Prevention is Cure
The latest research papers show that personal oral hygiene and dental health has a direct impact on the rest of our body’s functions and systems. Many diseases such as heart conditions, cancer, and diabetes can be spotted in your mouth. Dental diseases may be the early signs of other systemic conditions.
At Refresh Dental, we take the approach of not only assessing your teeth and gums but also routinely monitoring for indicators of any disease or potential medical conditions you may have. We work closely with a team of doctors, osteopaths, and chiropractors in the local area to give you the best quality of care.

Our General Treatment Options
Routine Dental Checks
Our comprehensive routine dental check-ups are designed to ensure that your teeth and gums remain healthy and strong. During these visits, our experienced dental professionals conduct thorough examinations, which include inspecting your teeth, gums, and mouth for any signs of cavities, gum disease, or other oral health issues. We also perform professional cleanings to remove plaque and tartar buildup, which helps to prevent tooth decay and gum disease.
We take the time to discuss your oral hygiene habits and offer personalised advice on how to maintain good dental health between visits. Whether it’s your child’s first dental check-up or a routine visit for yourself, we are dedicated to making your experience as pleasant and stress-free as possible.
Regular dental check-ups at Refresh Dental not only help to keep your smile looking its best but also play a crucial role in your overall health.
Tooth coloured fillings
At Refresh Dental our white fillings are available in a wide range of shades and opacities. Our team of highly trained dental professionals are able to build up white fillings through a complex ‘layering technique’ to create perfect, yet invisible, restorations that blend into the rest of your smile. White or tooth coloured fillings provide a healthier, more natural alternative to traditional silver amalgam fillings. They also allow for a minimally invasive restoration meaning more of your natural tooth can be preserved.
White filings can be used in the front or the back of the mouth. They are the ideal, natural-looking way, to restore strength and function to damaged teeth. Our dentists can build up cracked or chipped teeth to restore each tooth to its original look and feel.
The white filling material can also be used to close gaps, reshape uneven or short teeth and fill cavities caused by tooth decay. We can also replace metal or amalgam fillings.
Crowns and Onlays
If you have a larger filling, or perhaps a broken cusp on a tooth, we may want to consider a porcelain inlay or crown. These restorations are a simple and effective treatment. Let’s talk about what inlays and crowns are about, and whether it’s right for you!
An inlay is used similarly to a traditional filling, but looks much more genuine. An onlay is necessary for a significant reconstruction, where it extends out over one or more cusps of the tooth. Often, inlays may replace traditional fillings that failed or fell out, since they are more durable.
Advances in the strength and appearance of porcelain crowns have made them the leading choice in restoring damaged teeth to their former splendor. A tooth that has been damaged by root canal, grinding, decay or fracture is likely to break from the stress of daily use. But a porcelain crown strengthens your tooth by providing 360 degrees of coverage.
DO YOU TREAT NERVOUS PATIENTS?
One in every seven adults who have ever been to the dentist suffers from extreme dental anxiety and fifty percent overall are anxious to some degree. So if you suffer from dental anxiety please know you are not alone. Dental anxiety can be triggered by many different things such as sight, sound or smells within a dental practice, the fear of needles, the drill, or just the feeling of not being in control. We offer a range of special techniques to help reduce dental anxiety, these include:
Dental sedation, needle free numbing, calming aromatherapy, soundproofing headphones, and audiovisual system.
