Dental Services at Quay Dental Willoughby

Everything below is available at our Willoughby practice. Each service has its own page with more detail on what is involved, how long it takes and who it suits, so you can read up before you come in.

General Dentistry in Willoughby

General dentistry covers the routine care that keeps teeth and gums healthy, and finds problems while they are small. At Willoughby this includes check-ups and cleans, fillings, gum disease treatment, root canal treatment, tooth extractions and wisdom teeth removal.

• Dental Check-up & Clean

A check-up and clean is a close look at your teeth and gums, X-rays if you need them, and a professional clean to remove plaque and tartar. Most people benefit from one every six to twelve months; we will suggest an interval based on your mouth.

• Gum Disease Treatment

Gum disease treatment ranges from a deep clean below the gum line to laser gum treatment, depending on how far the disease has progressed.

• Mouthguards & Snoring

We make custom snoring mouthguards that hold the lower jaw slightly forward to help keep the airway open. They suit some snorers and not others, so we assess you first.

• Root Canal Treatment

When the nerve inside a tooth is infected or damaged, root canal treatment removes it, then cleans and seals the tooth so it can often be kept rather than extracted.

• Dentures

Dentures replace missing teeth to help with chewing, speech and appearance. They can be full or partial, and are also used while you wait for implants or other treatment.

• Oral Surgery

Oral surgery at Willoughby includes wisdom teeth removal and extractions. Like any surgery it carries risks, which we explain, along with the alternatives, before you decide.

Restorative Dentistry in Willoughby

Restorative dentistry repairs or replaces damaged and missing teeth, using fillings, crowns, bridges and implants. Book online or call 02 9128 4088 to arrange an assessment.

• Dental Crowns & Bridges

A dental crown covers a weakened or heavily filled tooth to protect it. A dental bridge fills the gap left by a missing tooth by anchoring to the teeth either side.

• Dental Implants

Dental implants replace a missing tooth with a titanium post placed in the jawbone and a crown on top. Implant surgery carries risks, and suitability depends on your bone and general health, so every implant starts with an assessment and a discussion of the alternatives. Results vary from person to person.

Orthodontics in Willoughby

Orthodontic treatment moves teeth into better alignment over time, which can make them easier to clean and change how your bite works.

• Clear Aligners / Invisalign™

Clear aligners, including Invisalign™, are removable trays you change every week or two. They are less visible than braces, but they only work if worn for most of the day, and they do not suit every case. We will tell you if another option would work better for you.

Cosmetic Dentistry in Willoughby

Cosmetic dentistry focuses on how your teeth look: their colour, shape and alignment. We talk through what each option can realistically change for you before recommending anything.

• Veneers

Veneers are thin composite or porcelain shells bonded to the front of the teeth to change their shape or colour. Porcelain veneers usually need some tooth preparation, which cannot be reversed.

• Teeth Whitening

We offer in-chair and take-home teeth whitening. How much lighter your teeth get, and how long it lasts, depends on the cause of the staining and your habits afterwards. Whitening does not change crowns, veneers or fillings.

Emergency Dentist in Willoughby

If you have toothache, a broken tooth or swelling, call us on 02 9128 4088. We keep time aside for dental emergencies and will see you as soon as we can, whether or not you are already a patient. If you have swelling that affects your breathing or swallowing, go to your nearest hospital emergency department.

Children's Dentistry

Our Willoughby practice sees children from their first visit onwards. Children’s appointments are kept relaxed and unhurried, and we show parents how to look after their child’s teeth at home. Eligible children may be covered under the Child Dental Benefits Schedule.
