Our Treatments

Check-up and Clean

Regardless of how meticulous your at-home dental care is, food trapped in hard-to-reach areas and the buildup of tartar can be challenging to clean without professional help. To maintain good oral health and that of your loved ones, it is important to schedule regular professional dental checkups and cleanings. The frequency of these visits will be advised to you by our dentists depending on your individual oral health and habits, such as smoking.

During your appointment, we conduct a thorough assessment of your teeth and gums, enabling early detection of any potential issues saving you the inconvenience and extensive treatments later on. We will also advise you the measures on how you can keep your teeth clean and healthy in between the visits.

Tooth Coloured Fillings

Tooth-coloured fillings offer a discreet and durable solution for cavity restoration, seamlessly blending with your natural teeth. At Sparkling White Dental, we use only the high-quality materials that not only prioritise your health but also seamlessly blend in with your natural teeth.

Previously, metal amalgam fillings were the only option, but recent findings have shown potential health risks associated with them. We offer a much better alternative: composite fillings. They seamlessly match your natural tooth colour and outperform traditional metal fillings. If you have an amalgam filling, why not book an appointment today to have them replaced for better health and aesthetics?

Same-Day Dental Crowns

If your tooth has undergone extensive restoration treatment such as heavy filling, root canal treatment, or is weakened for any reasons, a dental crown may be recommended by our dentists. It serves as a protective cap, safeguarding and reinforcing your tooth while restoring its functionality, particularly for chewing.

Crafted in-house with precision using state-of-the-art CEREC technology and digital impressions, we are able to provide same-day treatment, saving you time. Our dental crowns seamlessly match your natural teeth in colour, shape, and size. Plus, with our 18-month replacement guarantee, you can trust in the quality of our crowns and enjoy peace of mind.

Tooth Extraction

At Sparkling White Dental, preserving your natural teeth is our priority. However, if extraction is necessary, we ensure it's done with the utmost care to minimise discomfort. Conditions like impacted wisdom teeth, severe decay or preparation for orthodontic treatment may require extraction for your comfort.

Our highly experienced and gentle dentists use advanced technology and techniques such as laser dentistry which allows us to perform extractions with minimal invasiveness and virtually no bleeding, reducing infection risk and speeding up healing. We also employ innovative techniques like Concentrated Growth Factor (CGF), utilising the patient's own blood elements to promote faster healing in the treated area post-extraction. If applicable to your condition, we will also walk you through different prosthetic options to replace the function and appearance of your missing tooth or teeth.

Children's Dentistry

As a family dental clinic, we pride ourselves on delivering top-notch dental care tailored to every member of your family, including children’s dentistry. Our dedicated staff strive to make every child's visit comfortable and relaxing. We believe in creating positive experiences that instil lifelong dental habits, ensuring each appointment lays the foundation for future visits through safe and enjoyable experiences.

Our principal dentist, Dr. Bik, has a special passion for children's dentistry, particularly in monitoring their dental and breathing development. He firmly believes that early intervention can significantly reduce or even eliminate the need for extensive orthodontic treatments later on. By addressing breathing habits early, we can spare children a lifetime of discomfort.

We also gladly accept all health funds and offer the Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS) entitlements for eligible children up to 17 years old.

Dentures

Dentures

If you are facing the challenge of missing teeth or severely worn-out ones that require replacement with prosthetics, we provide a comprehensive range of solutions to restore both aesthetics and functionality. Among these, dentures stand as one of the popular options due to its natural look and cost effectiveness. Our custom-made dentures are meticulously crafted to snugly fit your oral contours, delivering a natural-looking finish seamlessly blending with your surrounding teeth.

We offer different types of dentures tailored to your specific needs. This includes partial dentures for addressing limited tooth loss, full dentures designed to replace entire dental arches, and secure implant-retained dentures, offering a reliable alternative to traditional removable dentures.

Mouthguards

A mouthguard is a specially designed appliance that fits over your teeth to protect them during sports and other activities. Facial injuries are common in sports, and without protection, you risk losing teeth, breaking or chipping them, jaw fractures, and injuries to the soft tissues of the mouth.

There are two options for mouthguards: over-the-counter versions from your local pharmacy and custom-designed ones from your dentist. We recommend the custom-designed mouthguards because they are tailored to fit your teeth perfectly, offering superior protection compared to generic store-bought versions. Custom mouthguards are less likely to fall out, better absorb impact, and do not hinder breathing or speaking. It's better to be safe and have peace of mind when giving your best shot.

Dental Bridges

Dental Bridges

Dental bridges are prosthetic devices designed to replace one or more missing teeth. They are custom-made from three or more porcelain or ceramic crowns fused together. The adjacent teeth or implants act as anchors, with these neighbouring teeth being capped with crowns to secure the bridge in place.

Unlike removable dentures, dental bridges are securely anchored to adjacent teeth, avoiding the inconvenience of dentures. They offer a cost-effective way to restore the function and appearance of missing teeth and prevent the shifting of remaining teeth. After placement, our dentists will provide care instructions to ensure the longevity of your dental bridges.

Root Canal Treatment

Root Canal Treatment

If you are experiencing painful, bleeding, red, or swollen gums, you might have gum disease. Ignoring these symptoms can lead to severe discomfort and potential health risks from infection. If you notice any of these issues, please book an appointment with us immediately. Our dentist will conduct a thorough examination to identify the underlying causes and determine if a root canal treatment is necessary.

If a root canal is needed, the procedure involves removing the infected tooth pulp by drilling a hole, thoroughly cleaning and disinfecting the nerve chamber, and then filling it with a thick, rubbery material called gutta-percha. Finally, the tooth is sealed with a tooth-coloured filling. Learn more about our root canal treatment services here.

Frequently Asked Questions

We recommend visiting the dentist every six months for regular check-ups and cleanings to maintain optimal oral health and detect potential issues early on.
Whether or not wisdom teeth need to be removed depends on various factors, such as their position, alignment, and impact on oral health and nearby teeth. We can assess your wisdom teeth during a consultation and recommend the best action plan.
Teeth cleaning typically takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the extent of plaque and tartar buildup. Our experienced hygienists and general dentists thoroughly and gently clean your teeth using advanced techniques, leaving them feeling fresh and healthy.

It is not uncommon to experience mild sensitivity after a dental cleaning, especially if you have sensitive teeth or extensive plaque buildup. However, any discomfort should be temporary and can usually be alleviated with a fluoride treatment or desensitising toothpaste.

If the sensitivity persists or worsens, please book an appointment with us to identify and treat the underlying issues.

Routine brushing and flossing may not effectively remove tartar buildup, particularly in challenging-to-reach spots. To ensure thorough cleaning, we recommend regular professional dental check-ups and cleanings. During your appointment, we conduct a comprehensive analysis of your mouth and teeth to identify any potential issues early on.

Skipping appointments could result in undetected problems and the need for more extensive treatment later.

Many dental insurance plans include routine check-ups and cleanings as part of preventive care. However, coverage can vary depending on your specific plan and provider. We recommend contacting your insurance company to gain clarity on your coverage, associated costs, and the expiration period of benefits. This ensures you understand the extent of your benefits and can make informed decisions about your dental care.
