Your Trusted Local Dentists at Arthur Street Dental
At Arthur Street Dental, we believe that a healthy smile is a happy smile. Dr Justin Ward and our entire team are committed to the goal of providing the Coffs Harbour community with the highest standard of dental care in a welcoming and supportive environment. We take the time to listen to your concerns and explain your treatment options clearly.
Preventive Dentistry: The Foundation of a Healthy Smile
Preventive dentistry is at the heart of what we do. Regular dental exams and cleanings in Coffs Harbour help our patients maintain optimal oral health and avoid common dental problems and painful emergencies. With consistent check-ups, Dr Ward can identify potential issues like decay or gum disease in their earliest stages, when they are often simpler and less invasive to treat.
Our preventive dental services include:
- Comprehensive Dental Exams: Thorough assessment of your teeth, gums and overall oral health.
- Professional Teeth Cleans: Our experienced hygiene department will tailor a program specifically for you, removing plaque and tartar build-up to help keep your teeth and gums healthy.
- Digital X-Rays: We use routine diagnostic digital x-rays for early detection with increased safety, accuracy and reduced radiation.
- Fluoride Applications: To strengthen enamel and help prevent cavities.
- Dental Sealants: A protective coating applied to the chewing surfaces of molars to help prevent decay.
- Custom Sporting Mouthguards: Essential protection for anyone participating in contact sports.
- Bruxism Nightguards: To protect teeth from damage caused by clenching or grinding during sleep.
Restorative Dentistry: Repairing and Strengthening Your Teeth
Few of us will escape the need for at least one dental restoration in our lifetimes. When teeth suffer from fracture, decay or wear, restorative dentistry can help. Dr Ward uses modern materials for tooth restorations in Coffs Harbour, aiming to improve the health, function and longevity of your teeth.
Our restorative dentistry options include:
- Tooth-Coloured Fillings: We use durable and aesthetic tooth-coloured materials for fillings, so your repaired tooth will blend with your natural smile.
- Dental Crowns: Custom-made "caps" that cover a damaged or weakened tooth to restore its shape, size, strength and appearance.
- Dental Bridges: A solution to replace one or more missing teeth, anchored by adjacent teeth or implants.
- Inlays & Onlays: Conservative restorations used when a cavity is too large for a simple filling but a full crown isn't necessary.
Tooth Replacement: Solutions for a Complete Smile
Missing teeth can affect your ability to speak and eat properly. Arthur Street Dental offers several tooth replacement solutions:
- Dental Bridges: A fixed solution for missing teeth.
- Partial Dentures: Removable appliances that replace a few missing teeth.
- Complete Dentures: Removable appliances that replace all teeth in an upper or lower arch.
- Implant-Retained Dentures: For enhanced stability, dentures can be secured with dental implants.
A complete smile may make it easier to speak and eat the foods you love.
Enhancing Your Smile: Cosmetic Dental Options in Coffs Harbour
Cosmetic dentistry may enhance the natural beauty of your smile, helping you achieve the look you desire.
Our cosmetic dentistry options include:
- Teeth Whitening: Professional options to regain a bright, youthful-looking smile.
- Dental Veneers: Thin, custom-made shells bonded to the front of teeth to improve their appearance (can also be considered restorative).
- Tooth-Coloured Fillings, Bonding and Crowns: Artfully used to create aesthetic improvements.
