. Furthermore, most of these insurance companies don't offer rollovers from previous year.If you have been healthy, it's great! But how about the money you have spent the whole year that will go to waste if you don't ever use them?
Instead of giving your healthfunds the benefit of all of your covers untouched, come and get the benefit for yourself!
It's your last two months and last chance to use your rebates!

What I need vs What my healthfund covers

Just because your healthfund doesn't cover the treatment that your dentist recommends you. It doesn't mean you dont need the treatment. It is actually that you do need the treatment and to wait for the benefit roll over means you are more prone to pain or infection that could cause a cavity to turn into a painful root canal treatment. Or even worse an extraction + implant. Eventually it could cost you a higher out of pocket cost that originally expected. It's actually not all about cost cost cost. It's really about your own well being. Abc Dental prefers you to come in for a filling or a root canal treatment rather than an extraction to put in an implant. That way you save your tooth. Nothing is better than keeping your natural tooth.Then what are the options for you? If your healthfund doesn't cover, and you dont want to worsen your dental situation. What can Abc Dental offer? Check out our next blog post on Complete Dental Solutions and to find out how supercare, afterpay or zip money can help with saving costs.1. What are other payment offered at Abc Denta?

Completing RCT - What I need to do after pain has gone?

After three long appointments and now that you are finally out of pain. You may think the tooth is now fully root canal treated with no further action. If left without a crown as a helmet it is like having surgery and you say to the surgeon “dont worry about stitching up, I’ll just walk out”. Bring inside the mouth it is often hard to tell, but if you dont complete the treatment with a crown you risk loosing the whole tooth. In worst cases, even after all this investment, you may have to extract the tooth as it could still develop bacteria and infection into the roots. Meaning, you need an extraction + an implant.

Keeping your natural tooth as long as you can is always better than getting an implant.At Abc Dental we offer same day crowns too. We also have our own inhouse lab.
This means you can choose to do same day crowns $1750 or a one week wait crown $1100. There is a small difference in price but it is the same great quality. You can ask our friendly staff about by calling (02) 8383 1400 We dont have restrictions on where you can and can't go within our locations.

We are in convenient shopping centre locations Bondi Junction, Macquarie Centre, Sydney, Miranda, Chatswood, Green Hills (East Maitland) and Warringah Mall. Call (02) 8383 1400 to make an appointment/ discuss the importance of a crown after root canal treatment at Abc Dental

Metal vs Composite/ Porcelain: Think long term!

In the past, metal fillings have been the only option available when you needed a crown. Even now, you may encounter that many places offer amalgam fillings, or commonly known as metal fillings. The problem with this is that you would be left with a shiny, inauthentic looking tooth blatantly shining its existence to your friends, family and coworkers!
Rest assured, we are here to offer you an aesthetic, natural material- porcelain/ composite!

These porcelain/ composite materials are tooth-coloured and durable. It will offer you a natural smile that you couldn’t fully have with your metal fillings!
Here at ABC Dental, we can replace your existing metal fillings with this appealing option in just one single visit.

But you might ask, “Why porcelain or composite if they have the same function as a metal filling?”. The benefits of composite fillings aren’t just ‘better aesthetics!’.

The benefits of replacing metal fillings are:
No Gum Line Discolouration: gum line discolouration is a common allergic reaction caused by metal fillings. With composite or porcelain, you won’t have to suffer these risks.
No Leakages: Metal fillings can deteriorate over time. In contrast, these tooth-colured fillings won’t break down, meaning you won’t have to return to the dentist for additional repairs.

Now, the Why at ABC Dental?

At ABC Dental, we offer a number of benefits when it comes to replacing metal fillings.

• Cutting-Edge CEREC Technology: We use the latest technology to maximise patient comfort and to optimise results!

• On-site Crowns: All of our equiptment is on-site. This means your crowns or porcelain fillings are available in high quality materials, and in a quicker time!

• One Appointment Procedures: As everything is on-site, you can get your new crowns/ porcelain fillings in just one appointment.

• No Rough Temporaries: We take digital impressions. This means that you don’t have to suffer through a rough, temporary crown in your mouth while you wait for your new ones.

• Customised colours: We use a variety of shades and colours to custom match your natural tooth colour. This enables a customised colour and a perfect match to the aesthetics of your whole mouth!

Why wait?
If you have an old existing filling that is ruining the aesthetics of your mouth, come by any time and we will make it suitable for you.

We look forward to speaking with you and transforming the way you view fillings. Free consultation available at our practices in Sydney CBD, Bondi Junction, North Ryde, East Maitland, Chatswood, Miranda or Brookvale. We are open 7 days, and offer complimentary parking on site.

Treating RCT - What I need to know when I'm in pain?

Firstly, we need to detect if it is root canal treatment that you require. Sometimes, it's just that you were brushing too hard and you just need to brush softly around the gums. If the pain is throbbing and it's keeping you awake in the night. Please TAKE PAIN KILLERS don't try to win the pain cause trust us. You will loose. Call us immediately we are open all 7 days (02) 8383 1400 and book an appointment with our dentists. Root Canal is a very common procedure that dentists treat almost every day of the week. Sometimes even three times a day. For patients, it is painful and expensive, and Abc Dental hears you. At ABC Dental, we seek to turn even this intensive dental procedure into one that promotes relaxation and comfort while remaining cost-effective.

Our preventive approach to care is designed to proactively monitor decay during checkups every 6 months. By doing so, we can prevent tooth decay from reaching the roots to preserve your smile. If you find yourself in a situation where decay has reached the nerves of a tooth, there’s no need to worry. Instead, you can have peace of mind turning to ABC Dental and our advanced root canal therapy techniques.

The full root canal treatment comes in 3 stages.

1st Appointment Usually includes two stages.

Stage 1: Expiration of the Nerve
Stage 2: Expiration of the Nerve and Obturation - filling the tooth with Medication and Temporary Cap until the root is fully cleaned from bacteria and infection.

2nd Appointment Usually includes Stage 3 Prep for crown
By this stage, you would have completely be out of pain. But don't be fooled! It is still very prone to developing a new infection that can cause more pain than the last time. At this appointment, you will need to prep the tooth to cap it with a crown. But until the crown is made you will be provided with a temporary crown. You must come back to the crown insert. At Abc Dental we offer CEREC same day crowns that may not require you to come back for a third appointment. More on this in the next blog.

As this is a very common treatment it is available from all our locations.
We are only in convenient shopping centre locations Bondi Junction, Macquarie Centre, Sydney, Miranda, Chatswood, Green Hills (East Maitland) and Warringah Mall. Call (02) 8383 1400 to make an appointment/ discuss if you can be suitable for a Complete Dental Solution at Abc Dental.

Abc Lab also features a wide selection of finest materials such as hybird ceramic, porcelain, zirconia  and many more.

This allows ABC Dental to treat more advanced cases, supporting a team of highly trained dental professionals, to produce the highest quality restoration for you.

Crown Pricing - What should I be expecting?
Dental fees vary between clinics. This is the same for crowns. Fees are dependent on a range of factors. From our own research, Sydney metro prices range between $1100 - $2200.When thinking about the price of a crown, its helpful to remember that a crown on average, is expected to last many years. Clinical studies show that the average life service of a crown is observed to be around 10 years. It is more helpful to express the fee for a crown in terms of the cost per year, rather than a lump sum. In this regard, ABC crowns would be on average $110/year (same week crowns), or $175/ year (same day crowns).Another factor in price consideration is health fund coverage. For those that have private health insurance with major dental cover, a portion of the fee will be paid by your health fund. Typically, most health funds have enough major dental coverage for 1 crown per year. The price displayed above does not include health fund coverage. For example, if the health fund covers $800, and you opted for Same Week Crowns ($1100), then what you would pay is $300 for the crown treatment. This is also known as the gap payment.
We also accept afterpay, zipmoney and supercare payments.For more information click: https://www.abc-dental.com.au/when-do-i-need-a-crown 

Usually, you will need a consult first to determine whether you need a crown. Consults are available for you at all of our practices in Westfield Bondi Junction, Westfield Sydney, Westfield Miranda, Macquarie Centre Westfield Warringah, Stockland Green Hills  and Westfield Chatswood. We are open 7 days, and offer complimentary parking on site. Call us on (02) 8383 1400 for more information or to book an appointment.

It’s State of Origin Finals. Get Your Own Game Time Ready!

38 years of history has led to this year’s showdown, and with ABC Dental’s Black Panther mouthguards, your kids can play like the pros!

YOU KNOW AND LOVE STATE OF ORIGINAL FINALS – NOW, IT’S TIME TO GET YOUR KIDS GAME-TIME READY

State of Origin finals is on. With game three quickly approaching on 10 July, the showdown between NSW and Queensland is fiercer than ever. And if your kids want to play like the pros, it’s important they have quality gear that’s up to the task. 

With “black panther” mouthguards from ABC Dental, your kids will be suited up just like their favourite players (no matter which side you’re rooting for). 

Protecting Your Child’s Teeth is Priority #1, but Having Them Feel Like Their Favourite Players is a Close #2

Your kids probably don’t have the same priorities as you when it comes to rugby. They want to get in the game, and often at a very young age! No doubt they can and should play, but they need the right mouthguard to protect their developing teeth.

That’s where ABC Dental comes in. We make it fun for kids to get fitted for a mouthguard by offering a limited edition “black panther” guard that they’ll want to wear, just like the NRL stars.

WHY THE RIGHT MOUTHGUARD MATTERS

You already know that a mouthguard matters. Rugby is a physically-demanding sport, and player safety (especially when it’s your kids we’re talking about), is important. This is especially true while your children’s teeth are still developing. After all, we’d prefer that they lose their baby teeth due to natural causes and not on the rugby field. Plus:

·     Over 60% of rugby players experience some sort of orofacial trauma or injury while they’re playing; BUT

Clear Aligners at Abc Dental

Everyone wants a straight smile. However, no one wants the cost, discomfort, or “metal mouth” appearance associated with traditional teeth straightening. Now, you don’t have to deal with any of these common problems.
 
Instead, you can straighten your teeth without anyone knowing that you are.

WHAT ARE CLEAR ALIGNERS?

Invisible or clear, aligners look like retainers and allow you to straighten your teeth without wires. Like the aligners themselves, the advantages of this approach are clear:

• Removable – Take your trays out while you eat or at your convenience.

• Invisible – Invisible aligners are clear and only you’ll know you’re straightening your smile!

• No Impression Materials – We can create clear aligners with a digital scan, meaning there are no impressions required. 

Take Your Confidence and Self-Esteem to a New Level - Invisible Aligners from $5000

If you’ve put off straightening your smile, you’ve likely done so because you can’t afford braces or don’t want to spend years of your life with metal braces, especially as an adult. At ABC Dental, you don’t have to deal with either of these issues.
 
Your clear brace services begin with a no-obligation discussion, including a free scan and treatment setup. Invisible Aligners start from $5000 and, should you decide to proceed with treatment, we offer interest-free payment plans to make your smile even more affordable. 

YOUR STRAIGHT SMILE IS INTEREST-FREE, DIGITAL, AND CONVENIENT

If you’ve ever hesitated about orthodontics, it’s likely because you thought there was only one option. However, you don’t have to deal with metal braces to feel as confident as you should. Once you have your impressions you will receive a video of how your treatment will look like at thee and smile summary of how many aligners you need. 
 
Contact ABC Dental today for your free consultation and to discuss clear aligners with our friendly staff on 02 8383 1400. We look forward to speaking with you and transforming the way you view orthodontics. Free consultation available at our Westfield Bondi Junction, Westfield Sydney, Westfield Miranda, Macquarie Centre Westfield Warringah, Stockland Green Hills and Westfield Chatswood. We are open 7 days, and offer complimentary parking on site.

Set The Right Implant Expectations

What to Expect at Your ABC Dental Implant Consult (and After)

If you’re missing teeth – even if you haven’t been to the dentist yet – dental implants have probably crossed your mind. After all, they’re a simple solution for one or more missing teeth and a permanenttreatment option. We haven’t even mentioned the benefits, either:

·     Improved appearance – Dental implants prevent bone deterioration and rejuvenate facial appearance.

·     Renewed confidence –Dental implants look and feel like real teeth: that’s something to smile about!

·     No harm to surrounding, natural teeth –Bridges and dentures can damage surrounding teeth by cutting them down or grinding them. Luckily, dental implants don’t have the same consequences.

·     Improve oral health –Dental implants are free from toxic adhesives and metal, which is sometimes used to hold certain oral treatments in place.

·     Easy care –Take care of dental implants like you do your natural teeth: no extra steps required!

Some patients believe dental implants are a one and done treatment. While this would be great, it isn’t accurate. There are a few steps to the process, all of which we explain below.

A Three-Step Approach to Dental Implants

ABC Dental’s approach to dental implants comes in three basic steps: (1) the consultation; (2) surgical planning; and (3) implantation and placement.

The initial consult appointment is the first step. It’s when we get all of the information that we need for your dental implant. We’ll take a CBCT – a fancy x-ray – and a digital impression. Both work with our guided dental implant process that ensures no operator variability and a shorter recovery time with less post-operative discomfort.

Once we’ve got the scans, the dental lab begins the second step and puts together an implant plan. The implant plan is just where the lab predicts the implant screw should be placed. Then, the lab mills a surgical guide according to that implant plan. Your dentist will meet with you again once this process is complete to agree to the plan before beginning treatment.

Then all that’s left is the third step: implantation and placement. When you come on for implantation, it’s for just the screw, not the actual tooth. We’ll place a healing cap on the screw. Then, after about three months of healing, your final implant crown – a.k.a. your tooth – is placed on the screw. That’s something to smile about!
